The hill by my house that leads to the Holmes Run bike path is quite steep (I'd wager it's 30º to 45º all along the hill) and getting back up it is a bitch. Hope to find a parking spot nearby the trail entrance (actually, Parklawn Pool comes to mind! Don't think they regulate parking over there) Eventually I may bike to work yet! (dunno for sure about Winter...) Congrats on your biking adventure! I went riding the other day for the first time in years and loved it, but have yet to go again.

This is my most-used feature in it. Any time I need to verify a site will degrade gracefully, this is what I turn to. (IE's similar toolbar has a likewise similarly useful set of disablers) Display Topographic Information. I got into using this from seeing vincent Hu use it. Any time it's not absolutely clear what's causing blocks to shove each other aside, it's the secret weapon of sleuthing. Validate Local HTML. I use this constantly when working on new designs to ensure quality code and to make sure I didn't goof up! There's a keyboard shortcut too, so it's eminently usable! Just wanted to make the case for not throwing out the old tool just because there's a new one. Some old dogs know tricks the youn uns don't yet!

Have you seen he created an iPhone toolkit for JavaScripters? Crazy stuff, and I've run across at least one reg-ass site that seems to make use of it. Anyone who doesn't adopt Firebug has a bug up his ass. It's worth the occasional crashes and if you're not actively using it it's not gonna cause a problem. The main benefits of Firebug are when using it for scripting, but I won't get up on a pedestal about it. They use it at <a href="http://hanleywood.com" rel="nofollow">Hanley Wood</a>, happy to say!
