About me
An active blogger and net-head since the late 90's, I'm always looking for new and exciting ways to make my world more efficient, exciting and robust.
Why I use Clipmarks
Usually I have so many tabs I have open in Firefox that I get a little overwhelmed. I figured Clipmarks would be a great place to store those things I find interesting (and I could close my tabs and be free of some anxiety). Clipmarks is a great place to save important sites, and discover new ones.

by DarrenTooCool  1-14-2008   
 iTunes Sync (freeware) will detect your your mobile device connected to your PC, and make iTunes treat i just like an iPod. Of course, your device has to show up as a hard drive or media storage for this to work, but most will. Be sure to explore the rest of the site, especially if you use more than one monitor! http://www.binaryfortress.com/
