Comments:"Jose Jesus Perez Aguinaga : One line browser notepad"

Sometimes I just need to type garbage. Just to clear out my mind. Using editors to type such gibberish annoys me because it clutters my project workspace (I'm picky, I know).
So I do this. Since I live in the browser, I just open a new tab and type in the url tab.
data:text/html, <html contenteditable>Voila, browser notepad.
Why it works?
You don't need to remember it. It's not rocket science. We are using the Data URI's format and telling the browser to render an html (try "javascript:alert('Bazinga');"). The content of said html is a simple html line with the html5 attribute contenteditable. This works only on modern browsers that understand this attribute. Click and type!
