Follow this link to the article in The New York Times.

There were a few items in the list that I thought might be worth a follow-up.

The one that I have tried is:

READABILITY The single best tech idea of 2009, though, the real life-changer, has got to be Readability. It’s a free button for your Web browser’s toolbar (get it at lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability). When you click it, Readability eliminates everything from the Web page you’re reading except the text and photos. No ads, blinking, links, banners, promos or anything else. Times Square just goes away.

It works as advertised on a few web pages that I have tested it on.  It might take a day or so for me to figure out if it is really worth it.  It is very easy to add to your browser.  Once you do, you can apply it on this blog.
