This is marginally on-topic, since It was created using perl and Date::Manip, and I like to share my nifty projectlets.
 
So there I was, going back and forth between www.realtor.com, and http://www.mbta.com/schedmaps/commuter-rail/index.cfm looking for houses within a reasonable commute of Boston, because I can't afford to live in town.
 
But wait!  Wouldn't it be better if I could just have a clickable map of the commuter rail that would tell me what the commute times are for any given town, and show available properties?  Well yes.  Yes it would.  And maybe I could choose to view all properties within, say a 15-30 minute commute?  Wow, that would be awesome.
 
So after lot's of perl parsing and reverse engineering, here it is:  http://www.joelman.com/commuterrail/
