I've made a simple little Flash gadget to calculate the golden ration (phi) from a given number.
So, if you're doing a design and want a "divine" layout, try setting it out in proportions calculated with Phiculator!
Feedback welcome...

Hey, thanks everyone!
Any suggestions / improvements? I was thinking of adding a number "splitter", so, you input a number, and it divides it into two parts, according to the ratio...
Any others? Or other calculations? I was thinking of doing something like, the Tschichold book design / page layout ratio:

what's wrong with a regular calculator? It's not a comlex sum to do.
