Well, I don't normally post personal stuff here, but this is pretty funny. I sent these pictures of my dog Thor and his cat, Modi, to a friend of mine who works at a TV station. Yes. My dog has his own web site. Now he's a TV star.

In some talk somewhere I heard John Bransford use a "stone age" metaphor in some talk. I can't quite remember the context, but the idea (that I remember) was that it's often helpful to come up with the simplest possible way to do something. Here I argue that what we need are not more sophisticated computers and applications, but more ubiquitous access to computers and applications.

Flashblock

I love this. All those annoying Flash movies (most of which are ads) are replaced by a button that you have to click to make them play.

adblock

Removes ads from pages that you tell it to.

filterset updater

Let's someone else tell adblock what to block so that you don't have to. Once or twice it's blocked things in a confusing way.

web developer

If you do anything with web development ever, you should check this out.

viewSourcewith

Let's me edit textarea's with my favorite editor.

linkification

Makes things that should be clickable, clickable.

fasterfox

This seems cool. If nothing else, it tells you how long it takes each page to load.

customize google

I think this is good. I'm not quite sure what it does anymore. I think it's what lets Google searches guess what it is you want to search for. That's cool.

reveal

Not so sure about this one. It will let you, for instance, enlarge part of a page. Probably not a must-have

firefox showcase

This is sorta cool. It's sorta like that Mac OS X thing that shows you a thumbnail of each window. This shows you a thumbnail of each tab you have open.

Google Notebook

I'm still not entirely sure about whether I'm going to like this, but it looks pretty cool.
