I saw a Twitter tweet by Drape who was looking for free Clip Art of a light bulb. I had been meaning to post about a few Free Photo clip art resources, but never did. His Tweet nudged me to go ahead.

Now, each of these has restrictions of some sort (non-commercial, attribution, etc.), so be sure to read closely.

I think this is one powerful video.

Even if you are not religious, we can all take something away from this clip that can change our lives. Larry has ALS, and he wants to tell you something he's learned about his life.

Seriously, if you are not moved to tears by the last part, you might want to have someone check your pulse.

If you are religious, you might like to know this is from the LifeChurch.tv sermon series "30 Days To Live." It asks the question: How Would You Live You Life if You Had 30 Days To Live?

All of the sermons are online, and they even have a website dedicated to this series.

Most of us have more than 30 days, shouldn't we start living now?

I mentioned this on Eric's site, but I thought it was worth a post.

One of my favorite add-ons for IE and Firefox was Onfolio. With it, I could snag and save bits of web pages that were interesting, or that I didn't have time to read (but would later). When Onfolio was purchased by Microsoft, things changed.

Out went the Firefox support, the Academic version was killed and to use Onfolio, you had to install the Microsoft search toolbar. No thanks.

Then I read about Clipmarks somewhere online. It looked cool, so I installed the Firefox extension, got busy, and never bothered to create a login. Then I saw that Clipmarks was able to post to VOX, and I created my account right away.

As you can see, I have been using it A LOT ever since. The best use, for me, is to "Clip" things I find intersting every day (check my Clipmarks page).

Usually, I have nearly 30 tabs open in Firefox. That is TOO MANY and it bogs down my computer. But, I keep them open because there are usualy one or 2 things on a website that I think is important. I keep the page open so I will remember to go back to it. Only I don't. I always THINK I will, but I never do. So, by "clipping" that certain item on a web page, and posting it, I am actually MORE productive.

* My PC runs smoother due to less open tabs
* I have no anxiety about all my un-read tabs that I have something I need to read
* All those items are organized by tag and subject on Clipmarks
* I can blog anything I clip, and share it with you fine folks 

What I like about it, even more than Onfolio, is that I can share what I find interesting. Now, I am not much for participating in Social News networks (thought I read Digg daily I don't contribute - more on that another day). But Clipmarks makes it a breeze. Not only can I blog to Vox, but I can share my "Clips" with the Clipmarks community. Sometimes, people even like the things I add!

So there ya go, that's why I dig Clipmarks. If you clip, add me to your list of Clippers!
