Loki is pretty nifty. Surprisingly, it doesn't use win2k, only XP sp 1 and greater, but there is a beta for both MSIE and Mozilla, and seems especially useful for laptop or mobile computer users. Lots of nifty local items to check out. It tries to workout where you are and then gives you various tools for doing stuff with that knowledge, including inserting geoTags to any form that takes an input. Unfortunately, Shopping links to already dead cairo.
Current Location
Busy day at work today - fund raiser and setup for the golf tourney will stretch our staff quite a bit. Going to be a skeleton crew. Got an abduction call out of Collier County last night.
