Remember that awesome website called Poladroid that I became a little obsessed with for its ability to produce such realistic online Polaroid pics?

If you're having a New Year's Eve party tonight and will have a computer monitor in view, then download this free 3D New Year's Countdown.
When it comes, confetti will fall and "Auld Lang Syne" will play. Post New Year's Day, the screen saver countdown starts over (which I love, because NYE is my favorite holiday).

It's pretty embarrassing to find out you've been singing the wrong lyrics to a song (marmoset instead of 'mama says', for example), but the download TuneLyrics can save you.
As a companion to iTunes, TuneLyrics populates the words to each song you listen to as the songs change in a separate window.
If it happens to not know the lyrics to a particular track, it lets you know and suggests a Google Search, with a button just for that presented to you.

Shakira's mantra doesn't always hold true with technology (who hasn't battled WiFi, a cell signal or less than logical download?), but most toolbar plugins offer sweet simplicity and easy access to the tools you need no matter where your surfing habits lead you.
The Google Toolbar 5 for Internet Explorer or Firefox puts a custom button to Gmail at your fingertips. You won't have to keep a window open and refresh it obsessively because you can get new message alerts, see previews of your mail and use Toolbar's search box to find any message no matter what page you're on.

One of my favorite sites (and lifesavers) has been Remember the Milk. I've raved about the text messaging reminders, and the fact that you can create custom lists and share them with others, which has made my life so much easier. Especially since I have trouble remembering when to take the trash out.

I'm significantly more interested in weather-related tips now that, you know, the weather is starting to suck. Umbrella Today alone has already saved me from some downpours! But since I live in a place like San Francisco where the weather report changes every three seconds (yes, literally), I am grateful for ForecastFox.

My devotion to Google Reader has been well-documented here, and I relish any new opportunity to get more of it (though I'd have to be a superhuman to read everything in my reader daily).
Read It Later is a free Firefox extension that just adds little empty check marks to stories in your feeds, and when you come to a post you want to read but don't have time to, simply click the check marks.
All checked stories are then saved in a separate reading list — either from Read It Later's site, in your RSS Reader, or for reading offline later!
