For privacy and security reasons (some of my clients do not allow the storage of bookmarks in 3rd-party clouds), I made a little “read it later”-like Firefox add-on. It provides a place where you can temporarily store links for later review, but it keeps everything offline – no hidden metrics, no profiling. Sometimes less is more.

It’s open source now and you can get it here.

Research on active touch has a longer history than usually assumed. My article about it is now available as a “sample” of the APA History of Psychology Journal. Grab it while it’s free! [updated link to pdf for personal, non-commercial use]
