Easystreet – Make your own street sign

Easystreet is a nifty little site where you can enter any text you like and it will create a street sign for you which you can download. You can make them in three different sizes, but even the largest is not very big – it would be good to be able to download a picture that would be printable at A4 size without pixelating.

The fonts are free to use for non-commercial use.

Where the Hell is Matt?

Not educational (maybe for geography?) but begs the question - why can't I get a job like this?

SHIFD – take your sticky notes with you

SHIFD is a great site for those who, like me, write themselves sticky notes everywhere to remember things. With SHIFD, you can type or post notes using the Internet, a program on your desktop or even your mobile phone. They automatically synchronise so they will always be up to date.

On your desktop, you can have your notes sitting nicely organised in the SHIFD application like this:

or float them on the desktop like real sticky notes.

An alternative to SHIFD, for use on one computer, is the handy little program called Hottnotes, which lets you create sticky notes on your desktop. You can also download a portable version which you can use on a pen drive to take your notes with you.

Yet another search engine, but a quite cool one none the less, Widexplorer takes your search query and gives you a heap of different search engine results side-by-side. You can scroll along and see results from Google, Live.com, Yahoo! Answers, YouTube and Wikipedia, all in the one browser window.
