TerraFly This is so cool. You put in your address or your zip code and you get an aerial view of the site. You can zoom in and actually see the location you entered. (I saw my house!) Go to http://www.terrafly.com.

Babel Fish This site is from Altavista. You enter text (up to 150 words) or enter a Web page and it translates it from one language to another. Languages on the site are Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, Korean, Portugese and Russian. I am not a language teacher so I don't know if the syntax is correct, but it is a very slick tool. Check it out at http://babelfish.altavista.com/translate.dyn .
