This jumped up on google.com a bit ago…a link to what Barack Obama and John McCain are reading. I wasn’t surprised by their lists.
Barack:

McCain:

To me, DailyKOS is like DailyPOS and Huffington Post is just plain garbage. I won’t even link to them.
I was glad to see that McCain read The Drudge Report, FoxNews, and JibJab!

I can’t believe this. I’m having an adult (at least I think it’s an educated adult I’m talking to) conversation with my friend from high school. I’ll leave his name out to save him embarrassment.
My friend:
I’ll take it off your bill! Your in BYATCH!!!
Me:
And it’s “you’re” in.
My friend:
Nope, what country did you grow up in?
Me:
Are you retarded? When you say “your in”, that means my “in” is ???
When I say “you’re in”, I am saying “you are in”.
Where did you go to college? Oh right…. Geeeez.
My friend:
I believe you are the retarded one. You should learn to speak English like the rest of the country!

I’ve been meaning to post this on my blog, but had forgotten to do so as I emailed it out to a handful of friends.
Here is the story:
Someone who works at a University in Eastern Washington was reading the CNN/Money article about the top 100 places to live in 2008.He went here: http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bplive/2008/snapshots/PL2672818.html and saw my picture and remembered meeting me and remembered that I worked at WSU. He sent an email to the general financial aid e-mail address asking if anyone knew who the man in the picture was.

Good to see that the folks at Mozilla have made great strides to make Firefox a fantastic browser when it comes to memory management. It used to be that Firefox was a nasty memory pig.

Firefox 3: Power User’s Guide to Firefox 3
It seems that lifehacker.com puts out some great information. I ran across this on my iGoogle.com page a few minutes ago. I’ve been using Firefox 3 for quite some time now (as a supplement to my normal Firefox 2, Safari, and Camino browsing habits). As the releases neared release, they kept getting more stable. Now that I’ve had it installed for a few hours, I have to say I’m pretty happy about it.
I’ve also installed Flock 2 Beta 1… a great browser based on Firefox 3 if you’re heavily into social websites and sharing your media (like photos with Flickr, for instance).
