Thanks to Bali online for the calculation routines, although their world database is not very comprehensive.
A better place to search for lattitude/longitude information is AstroDienst which has over 250,000 towns and cities, but the co-ordinates are not extremely accurate (just degrees and minutes, but no seconds, so accurate to about 1 mile).

Traffic, Weather and the sky:
- Traffic flow & congestion on the Bay Area highways
  although Google Maps has a "traffic" button to see this for select cities.
- Heavens Above site, for sky charts, sunrise, sunset, locating planets, etc, tracking Hubble (HST), the international space station (ISS), and other space objects, also enabling you to see satellites when their solar panels reflect the sun back to Earth. The Iridium satellites are very good, and often very bright. A must see!

Radio:
I listen to (ordered in my current preference)...
1. KLLC 97.3 "Alice" - Hot AC
2. KMVQ 99.7 "Now" - Top 40 (CHR)
3. KRBQ102.1 "Beat of the Bay" - Rhythmic Hot AC
4. KIOI 101.3 "Star" - Hot AC
  AT40 played Sunday 8am → noon
5. KBAY 94.5 "K Bay" - AC
6. KMEL106.1 "K Mel" - Urban Comtemporary
But I'm not enjoying what's on, I'll "hop" between stations, such as when an ad comes on, or there is too much irrelevant talking.
