Firefox goes to school

August 22, 2007

With the start of school upon us (it’s actually already started where I am) there is a deluge of “back to school” specials, products, and events. Add to that list a browser! Mozilla has produced a “Campus Edition” of Firefox which bundles the popular browser with other applications like Zotero (a research and source-citing plugin), StumbleUpon (random, “I’m feeling lucky” site plugin) and FoxyTunes (allows you to control your media player from within Firefox).

Work Blinders

August 22, 2007

While the ability to focus is usually a good thing, like all good things, it can become a detriment if it’s overdone.  LifeDev tells us about “Work Tunnel-Vision” and how we can avoid it (hopefully).  Remember, all work and no play makes for a very dull geek!

Stop complaining!

August 22, 2007

Everybody can name at least one person who ALWAYS makes a point of complaining about something. Maybe YOU are the one with nothing positive to say. Regardless, there is help available. A post via Lifehacker tells us what we can do to become a more positive, easier-to-be-around person. Give it a try, even if you don’t feel better, the people around you probably will.
