Disposable GMail addresses
GMail supports creating unlimited number of email addresses from a single account - if your gmail is "someone@gmail.com" then all the emails sent to "someone+something@gmail.com" will also go into your inbox.
The advantage is that you can filter the emails based on the "to" field. So the next time you register at some site just enter a disposable address, and if it turns out to be spam - just filter it out!
Getting word definitions with Google
Every time you do a search in Google, all the keywords appear on top of the results, on the right side of the screen. Note that they are all underlined.
If you click any of these - you'll get to the definition of the word answers.com!
Microwaving bread
If you keep your bread in a freezer (which is a good idea if you want to keep it fresh), and defrost it in a microwave - try wrapping it in a paper towels.
I have no idea why, but the bread microwaved this way doesn't have this familiar microwave texture, and is much closer to the real fresh bread.
Also works for pizza and cakes.
Creativity boost with image search
Image searching tools - such as Google Images or Flickr - are great tools for getting your creative process going. Just enter some related term in the search field to get the related images on the screen. Browsing through the images will bring up various associations to your mind, which may help you getting on the right track.
