Via Lifehacker comes a link to a blogger talking about his "Backlogged Life". You know, those piles of information that you have been meaning to get to, but haven’t? It’s a scary thing to think about. Here’s my "backlogged" life: Read inbox & Unfilter emails : 450Filtered email (unread/total) : 61,600 / 62,500 (I’m not kidding)Unread RSS messages : 23,685 ( sic )Read work inBox emails : 523Voice-mail, home : 2Voice-mail, work : 3Unread Library books : 6Books in my nightstand : 23Unread magazines : 34Unfinished installed computer games : over 40 ( Comcast Games on Demands feeds this addiction)Unfinished, uninstalled, computer games : over 50 (and that’s after giving away a box full when we moved!)

Firefox Quick SearchesFrom: jiggle.anaze.us

There’s a cool liltle feature in Firefox that I’ve been using a lot lately. And that is using "Quicksearchs".

Came across this page showing all the various special kinds of actions you can do in the Google search box you can do with Google. This includes stuff like currency conversion, math equations, file types and music searches. I knew you could do most of these, but I was looking for a spot where it was all spelled out. Well, here it is! Google Help : Search Features ...
