Notables

Each week Im going to search and find some really neat sites or add ons or whatever else I happen to run across. Content will vary but they will all be worth viewing. So grab your coffee and whatever else you need to relax and surf for a bit!

This weeks notable places are:

Thanksgiving Countdown: For those of us in the States Thanksgiving is coming way too quickly. I found this checklist (which some isnt going to work now since we are so close but some will) So you arent going to freak out over all the preparations the day before.

ShutterCal: This is perfect for people who are interested in the Project 365. Upload your pictures daily, put them in this nifty calendar and you can later print them out. Order your little shoe box and its custom made to hold a years worth of pictures. Pictures come with dates, captions & with or without borders. Definitely a must for any photo enthusiast.

Feedly: An add on for firefox. This add on turns your favorite sites into a magazine like view. It includes your blog feeds. The best part about this it loads a tiny toolbar on the side of your screen that allows you to instantly share a website with your friends on facebook, your followers on twitter, sharing on google reader, save in google reader, or emailing. This is definitely a must for anyone who uses any of these things.

Kaboodle: While this isnt something new for me and maybe some of you, this site has now captured me. You will need to register (dont worry its free). You can download the toolbar (it puts a K beside your Homepage Button at the top of your browser). Any website you go to for shopping you can right click and choose "Save To Kaboodle" it automatically takes you to their site which you can fill in details for that product. Including how high it is on your priority list, which "wishlist" you want it to be added into and so forth. After submitting it will take you right back to the original site you were on. Pure perfection. It also includes a weekly grocery shopping list! Another must have.
