We made cake...

The difference a .0.1 makes...

A couple of days after my tirade about Firefox crashing all the time, Mozilla released an update bringing the web browser to version 3.0.1. After updating, I haven't had a single crash yet. Going from 5-10 crashes a day to zero is a pretty big leap. Like I said in my previous post, Firefox 3 has a lot of new, great features and is very fast at rendering pages. I'm finally a happy Firefox user.

That's how I roll...

I thought this was pretty funny...

Home Sweet Home - Garbage Truck Style

I came across this on the Internet today. It's a garbage truck that was converted to something like an RV, but looks incredible inside.

I think it would be fun to travel across the U.S. in something like this.

Burned by Firefox

Everyone on the Interwebz told me Firefox 3 was the cat's meow. I've been running it since Release Candidate 2 and while I enjoy all the features and the updated memory management, the thing crashes on me 5 to 10 times a day at the worst possible times. I googled the issue and it seems I'm not the only one. People recommend disabling plugins -- tried it, still no relief. Safari blows, so maybe I'll give Opera another chance. Anything but IE again. Or maybe that's what I'll be left with. Ugh.

Drums in Guitar Hero - World Tour

I have to admit, these drums look very nice. It might make me jump back to the GH franchise. I haven't seen the drum kit yet for the new version of Rock Band. I hope they have elevated cymbals at the very least.

A message from Raydoo to my son, Sam.

4th of July Fun

Rock Band, Manhattans, and more BBQ food than we could eat. I'll let the pictures tell the story.

New Template - Back to the Basics

I've been struggling with the old blog template I was using. I couldn't find the right colors and I didn't like the width of the column where posts publish. It always looked a little odd to me.

I looked through the choices Blogger offers and decided to choose a simple template with a lot of real estate for posts. Yes, it's boring -- so be it. I'm tired of fooling with it. I also removed all the Aperture pop-up shit. I don't know what I was thinking; no one likes that kind of stuff and I agree. Simplicity.

Listening to Shearwater's Rook right now. This was a suggestion from Chad and it really does deliver.
