Boy, howdy, I wish I had time to update this thing and really develop the ideas that I write about. But I don't! So instead, I hope these blurbs will give you a jumping-off point to discuss different ideas that I can't. I'll bring the genius, you bring the hardwork!

Firefox Add-ons - Currently on my work laptop being turned in

AdBlock Plus
*One of my favorites. I really dislike looking at ads online.

BetterPrivacy
*Pretty cool in that it can delete Java cookies.

Errorzilla Plus
*Great tool for when you go to an invalid page, you get options to see the Google cahe, Wayback machine, etc.

FastestFox
*One of my favorites. This Add-on will create a little floating box when you highlight text so you can quickly Google it, etc.

Ghostery
*Helps me opt out of 3rd party cookies and analytics.

SkipScren
*I used to watch a lot of TV shows off tv-links and such sites. This was useful for skipping the splash screens, etc. Also works for rapidshare, et al.

TACO 3.0 with Abine
*Another layer of personal info protection.

TooManyTabs
*Creates a 2nd row of tabs (that you can hide) to keep short term reading, etc. accessable without hogging memory.

WiseStamp
*Useful signature creator

WOT
*"Web of Trust" alerts you as you go to a scammy website.

Xmarks
*One of my favorites. Useful for syncing your bookmarks across multiple computers/platforms.
