I’ve completed the switch from Mozilla 1.7 to Firefox 1.0 (release candidate). I’m now using Firefox at both work and home (though my home laptop uses Mozilla still). I had to install Thunderbird, which is Firefox’s mail/news reader. It looks and acts just like the one built into Mozilla, so learning curve is nil.

Mistress Of Reality – The World’s Only All Female Tribute To Black Sabbath – I hope to be able to go see this band when they come to Denver. They’re playing at Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom on November 12th.

International 7300 CXT – The next step in the evolution of the SUV. Crushes Hummers without even looking back.

Beth and I went to see a band called Project / Object last night. They were playing at Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom in Denver. I’d never been there and I’d never seen Project / Object (though I’ve been on their email list for a couple years). They’re mainly a Frank Zappa tribute band. There was an… Continue reading Project / Object

gopconstrm.mov (video/quicktime Object) – George Bush – Keeping America Scared – An interesting montage of clips from the Republican National Convention

MSN – News – Did ‘SNL’ Gaffe Expose Simpson Vocal Aid? – Shocking, I say! Who would ever have expected that Ashlee Simpson would resort to lip syncing during a live performance? 😉

Well, this past weekend was the end of the busy-ness, and was a “Spanish Immersion Weekend.” That’s a program that Colorado… Continue reading Spanish Immersion Weekend

Here’s an interesting insect that our cat, Rufus, found today. It looks like some sort of mantis, but I didn’t realize they had wings. I took this photo while the bug was stuck to the side of the trim around the back door to the garage. 

jest magazine – volume 3 issue 2 – Here’s a pretty funny page that parodies the Banana Republic yuppie clothes catalog. It’s called Banana Republican and features photos of key figures in the Bush administration wearing highly fashionable clothing. Take a look and tell me you didn’t think it’s funny.

BrainTenYrs.mov (video/quicktime Object) – Here’s a QuickTime movie that compares Dubya’s debating skills 10 years ago to his skill level now. I’m sure the folks who put this together have an axe to grind, but it’s pretty interesting to see that when he was debating to become governor of Texas, he actually seemed like an… Continue reading BrainTenYrs.mov (video/quicktime Object)
