Google Maps are dynamic, interactive maps that you can drag — no clicking and waiting each time you want to view the adjacent parts of a map. Type in the name of a region or neighborhood and see any part of it as easily as with a regular street map. Use your mouse or the directional arrows to pan left, right, up and down to see areas that are hidden offscreen. Use the slider to zoom in and zoom out or press the + or – keys. You can also use satellite view, which gives you access to satellite and aerial images that you can zoom in, zoom out, or pan in any direction. You can create personalized, annotated, customized maps, complete with placemarks, lines or shapes. Add additional content including rich text, photos, videos and then share your map with others or open it in Google Earth.

Yellow5 wrote a unobtrusive, lightweight javascript datepicker for us. It is so small that you can use it on your pda, but the functionality is just about right. There are also a few advantages to using DateChooser over other javascript datepickers according to Yellow5:
- The HTML for the calendar is standards-compliant.
- The calendar appears in the same window as the input field(s). It doesn’t annoyingly pop up in a new window.
- It has no hard-coded styles; apply your own .css file to customize DateChooser’s appearance.
- Return values are flexible, using patterns borrowed from PHP’s date() function.
- It doesn’t pollute the global namespace.
- It uses unobtrusive, warning/error-free javascript.
Requirements: Internet Explorer 5+, Firefox 1.0+, Opera 8+, Safari
