Google Tip
I am a huge Google fan. One of the fun little tricks I've been using lately is weather search. Since I often need to know the weather before I head out on a trip, I'll use Google search to do that.
Type the keyword weather into Google Search, followed by the name of the city or zip code. Sometimes it seems to need the U.S. state code as well and occasionally I enter a place that it doesn't know, but most of the time it is spot on and so quick.
I'm heading to Key West this weekend on my way for some work in Jamaica next week, so I typed:
weather "key west, fl"
Google should show the weather for the next 4 days at the top of the page. There are quite a few little gems like this on Google if you know about them, including calculator, spell check and movie listings.

Yep -- I never call up my own calculator, since if you know what you're doing with Google Calculator syntax it's way more powerful than the traditional add/subtract/multiply/divide ones that come with most computers.
Someday Google will take over the world. And, unlike Microsoft, nobody will mind.
