“Even though I had already been exposed to all the spoilers for this episode, Doctor Who still managed to get a 'holy crap' out of me.”

Well, I guess I'll be washing the dishes for a while: Spain is now this year's UEFA champion. My wife wins.

raytibbitts@me.com is already working!

Now, get back to work.

Congrats Spain 3 Russia Rusia 0

¡Oye! ¡Tienes algo en tu espalda!

I did care about directing traffic, just not about the sports. Just as well, as I was supposed to be watching the crowd, not the field.

Someone is using flares in their semi-pagan 'St. John the Baptist' bonfire down on the beach. It is really bright.

The smell of road flares just made me shiver. Took me back to directing traffic at sporting events I cared nothing about, in a frozen rain.

And now all the pijos kids in the neighborhood must drive around in their parents' cars honking the horn and screaming.

Yes, Spain pulled it off.

Is it over, then? overtime and still 0-0?

Being amused by all the noise the whole neighborhood is making, as they watch soccer, still 0-0

No, I am NOT watching soccer... but Spain Italy is 0-0 and started 2nd half

I am trying out Adblock, StumbleUpon, and PICLENS! for Safari - so far so good.

I am trying Piclens, Adblock and StumbleUpon plugins for Safari...So far so good, even in Webkit's latest.

What does Firefox3 do better than Safari3? "Selected text-Search in Google" very smartly opens in a new tab.

Also, disallow smooth scrolling and auto scrolling, and install Color Management addon.
It's still slower than Safari - at least in feel.

I figured out a workaround for Firefox3 bookmarks - File-Import-from Safari. Keep Safari updated through .mac / .me

Keeping an eye on the 16th Popular Congress live from Valencia, Spain

"We believe in the family as the principle nucleus of society" - Mariano Rajoy, in Valencia. Interesting speech being broadcast live.

I hate the way firefox3 starts playing videos in unviewed tabs. Safari3 is smart about this.

Firefox3 vs ¡¡Webkit!! vs Safari3... Sunspider: 12.5s ¡¡9.5s!! 15.0s Faster is better... Acid3 71% ¡¡100%¡¡ 75%
¡¡Wow!!

Wemix sounds interesting. Ludacris surprises me.

See for yourself.

I love how the white meat of turkey and chicken makes your teeth bind together when you bite down.

I love how rice cakes bind to the skin of your lips.

i wonder when they'll get scrolling smoothed out in firefox for mac?

Fished Entirely, Language In Sauce

I recently came across a tool that I was previously unaware of.
I wouldn't be surprised if I'm not the first person to mention it here.
It is a part of Macintosh's Spelling and Grammar function.

There is a new function that should have been shouted from the rooftops, that is already built-in to the OSX Leopard Spelling and Grammar system.
It is the Multilingual option, and it automatically sense what language you are using,, and provides feedback (red squigglies) accordingly.
It is a joy to use, and works in-line with any standard test-field in the whole system, including Mail, Safari, etc.

**When you are typing text in Safari (or where-ever) right-click (ctrl-click) to get the contextual menu to pop, select Spelling and Grammar -> Show Spelling and Grammar. Then, from the pull-down options, select the Multilingual option.**

It's like butter.

Oh, and Firefox 3 is pretty fast, and doesn't slow the rest of my system down. I like the select text, and automatically open a new tab with google search results (probably not new.) and the animated favicon icons in the tabs, (also not new.)

Wed, shopping day, no fresh fruits,veggies, meats, fish.. no perishables. The equivalent of the Teamsters Union is ripping Spain a new one

Spring's head shakes slowly
Spanish eyes close in the sun
Guiris fill the beach

Ojos cegados
Primavera ya pisa

I hope this is how it all ends: http://ping.fm/G8pw1

I believe our our brains are more like multi-channel, organic wifi antennae, that transmit instructions to storage in a parallel reality.

I believe that our brains are not big, solid state hard drives, recording everything we experience. Instead...

Silence in the Library
definitely one of the best.
can't wait to see how it ends.

Just saw the intro to the latest Doctor Who - it feels like it's going to be the best in a long time.
