Just a quickie… E.ggtimer.com is a very simple site that does one thing: it lets you make timers with alarms quickly and easily.

You can start a timer from the homepage, but the real beauty is that you can just type the time into the address in a very simple, intuitive fashion. Here are some examples:

• http://e.ggtimer.com/15minutes
• http://e.ggtimer.com/1hour30minutes15seconds
• http://e.ggtimer.com/2years10months
• http://e.ggtimer.com/30 (defaults to seconds)

I use this site at least a few times a week. Whenever I have to do laundry or I’m cooking some food in the toaster oven, I just pop open a new tab and set a timer.
