Ever try to figure a formula out only to fat-finger the keys on the calculator and have to start over? If you're like me, you and your calculator are seldom in the same space-time continuum, let alone the same room. Or, you have your calculator, but you can't remember the flippin' formula to punch into it to get the answer you need?

That's why I made these widgets. Now I don't have to remember the formula or find my calculator. I always know where my 'pooter is. Hey! Now that I finally got this page online all I have to do is remember the URL and I can use any 'pooter to do this. Cool!

These cover a wide variety of subjects. Mostly I made them because I'm lazy. After spending an hour trying to figure out how to get an answer it may be 6 months before I need to do it again. This way I don't have to remember, I just plug the numbers in the right spot in the spreadsheet and Víolá, instant answer.

Anyway, here they are. Hopefully one or more can help you out. All results guaranteed accurate within 12 powers of 10, plus or minus 3 million or so. In other words, these will give you a good ballpark answer, but don't stake your life, your wife, or your money on the answer you get, 'kay?

• curie calculator - convert between rad units
• decay calculator - determine radioactive activity, original activity, T1/2, or elapsed time
• byte calculator - how many bytes is a megabyte?
• blade grind calculator - how big a hollow grind will I get with this wheel diameter?

And for those of you who were ever patient, here's the online version of

Bimjo's Grind Height Widget

Based on the calculations of Rob Frink of Beaumont Metalworks, he did the hard part -- the math! All measures are in inches.

I bribed Suzanne from Zero Cattle and she did the actual Javascript to make this puppy work. Drop her a line & let her know how much you appreciate her efforts. She's a damn good web designer too!

Feel the need to communicate with His Grand & Exalted Bimjoness hisself?? Well, here's where ya do it! Don't be shy. If you have something you'd like to see here, just let me know and I'll see what I can do about getting it on here.
