As a regular reader of this blog, you know that I use and highly recommend FireFox browser. One of the many advantages of FireFox is the ability to use add-ons.

Add-ons are little programs that can be added to ForeFox. Add-ons extend the capabilities of an all-ready great browser.

An add-on that I just found and started using is Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer 1.0.1.

Foxmarks lets you synchronize your FireFox bookmarks. If you have FireFox installed on two or more computers like a home computer and work computer you can synchronize the bookmarks of both those computers.

Simply download and install the add-on. Run the add-on set up a free account. You can then sync your bookmarks online. When you get to another computer, install the add-on and you can over right the bookmarks with the online bookmarks or you can add the online bookmarks to your current bookmarks.

FireFox bookmarks can also be accessed online any time by going to the Foxmarks web site .

The Alzheimer’s Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research. Their mission is to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease.

Memory Walk is a fun and inspiring event that brings together people from all walks of life for a common goal of helping the Alzheimer’s Association fulfill its mission. It is a great opportunity to pay tribute to those who have been affected by Alzheimer’s. Most importantly, it is an opportunity to help ensure that no one faces Alzheimer’s disease alone.

Memory Walk is happening all across the country. To find a Memory Walk event in your area, just go to http://www.alz.org/memorywalk/ and enter your zip code.

For my local readers, Memory walk will take place at the Indiana State Fair Grounds on the 14th of August. Registration begins at 12:30 pm Walk begins at 1:30 pm.

Memory Walk

Each person who participates in the memory Walk has a goal to raise at least $200, which is what the Alzheimer’s Association recommends that each Member of a Memory Walk team raise in order to reach its goal.

If you cannot participate in a Memory Walk event, you can help with fundraising by sponsoring a walker and/or by making a donation at the Alzheimer’s Association website.
