Greenspun stuff to checkout

Philip Greenspun's Weblog:

  • http://www.googleguide.com/advanced_operators_reference.html and http://www.googleguide.com/help/calculator.html
    [jf: these are really superb!]
  • http://www.nw.com/nw/projects/cubatron/
  • http://www.dataplace.org/
  • ...
  • * http://mappoint.msn.com/directionsfind.aspx (select the "LineDrive" format and watch in awe as Microsoft draws you a schematic map to your destination, with the uninteresting long freeway sections compressed and the complex local neighborhood sections in detail, all black and white for easy printing, proof that not everything interesting is happening at Google)
