◼ Owl Eyes - Hurricane / The Hype Machine. Top Ten Cars for Teens - Cheapest Young Driver Insurance - Fluxposure | The Adrian Flux Insurance Blog. Updated June 2012 with latest prices And additional cars which cost less to insure if you are a teenager. There’s no getting away from it. Car insurance for 17 year olds is expensive. The simple fact is, the youngest drivers on our roads are, on the whole more dangerous, owing to their understandable lack of experience behind the wheel. But if you are a young driver, there are things you can do to help yourself. First off, do an advanced driving course, like PassPlus, Btec level II, IAM, RoSPA or Max Driver. Second, take a limited mileage policy if you can commit to driving less than, say 1500, 3,000 or 5,000 miles a year.

Joining an owners club can drop your premium by up to 15%, parking your car in the garage will probably save you more than your dad, and fitting an alarm will bring down the premium too. So far, so good, but there are some factors you can’t, or are unlikely to change. So what is the cheapest car to insure. And you know where to come for classic beetle insurance!

DROOL'D | Stuff we droold over. The 100 Best, Most Interesting Blogs and Websites of 2013. Editor’s note: 2015’s list of the best, most interesting websites has arrived! Welcome to one of the web’s most anticipated lists of the year: The 100 Best, Most Interesting Blogs and Websites of 2013. This is the second such list I have made since founding DailyTekk and it’s very special. A website can only be featured ONCE in this annual series, so make sure to check out last year’s list so you don’t miss 100 other amazing sites and blogs.

I’ve broken this monster list down into 19 categories and limited myself to five links per category (except for the last category) to ensure I whittled away all but what I thought were the most deserving candidates of right here and right now in 2013. When I make this list I consider 3 things: content, design and style (you know, that x-factor that really makes a site stand out). Apparently, as of March 2012 there were 644,275,754 active websites (according to Business Insider) and you know the number has done nothing but rocket up since then. Cool. Experiments in Speed.

Stampede is a reusable stamp that allows you to turn your printed photographs into instant US Postmaster approved postcards. If you’re like most people, you have shoeboxes full of photos somewhere in your house. Maybe they are under your bed or in a closet. These boxes could be full of your own photos as a budding photographer, sentimental photos of you with your parents, children, and friends, or photos from your distant past. When's the last time you opened one of those shoeboxes?

If you take a look at them now, you'll probably smile and instantly remember the time when they were taken. Stampede is a movement. Everyone loves getting mail, especially sentimental photos that they can stick on their fridge. With Stampede you simply grab a printed photo and stamp the back with the STAMPEDE stamp. Many of us have converted our old printed photos into digital form and are left wondering what to do with those hard copy originals.

- StumbleUpon. Keyboard mixes drinks. World rejoices... Want to know what the word ‘badger’ tastes like? Obviously you do. Well, trust those boozy Russians to come up with a way of doing it. One particularly industrious crackpot has created a machine that is capable of making such dreams a reality. The person, called Morskoiboy, has linked a keyboard to a mess of clear tubes which lead to a series of flavoured syrups. A bottle of booze screws into the top, and away you go – type yourself a cocktail! “One day I had this funny idea, and I thought, ‘Well, there’s really nothing stopping me...’,” says Morskoiboy. Now it’s been invented, it’s hard to know how we’ll continue without one.
