cool new (to me anyway) google feature: google calculator. nothing very complicated but handy because, well, because google is always to hand really.

i thought the units were a bit limited to begin with but i’ve changed my mind. so long as you don’t ask it to do wonkily dimensioned calculations it seems to manage everything i throw at it: the speed of light in furlongs per fortnight, converts stones into kilograms and plenty more. (i can’t get it to do anything with firkins yet though.)

a very neat idea to integrate this kind of thing into google.
