Techno Lovers Rejoice

I was recently shown one of the coolest pieces of electronics that have seen in a long time. What I speak of is a full computer, capable of running WinXP, 20GB hardrive, 256MB RAM, USB, Firewire, etc all in a package only slightly bigger than large PDA. It is really a thing of beauty. It is like 14 ounces. It has a styles that makes this thing act like a tablet PC, as well as having a QWERTY thumb keyboard. Just look at this thing.

a technology find for the weekend

Ok, first of all, I don’t know what browser each of you is using, but I do know you should be using Firefox. Clicking on that link will take you to a page describing all of its wonderful features, so I am not going to go into that here. I will say though that, while I initially thought that a lot of these features (tabs for instance) were not going to be of much use, they have since become absolutley necessary. I can no longer use IE, it is just to frustrating now. Anyway, give it a try. You will thank me for it.

And now for the real part of this post, an extension I found for Firefox that makes working with CSS so much easier. You can get it here. It opens a sidebar that contains the CSS code for the open page in the main browser window. You can then edit that code and it updates in real time. Those of you who have spent hours getting CSS formatting just right will know how useful this is. I like it.
