Dunno if this will count but... 28th September 2006

This place is designed to tell people that you feel you might like - whether or not you have met them - cool places to go. I reckon this must count with places on the internet.

You know when you want to buy a new toy, a new phone, mp3/mp4 player, laptop, wallet, camera, gaming thingy - whatever. A chattel of wealth or status symbol or just cos you gotta have a new toy, dammit!

You look at it on the internet but you just don't know how big it is. Well, they give you the dimensions but since when did "75 x 88 x 194 mm" make sense?

This website, sizeasy.com (let them off for omitting an 'e'; I think they're american) lets you copy that line of dimensions and plug it into their little website. It produces a 3D box for you on screen. You can then compare this box with standard objects, a pack of cards, a Coke can , a piece of A4 (lots more) to get a feel for how big it is.

I used this the other day when buying a phone; it let me put up to 5 contenders' measurements in to compare. Its just really useful so I thought you might like to know about it.

Sorry its not a real place and you can't actually go there but you might like it.

there you go, now you're in the spirit of reviewing places! and yes, this is very useful, and it is a place (albeit a virtual one), so it definitely counts. soks, back me up here.

Also - I just re-read this. I thought the binary postcode gag was a good one. Sorry. Its clearly not. I am tired OK. Am off to Denmark so I hope to bring you back your first review from the land of bacon, beer and unamusing-but-apparently-highly-offensive cartoon publishing.

i think you may have inadvertently found a zip code somewhere in New York!
Am looking forward to some bacon reviews, and maybe some of individual Lego bricks.

This is indeed an interesting site, not sure if TrustedPlaces is the right place for it now, but it definately would be in the future. This is actually one strange zip code in New York, or else Google Map has gone a bit crazy
