Hypoallergenic Cats?

Please tell me I’m not the only person who thinks “this”:http://www.allerca.com is weird.

RC1

Firefox is a step closer to coming out of beta. Version 1.0 RC1 was released this morning, but it’s not a regular update. If you’d like to test it out, see the “software update “:http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/qa/softwareupdate.html page.

Hiatus

I’m sorry I haven’t updated for a while. I’ve been busy with two jobs and a few unfinished projects, including switching my blogs from “Movable Type”:http://www.movabletype.org to “WordPress”:http://www.wordpress.org.

Google released a slick new tool this morning: “Desktop Search”:http://desktop.google.com. It allows you to search your own computer with the same speed and accuracy as a Google web search.

Strong Bad Sings

Some of the songs are lame, but for the most part it’s a great CD. I especially like “The Cheat is Not Dead,” “Techno,” and all the songs by Limozeen and Taranchula.

Towards Parity

I’ve almost matched my former Movable Type blog using WordPress.
