Customized Tools – Firefox Plugins
One of the great things about technology is the ability to customize the tools we use every day. Small, lightwieght laptops for traveling, robust quad-core systems for gaming and engineering work, multiple smartphones of wonderfullly variety to choose from… we have great options to choose from when looking for the right computing experience. Luckily the same is true in most areas of technology. One of them being the killer app of the decade: the web browser.

Read MoreAndroid, Gmail, and Thunderbird
With the knowledge that I’ll be moving to the T-Mobile G1 in the near future, I started thinking about my contact list. Yeah, the one I have in Outlook that I sync to my current Windows Mobile phone. But wait, there’s no sync client for Android phones. However, in the case of the T-Mobile G1, it will sync it’s contact list with my Gmail Contacts over the 3G connection.

Read MoreSBSH Pocket Weather
So I’ve been using SBSH’s Pocket Weather (PW) for about a year and a half now – from way before SBSH picked up the product and its creator Adrian Oliver. While I’ve always been fond of the app, it has recently been even more useful then ever. From its roots as a simple app that grabs the current conditions and forecast off the ‘net, to the current version that is highly configurable with custom radar & satellite maps, animated maps, and large number of locations to configure. The community has embraced it as well with numerous skins, themes, icons,...
Read MoreWordPress Spell Checker?
Is there a good spell check plug-in for WordPress? I’ve been looking for one, but have only run across two – one of which states that it “doesn’t play well with WordPress 2″. Does anyone know of a good spell checker for WordPress? If I was any good at programing, I’d try my hand at creating one as it seems that there is a shortage of them!
