12/12/2003: Stuff That Doesn't Suck

Google Tracks Packages
from Google

Google continues to amaze me. They seem to introdue new features on a monthly basis. Not to mention that you can set the language prefrence to Swedish Chef, Klingon or Pig Latin. Google will now search for your UPS and FedEx packages, as well as a few other numbers:

  • UPS tracking numbers example search: "1Z9999W999999999"
  • FedEx tracking numbers example search: "fedex 999999999999"
  • Patent numbers example search: "patent 5123123"
  • FAA airplane registration numbers example search: "n199ua"
  • FCC equipment IDs example search: "fcc B4Z-34009-PIR"
Other Useful Features: Calculator, Definitions, PhoneBook, Stock Quotes, Street Maps, Travel Conditions, and Translations.
