First two talks at ROFLThing (@waxpancake and @benhuh) were ace. The failwhale one kind of killed the momentum, though.

Genuinely impressed with McCain’s ballsy VP choice. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. This is a game-changing moment.

Only surprising that it took this long to appear: “Features the voice of K.I.T.T. (William Daniels) providing turn-by-turn voice guidance”

An afternoon of yak-shaving prior to discovering my goal was impossible all along. Now quite grumpy with Eclipse.

Mozilla Labs: Introducing Ubiquity
Nifty new Firefox extension, taking the quicksilver shorty-cutty app-launcher approach to the web. Looks very promising.
The great thing about being a basset…
If you're trying to sleep, but it's bright out, you've got your own built-in eyemask.

YouTube Comment Snob
Firefox extensions which hides the most blatantly idiotic YouTube comments. Favourite filter: Uses Firefox’s in-built dictionary to hide comments with too many spelling mistakes.
Incidentally, Youk’s Hot Sauce (http://rdbgb.us/8p2) is tasty, but if that’s his idea of “hot”, Kevin Youkilis is officially a pussy!
