If you use firefox, and REALLY want to speed it up, check out this extension. I've not tried it myself, but the reviews are unanimous that it makes a huge difference in the speed of your browser. Now if only somebody could figure out a way to speed up the actualy launching of firefox. I swear it seems like hours when I first start it up in the morning. Must run on deisel or something. Update: I've tried it and it WORKS!!! Very fast indeed!!

Random thoughts:

-Hockey started its season again last night...did anybody who's not wearing a Hockey Jersey at least 3 times a week notice?

-You know that people have blind spots when the media talks about how the Steelers will play better on Monday with a more prepared offensive line...uh, does anybody happen to be aware that our secondary has sucked for like 10 years or something? I give up. What's the point?

-So Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are having a baby...that's about as relevant to my life as saying, "Somewhere out in a swamp, a crocodile just ate two of its newborn offspring for dinner".

-If you have dial-up and still surf the internet, be aware that most of what the web can now be used for has passed you by completely. Other than viewing websites and reading e-mail, you've reached your limit. Just thought I'd share.

-George Bush really hasn't said anything much different in the past year or so about our presence in Iraq or the war on terror. I get why we are there ,but I don't get why some of us are so dumb that we need 70 speeches from him to explain why we are there.
