My firefox extention of the week is Scrapbook. It allows you to make local copies of web pages, sections of web pages, and keep them locally. This is nice for fast access when you aren’t online. The other neat feature is you can annotate those local copies with notes to yourself. It has a few other features, but those are the two I’ve used the most.

James Coates wrote about Scrapbook in his column last weekend. Its the only useful bit of information I’ve ever gotten from the column. As my friend said when I brought this up to him, “Coates’ column is like a car wreck, you can’t help but stare at it even though you don’t really want to.”
