I heart...new to me techie things!

I am in love with two tech things right now! The first is "readability." I was introduced to this by David Pogue in his great ideas of 2009 article. This is great! When you really want to focus on content on a website, you click this little button on your broswer bar and next thing you know, you are looking at an "e-reader" version of the page! The article is translated into a nice white background with a lovely grey/black sans serif font. They have a few different "views" you can choose from, this is the one I liked. Here's the link if you're interested in checking it out: http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/

The second thing that I absolutely love is "Adium." Found out about this little gem of an im client aggregator from LifeHacker's blog. I have been looking for a way to put all of my im conversations in one program so that I'm not (1) logging into every darn one each time because my friends cannot all agree to use on free email service (or skype...who isn't using skype yet?!) and (2) it's just cleaner. You don't have so much crap crudding up your screen and RAM. Bonus! It pulls in Facebook chat too! Here's a link to download Adium (pronounced Stadium). http://adium.im/
