Did you ever need an online ruler while you were sitting in front of your computer? _now you can come to this page and use this website to measure things. Please pass it on to your friends.

Sounds pretty pointless to me when there's free software out there that does a better job.

I'm sorry, but this is the best site evar. It appeals to me on levels. LEVELS, JERRY!

I lose my tape measures all of the time, but I've never lost my powerbook. It's just a shame my screen isn't wider for when I'm working with drywall.

I use the Screen Calipers which is also for the PC. Totally different approach but I think it works a lot better than a ruler.

You can get it here, and it's skinnable so you can also use a ruler skin on it. Very cool stuff.
