I Googled Wifi cancer to see if there had been any more findings on it, and found that my (probably custom) results were in a sequence of points and counter points against and for the notion. Weird right?

I’m pushing the beta launch of SimpleStats back to June 10^th, because I have two AS Biology exams on June 1^st, and I know full well that I’m going to be playing around with my site that night. Although I probably will be anyway.

That will also give me time to work on a new design, to make the entire of the account based pages use jQuery UI tabs to make them painfully fast, and the rebranding of the site to “SimpleStats.net” to make me feel less guilty about having the same name as some other various projects that might get angry at me.

I was planning to write this post when Wolfram|Alpha came out, but I didn’t get around to it.

Wolfram|Alpha is an audited knowledge base of information that can compute just about anything. I’ve compiled a list of examples below that don’t even show half of the possibilites of Wolfram|Alpha – but are pretty damn cool demos of the power that Wolfram|Alpha gives you.

• Comparing companies’ revenue
• Quickly find out hex colour codes
• See exactly how old you are
• Check the weather
• Work out VAT for something
• Get your maths geek on
• See how long and far it is from your current location to somewhere
• Compare any dimensions of totally random landmarks
• Get information about your body
• Get a food label rendered for just about anything
• Get information about a film

For the 10 unsuspecting people who do sign up for the SimpleStats beta, I’ve beefed up every page with an Ajaxy jQuery feedback form using BlockUI and some funky codez. EG: http://simplestats.net/, hit the feedback link in the bottom right.

As per some feedback from someone I know (does that count?) I’ve added a changelog. Coolio.
