"Browsing" typically call to mind different arrays of imagery and usually describe different aspects of active attention management than does "writing." But tabbed browsing helps turn browsing into a percussive enterprise, which, once it gets rollllllin', needs open wiki windows to the infinite to dissipate tabbed energy in a way that seems to call out for and inevitably lead into acts of writing. Before you explore and bookmark the online tools and resources listed on this page, and before you go any further in your wiki itinerary, be certain to install Firefox and familiarize yourself with tabbed browsing.\
