Firefox 4.0 = wait 1 year, then start Chrome

From rc3.org, another example of the Firefox team working hard to turn Firefox 4.0 into a Chrome-alike.

I already run Chrome on my Ubuntu box and on my Mac. Really the only things that prevent me from using Chrome full-time are:

  • web app I’m developing at work must look right in Firefox
  • no extension support in Mac Chrome yet

The lack of extension support on Mac is a sticking point for me because I’m a Delicious Bookmarks user. There’s a Delicious Chrome extension that I’ve been using on Linux, works great.

Another point is that Mac Chrome doesn’t have a functional bookmark manager yet. I keep starring things, in the hope that some future version will let me see and manage everything I’ve bookmarked. =)

Settlers woes

Briefly:

  1. Amazon is selling Settlers and Cities and Knights each for $10 less than I just paid for them. (Ahem, there was a “whiskey situation” I was not involved in.) That $20 could have been several delicious burritos!
  2. Mayfair added a sea frame to the latest edition of SoC. While that’s great for setup and new players and all, now I have to buy this damned adapter kit to complete my 5-6 player Settlers universe.

…aaaannd scene.

Mooo!

Moo.

Celebrity sighting: The Wire

Hi everybody!

I totally spotted Kima Greggs Sonja Sohn at a local Valley coffeeshop. I won’t say which one so as not to discourage more celebrity sightings.

Usually I’m oblivious to whatever incredible things are going on around me, but this time, I was the one who noticed, not Alex. Haha!

Fear of a Mac planet

Apple Reports Record Second Quarter Results: $1.05 Billion in Profit

I’m afraid of Apple’s positive inertia.

Roy always said “panic is the best motivation.”

Will Apple do something about:

  • bizarre crashes after I’ve installed a security upgrade, but before I’ve restarted?
  • the occasional failure to properly resize windows after I unplug a secondary display?
  • their refusal to recognize apt-get as the One True Software Delivery Mechanism? =)

Hmm, I guess I’m a Mac fan again. I just can’t resist the pretty pretty fonts.

I upgraded Wordpress.

And I couldn’t have done it without Kelsey.

But first, I backed up my 4 amazing posts. Because I am serious about backups.

In other news, Pro Nails and Sensual Seduction.

Nissan Mid4?

Autoblog recently posted a photo tour of Nissan’s private storage facilities for their rarest and most kick-ass vehicles, and when I saw the Nissan Mid4, I was shocked at its similarity to the Honda/Acura NSX.

The pop-up headlights, the turn signal lights that wrap around the front fender, et cetera.

I just have to know… which came first? Who stole whose paper napkin sketch in what fancy restaurant?
