tool roundup

found a great addon for firefox to let you capture dynamic media(sound,video,pics) that may be hard to find a direct download for. I used it to pull some sentence audio off iknow.co.jp a little while ago.

hiveminder.com - if the todo list in your brain would be like the terrible offspring of a perl script and a soap opera(or worse, if it would look like a freshly erased sheet of notebook paper) then hiveminder is worth checking out. It has a simple interface that hides its many features until you need them. It also interprets natural language between [] well enough for my needs.

wiktionary.org
- everyone knows about wikipedia.org, this is its compulsively thorough cousin. Need to make certain you haven't been misled on the meaning of 'the'? What about 'hey'? wiktionary is the place to go.

ubiquity for firefox - it's the cli of the future for the internet.
