The Goddess, God, and various other minions of open source have released the SeaMonkey.
I find that the people @ Mozilla.org have a sense of humour. They, like many of us that are pioneers in the industry of "the 'net" and/or love to do things to make the world play nice with each other are cool dudes & dudettes.
Many of you that frequent this place of the floating mind know that I hate the MS IE.* browsers. I used Netscape until the gobbling of AOL, then went to Mozilla since they were the ones that developed the "browser".
I actually remember that everything on the internet was text. Even the pictures had to be run through some sort of app. that took bin code & somehow made it an image.
Now people piss & moan that they cannot get the Paris Hilton vid.
Rant over.
Just check out SeaMonkey. Trust me, you will not get the crap that they talk about in the back of comic books. You will get a damn good browser suite that has the stuff to body slam Bill G. into the ropes.
Almost like Cactus Jack.
Blessed Be.

Geeks, Wonks, & Info Junkies - THIS IS FOR YOU!
OK, before you got any of the following links, grab something to contain the drool or other body fluids.
This stuff is cool in theory, and if actually comes of age, will make the biggest bad-assed gaming & multimedia freak weep about what they have now on the desk, in a rack, or sitting on the lap.
1.2 petabytes of storage
Every file you ever owned on 1 disc
Spintronics
Colossal Storage Corp.
I think toys like this could literally change the world as we know it WAY more than anything.
Blessed Be, & try not to get spots on your keyboard.

Movie review #30 - THIS MOVIE IS NOT YET RATED
Yes, I know it has been a while since I did the movie review thing, but I was impressed.
And as I watch various crap from the pablum approved from the MPAA to which there is a willy nilly way of grading what Americans can, and cannot watch,
I am really nauseous.
This Movie Is Not Yet Rated is something I think every movie-goer should see. It makes a good point of how arbitrary the MPAA rating system is, and how that noone knows who these people are that make these decisions.
It also bring a good point of how Indie films when being rated get a generic response on how to improve the movies rating by what to cut.
While 'studio backed' films get a very specific list of what to edit out to improve the standing.
The MPAA rating is totally arbitrary, the ratings group are supposed to be parents of teens & preteens, but majority of them are:
So, in closing, I highly recommend that if you enjoy movies, you watch this film.
And if you cannot find a copy, I will burn you one. [read big double middle fingers to the aforementioned Illuminati-istic group.
Blessed Be, burn & share.

- Divorced with no custody
- Divorced with NO children
- Have no children to begin with
- Or, they have kids. But they are in their 20's & 30's
So, in closing, I highly recommend that if you enjoy movies, you watch this film.

Fun with squirrels, Part two
Ok, now this looks like something my Grandfather would have made up to have outside the porch in northern Michigan. Heck, this would be cool to hang outside my window here in SF!
.
And sure beats the hell out of watching American Idol, survivor, celebrity Ice skating, Dancing with the Stars, and all those other horridly crappy shows that TV is trying to stuff off on us because they no longer have any creative ideas.
Squngee Deluxe - Squirrel-Feeder & Bungee-Jumper
And another one, check out the little GIF in the upper left corner
Squngee! - watch your squirrels bungee-jump for corn
Combine this with Squirrel fishing & you could have a fun day @ the park for the whole family.
Blessed Be, & mind your nuts!

Bush Causes the Repossesion of America
From John Cleese
To the citizens of the United States of America:
In light of your failure to elect a competent President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, e hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. Her Sovereign Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (excepting Kansas, which she does not fancy).
Your new prime minister, Tony Blair, will appoint a governor for America without the need for further elections.
Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium," and check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as "favour" and "neighbour."
Likewise, you will learn to spell "doughnut" without skipping half the letters, and the suffix -ize will be replaced by the suffix -ise.
Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (Look up vocabulary.") Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no
such thing as US English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf.
The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of -ize. You will relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen".
July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.
You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults. If you're not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you're not grown up enough to handle a gun.
Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. A permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.
All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap, and this is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean.
All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.
The Former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline)--roughly $6/US gallon. Get used to it.
You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.
The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.
Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie MacDowell attempt English dialogue in "Four Weddings and a Funeral" was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater.
You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby, which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full body armour like a bunch of nancies.
Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable.
You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.
An internal revenue agent (i.e., tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776).
Thank you for your cooperation.
