I’m always drawn to reviews of the best places to live (probably because I know where I currently live is not on my top 100). Money recently published a top 100 list, but unlike any previous list I’ve seen before, Money took the time to map them on a Google map. Nice use of technology. I’d much prefer to see the list that way, than to scroll through the list of 100 to see which ones I want to read about. There are some parts of the country I’m less likely to visit or move to than others, so with the map I can look for my preferred areas.

See the map at Money’s web site.

I love using Gmail and Google Calendar. The only problem I’ve had with Google Calendar, is that I forgot to check it, and then forget something I scheduled. Here is a greasemonkey script, and a tutorial for setting it up, that places your Google Calendar agenda on your GMail in the left hand side. Fantastic idea, and now makes it much more likely I’ll not forget my scheduled events, since I’ll see them all day long.

See the tutorial.
