So, I’m assuming that you all know about the Google calculator. Type something into google, such as 2 + 2 or even ((10 * 7) + 4) / 3 and it figures it out for you. This is even easier if you use the Google toolbar. It also does conversions, so you can say 50 f in c or 10 km in miles. Well, I was doing a pace conversion and wanted to be precise, so I figured it was worth a shot and entered 1 marathon in miles.
Pretty cool.

I'm Richard Stanford, a fit, happy runner. Of course, that wasn't always the case. Dip into the archives to follow my progress from couch potato to sub-four hour marathoner.
I also like to cook, write, code, and play with power tools...

Oh yeah! I love that thing. Use it all the time and even did the marathon thing. I use it all the time for converting temperature for some of your american folk!
Guess my response is sorta like saying I knew about it first huh? Well…I DID!

Ya learn something new every day, I suppose. I mean, I use Google all the time, but I never thought to try things like that!

Wow, I had no idea. I always google for conversion calculators, and here I could have just skipped a step. Damn that google! Too powerful! :)
