B J's Top 10 Tools as at 13 March 2008

del.icio.us - It's so easy to tag, organize, and share bookmarks using del.icio.us.

Firefox - I love the add-ons and customization that is possible with Firefox. (The Web Developer toolbar is my favorite.)

Dreamweaver - Great CSS support and file management; it's very easy to use.

Flash - With Flash, anything is possible. If only I could find the time to master ActionScript 3...

Notepad++ - A lean and mean code editor.

Google Reader - This is the best RSS reader I've found.

WordPress - What a great interface - it's so easy to use.

Captivate - An excellent product that has improved greatly over time.

Beyond Compare - A must-have tool that lets you compare multiple versions of a document.

Audacity - One of the best (free) audio tools out there.

del.icio.us - It's so easy to tag and organize bookmarks using del.icio.us, and I love that I can access them from anywhere.

Firefox - I love the add-ons and customization that is possible with Firefox. (The Web Developer toolbar is my favorite!)

Dreamweaver / Notepad++ - I'm on the fence right now between these two. Dreamweaver has better CSS support and file management, but Notepad++ is a great 'lean and mean' coding application.

Flash - With Flash, anything is possible.

Google Reader - his is the best RSS reader I've found.

WordPress - What a great interface - it's so easy to use..

Captivate - An excellent product, once you understand its idiosyncrasies.

Beyond Compare - A must-have tool that lets you compare multiple versions of a document.

Audacity - One of the best (free) audio tools out there.

Winamp - Call me old school, but this is still my go-to application for listening to music while I work.
