Find out who owns a particular IP address pool:
You have a hacker who has busted into your PHP Nuke site and re-organized
your website. In your web logs you have his IP and decide this is the
last straw. It is time to track this guy. If you have his IP you typically
will try a reverse DNS lookup but if that does not work this handy tool
will tell you who owns the IP address pool he is in. This is a KEY tool
for all admins:

Use zipdecode to graphically see where zipcodes are:
Another sweet geographical map that shows you where zip codes visually are
is zipdecode. This narrows down the US locations each digit at a time as
you enter in a zip code. It shows you how the zip codes are all grouped
to various regions. Very cool. Grab it here:

Turn off annoying flash ads with flashswitch:
Imagine using your toolbar to turn on/off flash playback. These ads are
almost more annoying than pop-ups. Now with this you can just shut
off flash unless you know a site needs it and then you can turn it on
for that particular site only. Very cool and useful. Grab it here:
