The UK’s excellent online route-planning site for pedestrians has just expanded its service to include interactive walking maps for Leeds Derby, Glasgow and Aberdeen. Type in any two points in the cities it covers to get a walking route map and journey time between them. Each route also includes an estimate of the number of calories the walker will burn, and the amount of carbon saved by not travelling by taxi, car or bus.

Yahoo’s webmail service has just launched new ymail addresses. If you’re currently saddled with a cumbersome email address with lots of surplus dots and numbers you may find you can get yourname@ymail.com address if you sign up quickly.
The front page does say that current yahoomail account holders may switch to a ymail address, but doesn’t explain how to do so. I’m waiting to hear back from Yahoo, and will post instructions here when I get them.
