I’ve been so torn lately. I’ve been a die hard Firefox supporter since it began. Unfortunately, lately on my Mac, the particular mix of extensions that I think I must have, cause enough CPU use to have the laptop’s fans spin up to jet engine level. About the time the noise and heat became too much for me, the Safari 4 beta was released. So here I am, for weeks, loving the performance and features of the new Safari, especially history interaction and Chrome-esque tabs. But, several times a day, I find myself missing my extensions. I can’t count the number of times I’ve searched for an extension that would allow me to profile the source of my CPU woes. I suppose I should stop being lazy and do a thorough step-through, turning on individual extensions. It’s just with 41 extensions, that’s a painstaking task. I often revisit this issue and would love to hear any suggestions.

Pocket-worthy Thumb Drives
I have a slew of thumb drives/flash keys that I tend to misplace. I misplace them because I’m a bit too anal about my gear. I don’t go to the extreme of carrying a felt bag for my sunglasses, but I do get a bit perturbed if I think the contents of my pockets may scratch one another. So, thumb drives only have the briefest of travels near my keychain. They never go in the other pocket with the phone. Anyway, these exact thoughts went through my head earlier today when I happened upon a gifted thumb drive I’d been protecting (and not carrying). So, imagine my surprise when I saw this at Lifehacker. Amazingly I hadn’t seen it at TUAW yet, which tends to be on my daily read list. Very tempting.
