Here is a list of products that I discovered in 2004. These are products that I use everyday, both at work and at home. Quite simply, I would not be able to live without them. Literally. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Bloglines<\/a> — RSS reader<\/p>\n

Bloglines changed how I read news. Bloglines changed how I browse the internet. Bloglines gave me what I had always wanted: control of the internet. I read what I want, when I want. I don’t miss anything. There are so many RSS feeds out there (I even have several of my own on this domain — click on the xml image), that you can pretty much get what you want. I have 93 different feeds (and the list is growing). I read blogs. I read news. Bloglines is great. Not a day passes by without using it.<\/p>\n

Firefox<\/a> — browser<\/p>\n

Like I said before, I had watched Mozilla struggle with their browser for years. Well, in 2004 they finally delivered a browser that is a lot better than Internet Explorer. I use Firefox all the time now. On a rare occasion, I am still required to use IE, but that’s once or twice a week. Firefox brought back the fun to my browsing experience.<\/p>\n

Thunderbird<\/a> — mail program<\/p>\n

What is Thunderbird, you might ask. To me, it is a replacement of Microsoft Outlook. It is a mail client. It is sleek. It is fast. It is customizable. It has good IMAP support. I can’t live without it and I am very happy that I got off Outlook. Did I say how much it costs? Free.<\/p>\n

Milenix MyInfo 2.6<\/a> — note-taking tool<\/p>\n

What is MyInfo? I know you’re asking yourself that. I know, I know. Because not a lot of people use it. To me, though, MyInfo is like a notebook that I take with me everywhere I go. It is a note taking tool. I put all of my notes, goals, personal stuff, reference info, and more into it. It is a very small program but it’s very useful.<\/p>\n

There you go, the list is short but I don’t use a lot of products on a daily basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
