Hard to believe, but 5 years ago today, the wife packed me and all our stuff up and moved us from our cozy little apartment in Dearborn Heights MI to another cozy little apartment in Charleston SC. We’re still in that cozy little apartment after 5 years and 4 different management companies. It’s a good location and a really nice place, so we really haven’t been all that motivated to move. We’ve been thinking about it lately. We’re starting to outgrow our cozy little apartment. Once our credit card debt gets paid off, we’ll start working on saving for a house. In the meantime, we’ll probably stay in our cozy little apartment. It’s close to work, close to the peninsula, close to a lot of really good restaurants and shopping, and best of all close to the beach. Can’t ask for much more.
Blazing fast Firefox
Just installed the latest Firefox nightly build (20040326) and either I’m on speed or the Firefox guys have made some amazing speed improvements over the last nightly build I installed (from a couple of days ago). Or else I’m just imagining things. But at any rate, it sure seems a lot faster than it did a few minutes ago. Especially rendering pages with tables (one of the things I’ve always thought Mozilla could do better).
Firefox just keeps getting better and better every day.
Which Kids in the Hall Character Are You?
Ok, I couldn’t resist this one
You are Gavin! If your head were made of veal, which you know it is not, but if it were made of veal, how much would it be worth? $20? No, you don’t think you’ll sell. You are a bit clueless as to what is really going on around you, in fact, you seriously annoy everyone you come in contact with. Although, this does not seem to phase you in the least. As long as you’ve got your glasses and your backpack and your mom is away getting her makeover done, you’re happy, and are content to ask useless questions and give useless answers until the cows come…which they do, every Thursday, right after they lunch with the President.
Which Kids in the Hall Character Are You?

Getting some soul
Tomorrow we’re off to Charlotte to catch the Verizon Ladies First Tour 2004: Beyonce, Alicia Keys and Missy Elliott concert. My wife wanted to go and I’m just tagging along for the ride. So armed with nothing more than Mapquest directions, a map and some snacks, we’re going to hit the road and see how many times we can get lost before getting to our hotel and then the coliseum.
Not quite sure what kind of seats we ended up with. But it seems like with most concerts, no matter what seats you end up with you’re staring at a tiny little figure on a giant state really far away. Maybe I’ll spend my time doing the Kid’s in the Hall “I’m crushing your head” thing.

I’d heard about this new 0.85″ drive from Toshiba, but I thought it was 0.85″ thick. No big deal. Then I saw this, and realized that it was the platters that were 0.85″ and have up to 4 GB capacity! Whoa! And I thought IBM Microdrives were small.
I think the Superpower case is particularly cool. And how about those motherboards…ooo yeah, baby…
Drool…
