Do you use IM while browsing the web?

Chances are you do. This includes anything from using Facebook Chat, Google Chat, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, etc.

I'm sure you also hate having to click back into the 'chat' window in order to keep talking to your friend. This awesome little utility called 'KatMouse' lets you keep typing while scrolling through web pages. Basically, any* window you hover your mouse over will allow you to scroll up and down the page with the mouse wheel without having to actually CLICK on the page. This lets you keep typing away while browsing without having to click back and forth over and over each time your friend(s) respond.

Thanks David for this great recommendation!

Hang pictures (and other decorations) quickly, easily, and LEVEL

Just read about this nifty little product on Lifehacker and I have to say, for only being $13.87 on amazon, it seems like a good buy. Not only will it save you time trying to figure out where to mark the holes for nails/screws/etc, but it helps ensure that every picture you hang is level!

Normally it requires measurements, 'eyeing' it, and/or using a level, all of which together takes up too much tedious time, especially when you're wanting to do a lot of decorating (if you recently moved for example).

Take a look at the link below!
