My Home About Me

Firefox extensions I'm trying out:

• Cooliris Previews - Hover over a link and it shows you a preview of the page. Also you can right-click a word and it can show you results from TheFreeDictionary, Google Images, and Wikipedia.
• Firefox Showcase - Sidebar that shows you thumbnails of all open tabs (á la Powerpoint). If you've got a lot of tabs open, it's often easier to scan the thumbnails than the tab names.
• FlashGot + FlashGet - Evidently, download managers speed up downloads by breaking them up into smaller chunks and downloading them simultaneously. Or something like that.
• GooglePreview - Puts thumbnails beside Google search results.

(Other extensions I have installed: del.icio.us, Firebug, StumbleUpon, Tab Mix Plus, and Web Developer).

On a different note, I'm giving the inexpensive Logitech TrackMan Wheel a spin:

I've tried a few different ergonomic input devices: a Kinesis keyboard (a keeper, though no silver bullet), an Evoluent Vertical Mouse 2 (gives me forearm pain), a pricey Kensington Expert Mouse (gives me other sorts of aches). The humble Logitech TrackMan Wheel feels very natural and comfortable. But it's only been one day.
