Finds of the Week (December 11, 2011)

Finds of the week is a variety of web sites that I've stumbled over recently that are fun, interesting, or useful.

The 45 Most Powerful Images Of 2011
Sometimes there are no words. This is one of those times. (Thanks for the link Mr. G.)

Most Interesting Facts ".....the most interesting facts around the world. Interesting facts about animals, technology, lifestyle, human, transportation and other things". The descriptions are brief and informative, perfect if you want to browse several topics. =)

How To Back Up Firefox With MozBackup
MozBackup has been around a long time, and while it's fairly easy to use anyone new to the program can use this step by step article.
MozBackup will also back up Mozilla Thunderbird and PostBox. I like the Firefox add-on FEBE for backing up Firefox and MozBackup for Thunderbird and Postbox.

Convert Webpages To Better Reading View With Readability
I've mentioned Readability before and I thought this would be good time to revisit it. Its description "...turns virtually any web page into a clean, comfortable reading view" is good but doesn't have the impact that seeing it in action has. That's where this article comes in - it's an excellent overview.
If you want to give Readability a try it works with IE, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Android, iPhone, and iPad. There are also bookmarklets if you don't want to install an add-on. You can create an account to access your articles from everywhere, or just use the bookmarklet that's installed for your browser or mobile. There are two versions of Readability, Free and Premium. You can compare them here. I've always used the free version.

Sort Image Collection By Resolution Using Dimensions 2 Folders
If you need to sort photographs or images by resolution this free utility is a gem. It's saved me a lot of time and effort. The application is easy to use - this article outlines step by step how to use the program.

Have fun,
