BlockSite: Firefox Extension to Block Timewasters

Thought the below might be of interest to the 43 Folders crowd as as a timewaster-blocker.

I had an idea -- a Firefox extension that removed a site from your online existence. Attempts to directly access the site would be blocked, but, additionally, links to that site posted anywhere else would be rewritten merely to reflect the link text (removing the link text with the link would create ugly holes in whatever you were reading).

This wouldn't be great for parental blocking, but is great to eliminate time-wasting websites, or sites you just never want to stumble across again.

Mozilla Add-Ons.

Use in good health ...

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
