friend my own daughters?

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

Facebook has recommended that I add Kerri as a friend.

Friend Kerri?
Friend Kerri?

Of course, I would never friend my own daughter, so I moved on to ignore it.  Then what? Another suggestion, this time with both kids!

Friend?

I’m not sure why I find this so amusing, but I do! I wonder if the girls do?

firefox bookmarks frozen search results

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

I was actually googling “firefox bookmarks frozen” because I can’t add or reorder any of my bookmarks in Firefox, and I desperately want to bookmark some CDs I have been listening to through my Naxos subscription. I didn’t find any useful information, but I did see a line “Firefox has been frozen by your add-on.” in the search results. Even though the site was something I’ve never heard of (MyProps.org), it didn’t have google’s warning about being a spyware site, so I clicked on it.  The article in question turned out to be just a link to another site, which turned out to be a photo gallery from the Telegraph (UK): “A tight spot: the silly animals that found themselves a bit stuck“.  Great photos!  Except the one with the six-week-old fox cub; that one was very sad. Thank goodness someone found the cub before it died.  Of course, I still can’t add bookmarks.

Barney Frank, you’re the man

I don’t normally agree with Barney Frank, but this time, he did and said everything perfectly!

Way to go, Barney!  Now if only more can speak up against misconceptions and flat-out lies and propaganda.
