Find out what your IP address is.  Note that any service with access to your IP address also knows where you are.

Use a ping tool to find out how long it takes to get to a particular server.  Try google, garfieldcs.com?  Note that this tool sends the ping from the network-tools.com server, NOT from your machine.  Compare with a ping from the command line.

Use a visual traceroute tool to find out the physical path information takes to get to you from a particular website.  Interesting searches might include bbc.co.uk gicp.org.gh gcaa.com.gh (the last two sites are Ghanaian sites.  Where are they hosted?  Why?)

Do a whois lookup to find out who, if anyone, owns a particular address.  Try your name?

Take a look at what information websites have about you — they definitely know where you are and may be able to infer your age, gender, etc.
