Month: October 2006

I love stuff like this.

I used to have a half hour DVD of stuff like this called The Way Things Go, but I lent it out and never got it back. I think it’s lost for good!

Make that idiot.

I resisted for a while, but once I watched a few episodes of Lost I became hooked. I’m finally all caught up to the new episodes airing now. The first two seasons are available on DVD and watching the third season will be tough with commercials and the lower video quality.

The best way to describe Lost is that it’s Twin Peaks meets Survivor. Highly recommended.

The Bucs just renewed their membership on my most hated teams list. Damn that was a ridiculous kick.

In the nuts.

Does anyone know where I can find a clip from the Simpsons where Homer worked for Globex? The episode was called “You Only Move Twice” and it’s the scene were Homer is in charge of motivating a few guys on computers. He says something like, “Do you guys think you can work harder?” and they do.

Thanks YouTube.

I had some problems with my home Firefox installation (“Home” and “End” occasionally didn’t work in textboxes), so I downloaded the preview release of Firefox 2. So far it’s pretty neat. The icons in the default skin are slightly different and they look great. Tabs now each have their own Close Tab button, which I’m not sure I like. I used to open a bunch of tabs and then move my mouse to universal Close Tab button in the top right corner. After quickly scanning the page I’d close it if there wasn’t anything worth checking out and wouldn’t have to move the mouse at all. Now I have to move the mouse to close each tab, but I guess this will prevent you from closing the wrong tab by accident.

The best feature is definitely inline spell checking for textboxes and textareas. I LOVE IT. It’s not intrusive at all and it just underlines misspelled words with a red line like in Word.

Sometimes you just put something out there and in return you get something back even better. The other day I posted the video of Back the Future’s Biff singing a song that mentioned Crispin Glover, so Brian sent this my way.

Bizarre.

Great game tonight.

Also in honor of tonight’s game, let’s revisit a great Eagles – Cowboys moment:

Yikes, I hope too many people didn’t see what was posted here a minute ago. Thanks Brian for pointing it out.
