Extra Greasey Monkey


If you’re not using Greasemonkey and Firefox, you should be! Well, maybe you shouldn’t be; but for a geek like me, it’s the coolest thing since CSS…

Greasemonkey is a plugin for Firefox that allows you to add your own scripts. For example, while del.icio.us is also an extremely cool site, I’ve always thought the site design was pretty basic. Greasemonkey allows me to install my own script that changes the CSS (layout, font, color, etc) for the site when I view it.

I found the script to do this on another awesome site called userscripts.org, which is nothing but user-submitted scripts. Ahhh… OpenSource, I love thee…

By the way, I’ve abandoned traditional bookmarking completely and have converted all my old bookmarks to del.icio.us. It’s a free service that allows you to “tag” a website and save it for later. You can explore others’ tags and you can even integrate your del.icio.us tags/bookmarks into your site (like I have… see the link above).

Ok, so I know that some of you are yawning right now, but you those of you who think MicroCenter is a toy store should definitely check these out!
