USEFUL LINKS FOR DAILY JOBS
Sending a letter across the country is easy enough, but dispatching mail to overseas destinations is a little tougher. PostInfo comes in handy when you need to send mail to points around the globe. Here, find links to the official sites of postal services for most major countries, as well as Postal Code search tools and postage-rate calculators. PostInfo also features headlines about rate increases, special deals, and other postage-related news. Newman would love this one.
If your stereo and TV get ripped off, you'll be sorry you never wrote down their serial numbers. Property Room: StealitBack gives you one more reason to take the trouble to record your hi-fi's vital statistics: The site cooperates with police property rooms, and with a sister site where recovered property is put on the auction block. Register and enter the serial numbers of your stolen items. If they turn up in any of the listed property rooms, they'll be returned to you rather than auctioned off immediately. Sure, it's something of a crapshoot, but it's worth a try if it could keep your insurance premiums from soaring through the roof.
Do words like crampon or lemniscate send you running to the unabridged dictionary? Don't bother with that massive dusty tome. Instead, try searching at yourDictionary.com, a dictionary meta-site. Plug in your word and click "go" to look it up in the English dictionary or thesaurus, or choose from a huge selection of links to specialty dictionaries and foreign language dictionaries. You'll also find links to other tools such as thesauri, acronym dictionaries, and rhyming dictionaries here.
