"I'm not rich enough to buy cheap things"

Even though cheap goods are made for cheap people, it's a false sense of cheap, because the cheap good will inevitably break, forcing you to buy another one and another one, when for the same amout of money as 2 or 3 cheap goods, you could have bought a more expensive high quality good that would last you a lot longer than 3x lifetime of cheap good.

Bookmark!

When you find something interesting, bookmark it. Bookmark it like there is no tomorrow. You never know when you're going to need that link...

Make your site del.icio.us friendly

When people find a page they like to bookmark, they frequently use services such as http://del.icio.us. Adding a bookmark is often done using a bookmarklet, which submits the URL and the title of the current page.

As a web developer, you should make sure the page's url is a "permalink" to the currently viewed item and that the title of the current page includes the title of the item (this site is not a good example, as the page title does not reflect the current item...). Additionally, you can provide submit-to links for the common social-bookmarking services (e.g. digg, del.icio.us, reddit, furl, blinklist, simpy and fark).
