...riverfront and such historic landmarks as the Stone Arch Bridge and the Mill City Museum can take a lot of time and shoe leather. But Bill and Emily Neuenschwander's tours can guide you through much of the city's history quickly, with a nod to the future: the mode of transportation is the Segway Human Transporter. The Neuenschwanders started offering tours via the scooter-like device this spring as a sideline to their computer-consulting business. Now they have a fleet of 21 Segways and are attracting 150 customers a week, who pay $69.95 for the three-hour tour...

...friend, you'll get a message sharing that person's coordinates. You can also use Dodgeball to broadcast messages to all your buddies or just the ones in your area and to look up the street addresses of hard-to-find bars and restaurants. There's a "listening" mode in case you want to find out who's around but stay undercover. Phones that can send text messages to e-mail addresses should be compatible, but older phones may be glitchy. How handy the service is depends on how many people use it. The real friendship test is persuading your...
