Convert Currencies With Google

A QUICK HACK I've been using this week: Google's currency conversion feature. Simply type "convert 300 pounds to dollars" into Google's search box and you get the conversion ($523,95 btw ... boy the buck's weak). Works for nearly every currency you can think of.

Google Mobile Website Formatter

THIS SITE IS A GODSEND. Courtesy Google, it formats any website to be quickly viewed on a mobile phone / PDA web browser. It's now the homepage on my Treo, which can now load the CNN home page in about five seconds. Wonderful.

TypePad Search Hack

I just added a search function (based on Google) to the blog, using this great little hack from Everything TypePad (and which comes, oddly enough, from a blog I read: PVRblog). Kudos all 'round.
