Technology: Microsoft has released Internet Explorer 7. It is a quantum leap over the outdated IE6 and is well worth the download. You can get it here.

Masons: Tim Irvin is writing an interesting series about the Masons. You can find a link to the six installments in the sidebar on his site.

Music: Sovereign Grace Ministries has launched their page for the upcoming Christmas album, "Savior: Celebrating the Mystery of God Become Man." You can download a free song from the album and place your pre-order.

Conflict: At the New Attitude blog is a good article by Mark Lauterbauch who discusses how to disagree with other Christians, humbly.

Sermon: A couple of days ago Phil Ryken posted a great quote by the late, great James Boice.

IE7 looks like Mozilla Firefox with the serial numbers rubbed off. Figures.

So why settle for the imitation?

I was forced to use IE7 over the weekend due to my recent adoption of the Vista beta. It took me a while to find the Roboform extension for Firefox 2.0.

Anyway, while it is a clunky imitation of 2.0, those on tab closures were in last years early beta of IE7. Me thinks Firefox borrowed those (which I hate, by the way).

The excessive security in IE, a result of their constant security breaches in earlier versions, is annoying and makes one simply turn it off in minutes (where does that leave me?). And, once you make it default, there's no turning back. I've begged it, to the point of tears, to allow Firefox to be default, but though the settings tell me that FF is default, every link I open from email or docs opens in IE. Smells like monopolistic behavior...
