Online Content Nom Nom
To my fellow readers. I know you love reading online content. You love it like the intangible, black-hole smack it is, so you need to use Readability from the labs at arc90 [thanks, Dave]. It is a bookmarklet [one of those things that you drag to your bookmark bar]. When you're at a website reading an awesome article about whatever, hit this bookmarklet. It'll remove all the ads. It'll save all the text of your article into a nice, legible format that's easy to read and free from distractions, instantly. Do it.
Another tool I recommend is Instapaper. Let's say you're reading some absorbing article about one man's search for the last opium den, but halfway through it you forgot that you're picking your friend up from the airport in 30 minutes and I-94 is always packed in the late afternoon and you hate traffic. Well, save the article to read later by using Instapaper. Create a free account and you can use Instapaper to automatically save any article you're reading in your account. Afterwards, you can go the Instapaper and find that article saved, just for you. You can even organize your saved articles in separate folders for "Weird Stuff," "Brain Expanders," and "Stuff I Need To Share." The best part? Instapaper stores your articles in text-only format so there are no ads and there are no pictures, just glorious text when you continue your journey through lines and lines of mind-blowing, crazy delicious print.
Read on, friends. Read on.
