Today’s featured tech tip….
Bookmark these super-handy online conversion tools
Do you ever have a need to convert one unit of measure to another?
For example, let’s say you drive across the border from America into Canada and all of a sudden the road signs are in kilometers instead of miles.
If you’re familiar with the metric system you can probably do a rough distance conversion in your head. But what if kilometers are as foreign to you as Martians?
Or what if you’re planning a safari vacation to Kenya and you need to know how many Kenyan Shillings you’ll need to cover your expenses while you’re there?
Truth be told, we’re always having to make some conversion or another it seems. And when we do we usually have to head over to Google and search for an applicable conversion tool.
Well here’s a little tip for you…
Just bookmark UnitConverters.net and you’ll always be just a click or two away from most any type of unit conversion tool that you might need.
About the only thing you won’t find there is a currency converter. But don’t worry, this simple tool from Forbes has you covered there too.
I recommend that you bookmark both of these handy tools so you’ll always have them at the ready when you need them.
