Thursday, July 10th, 2003 · 1 Comment

Back in May when Mozilla Firebird was released and I started using it, I was blown away by how cool it is — in particular, the popup window blocking feature (and tabbed browsing, which I’ve grown to love). Since then, I’ve been using it pretty much as my primary browser. And IE 6 as backup […]

Ultimate Trip

Wednesday, July 9th, 2003 · 1 Comment

How trippy would it be to fall asleep in 1984 and wake up in 2003? Nearly 20 years in a coma. I can’t even begin to imagine what that would be like. Terry Wallis was 19 when he went into a coma and woke up 19 years later — when his daughter is now 19…the […]

666

Tuesday, July 8th, 2003 · 3 Comments

My previous post was the 666th entry in my blog. Proof, Dave claims, that I am evil. Hell, I’ll admit it. 666 has been a favorite number of mine for quite some time. This is indisputable proof of my evil ways. Thanks to Dave for revealing and documenting my evil tendencies.

Power of Email

Tuesday, July 8th, 2003 · Comments Off on Power of Email

I just sent a single email to nearly 100 people (I guess I know a lot of people, huh? and I didn’t even send it to everyone in my email addressbook) to let them know my new cell phone number. That makes me think about how cool email is. In a matter of minutes, I […]
