Zotero

This is not at all related to class, or even to thermodynamics, but this is such a brilliant discovery I can't help but share it. People, you have to check out Zotero (http://www.zotero.org/).

This software builds right into your Firefox browser, and it enables you to oh-so-easily save and organize scientific information, particularly journal references and PDF articles. You can tag entries with your own keywords, it does all kinds of search, and it is quickly becoming an Endnote-type replacement. Best of all, it's open source.

No, I'm not related to the Zotero folks. But I find myself using this software more and more every day, and it has really simplified a lot of things. (Insert "back in my day" grad school story here.)
