So, this week I have a few tasty techie delights to please your palate.
The first is Google's AROUND.

A good example of how to use AROUND is given in one of the comments to the posting: If you were looking for [Paul "the dude" SMITH] (we're using Google's convention for delimiting search terms with square brackets) but you didn't know his alias you could search [paul AROUND(3) smith].
