Screech and then boom.

So I was sitting down stairs, it's about a quarter after eleven in the evening, when I here the skidding of tires and grinding of metal outside my front door. Out the door I go and well...

Let me just say this; fast car, slick road, 15 year old sans-license.

Not enough, umm; brick wall, cement light post, "my dad's gonna kill me."

More info you say? Well, pictures shot from my upstairs window speak louder than words.



Screech kaboom says the car to the wall.


Whoop, whoop says the ambulance.


It's 11:15 PM. Do you know where your front wheels are?

The Joy of Firefox.

Okay all you web enthusiasts, it's time for you to switch to Firefox. For those of you wondering what Firefox is, it is a browser that will release you from the mundane MS Internet Explorer. Once you experience tabbed browsing, your world will never be the same again.

Get Firefox!

The greatness of Firefox lies in it's Extensions. The program is open source which allows people to create plugins that add to your browsing enjoyment.

Here are some of my Favs:

FoxeyTunes 0.61 - Control any media player from Firefox and more...

Image Zoom 0.1.7 - Adds zoom functionality for Windows. (Not overly useful, but very cool.)

Gmail Notifier 0.3.3
- Let's you know when you've got Gmail.

Close Tab on Double Click 0.1.2 - Does what it's called.

That's all for now. Part of the joy of Firefox is finding the extensions that work best for you. Enjoy!

If you try it let me know what you think in the comments section.

Outrage Under the Golden Arches

I am FLABERGASTED!!! That's right, FLABERGASTED!!!

Ronald McDonald is a fiend, and he is not to be trusted. He is a thief; a no good sneaky thief. He has stolen something very precious to me, and no, I am not talking about my former waifish figure.

The image “http://www.mcdonaldsnymetro.com/assets/images/Ronald_McDonald_Photo.gif” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

On a recent journey to my local McDonald's, I was shocked and appalled at a vicious menu change made to the value meal lineup. There is no more number 2. Now before anybody starts making doodie jokes (tee-hee, I said doodie), the number 2 on the value meal contained two cheeseburgers, a medium fry, and a medium beverage. It was the one meal I enjoyed at McDonald's, and now it is gone...GONE!

Now the quarter-pounder meal occupies the space where my beloved two cheeseburger meal once resided. The QP was promoted from number 3, and it's big brother the double-quarter-pounder is now in it's former residence.

I don't know why they did this, but they could have at least given the elegant number 2 meal the proper respect, and retired it's number. Seriously, I want to see an 'In Memory of..." place holder for the two cheeseburger meal.

Perhaps I am over-reacting. I mean, it seems harsh to refer to Ronald as a thief. Besides, it was most likely that shifty-eyed, Hamburgler bastard.

Triple threat.

Okay, sorry for the delay on an update but here ye go. My sis and I went to go see the Beastie Boys in concert a few weeks ago and the show was amazing. The show contained tracks from every album which is always a hope at any concert, but is especially important for a group like the Beastie Boys.

"Why so important Jeff?"

I'll tell you why, there is usually about a three to four year gap between albums, so at the concert the audience had fans in their early-teens to their mid-thirties. While the younger folks went nuts for Intergalactic the old folks got giddy for Paul Revere. As for myself, my favorite was when they came out in baby blue tuxedos and played Lighten Up.

Anyway no matter what your age is, if you like the Beastie Boys you have got to check out this new album by DJ Green Lantern, Beastie Boys: New York State of Mind.

.

This DJ has created a "mixed tape" using Beastie Boys tracks spanning their entire catalog with alternate background music, and sometimes alternate rappers to create a brand new B-Boys experience. Again this is for Beastie Boys fans only. There is a bit of creative language on some of the tracks, so beware.
