I’ve been using Firefox for two weeks now. Some really great features. Here are the highlights. The net is that it is as nice as Opera in many respects, but has a better customization model and better compatibility with sites. Here are the high lights: * Tabbed browsing. A small…

HeadAngle – And I thought my wheels were expensive…. _I’m getting well enough to actually get on the bike again, so on to reading about more cool gear._ Reynolds has carbon wheels at $1,500. Campagnologo Hyperon Ultras are $3,000 at 1,345g per pair. Interesting to see that the Topolino wheels…

Furdlog :: DRM Is A Folding Chair. One of those great analogies that seems strange but makes sense when you think about it. Sort of like saying IT doesn’t matter or Marketing is not Mystery Meat(tm).

Types of Medal of Honors: Congressional Medal of Honor Society. OK, this probably wins some obscurity award, but in playing Medal of Honor Allied Assault, I ended up on the CMOH Society page and there is a description of all the variants of this award. I’ve heard it also described…

Is Google a Fat Pitch?. _Hat tip to “Peter Atkins”:http://permianpartners.com_ for pointing this piece out to me. Great point about Netflix (although I still wish I’d bought the stock, when it went out 3 years ago, it was a 10, dropped to $2, now is at $30, wow!). On Google,…

BNB-Hawaii.com. We had a great time in Hawaii. Connie has a way of picking particularly wonderful properties. If you have kids or want to get away from the Maui/Waikiki tourist scene, the Kailua area is just great. Its about 20-30 minutes from Honolulu, but feels a world away. It is…
