Philipp Lenssen is giving away copies of his book "55 Ways to Have Fun With Google". I've been paging through it the last few minutes and there are some interesting things that can be done with Google.
The book has a good mix of fun stuff to do with Google and some history of search engines mixed in. The section on Egogoogling is hilarious. Type "<your first name> is" into Google Search and it will usually bring up a page with something interesting to say. My first name, Scott has an interesting first search result: ScottIsInnocent.com. While I'm definitely not in support of this cause, I'm sure my wife will finally understand that I can do no wrong (hahaha).
There is also a section on how much time Google saves us. Tasks like opening a coconut are much faster with Google. What can Google not help us with?
The book has sections about Google Sketchup and Google Maps Mashups.
The book has some interesting material, definitely some fun stuff to show people at the office.
