It’s a poster, it’s a t-shirt, it’s…

Someone once told me that if I put this on a t-shirt, they would wear it. So I’m thinking of submitting this to Threadless.com (slightly altered for the medium, of course). Click for larger image.

Won’t you be?

Discovered a handy Firefox feature

If you’re at all like me, you’ve constantly got three or four windows open in Firefox, each window containing 10-15 tabs. As you bounce around from tab to tab, window to window, did you ever come upon a tab with a page that’s just mind-blowing, and you want to tweet or post about it, but you can’t give proper credit because you can’t remember how you got there? This happens to me all of the time. I just recently wished out loud on Twitter for a feature or plugin to help me with this problem. And then I discovered that the feature is already there.

If you go to the Tools menu in Firefox, and then select Page Info, this will bring up a surprisingly informative pallet. Not only can you see what the referring page is, but you can see (and save!) images contained in the page, see any RSS feeds available on that page, determine permissions for that domain, check out cookies associated with that page, and more.

Perhaps I’m the only one who has never noticed this remarkably versatile tool, but I have a feeling I’m not. Oh, and that Twitter URL in there is for real.
