I want my bookmarks at work to be the same as the ones at home and on my laptop. Generally you can synchronize these things with Yahoo! Toolbar or Google Toolbar.  But I hate toolbars. They are redundant.  They take up viewing space.  They cause redundancies.  They populate your screen with useless information.  And they tend to be redundant.  They waste system resources.  Did I mention redundancies?

Yet toolbars can bring value to the table in this: You can use them to sync bookmarks on one computer with another.

Well, today I found a way to sync bookmarks without a toolbar. It’s found at www.foxmarks.com.  It keeps the bookmarks on my laptop synced with those at my office.

Try it.  Just install the add-on in FireFox.  Use the wizard to get an account and upload your bookmarks.  Then the next time you install it on a different machine, your bookmarks will be there too.

Synchronized Bookmarks without a toolbar!  Love it.

Recently we were doing some work on a power connection on a laptop.  Reading about solder online, I found this great video from Curious Inventor.

Thanks, Curious Inventor!!!

Wendy shot me an email that I thought was worth posting.

I made a wonderful discovery yesterday. I accidentally deleted a photo on my camera that I needed for work. Last night I downloaded a program called recuva that was able to look at the card, find the photo and retrieve it. I only wish I had downloaded that program a long time ago…. I thought it might be a program you’d like to look at. It’s free. You can find it at www.recuva.com.
Cheers! Wendy

Thanks, Wendy!!!
