Hacks / Explorations

• GoogleSuggest UPS tracking hack. As reported in other places, Google Suggest can be used to track UPS packages of others. This page is my attempt at seeing how many such tracking numbers I could find. This could be a security hole, if UPS put images of recipients' signatures online.
• Google Maps generation hack. Google has entered into the map generation business, and their maps are very slick. Unfortunately, I'm not one of those who has the patience to print out maps to annotate them. In this "hack", I describe how I wrote a Perl script to generate arbitrary maps using Google's excellent service. Hopefully it won't be misused. :-)
• Google and MSN compared. OK, this is not a hack at all; I just put it in this section. This little article does a comparison of Microsoft's MSN Search with Google. Things like quality of search, size of results, features, etc. are compared.
