Technology: Following on the heels of Internet Explorer 7.0, comes Firefox 2.0. I am waiting to download it until I can see if my browser extensions will work with it. For those interested, you can get it here.
Books: Matt Perry is requesting help in supplying books to Trinidadian pastors. "You can help in this endeavor. I have set up an Amazon.com wishlist where you can log on and buy a book that will be shipped here, and then we shall take it on to Trinidad to give as a gift."
Technology: Bob Kauflin has some wise and interesting words about the iPod. "The iPod is like any five year old. It can bring great joy to your life, but it's a good idea to keep a close watch on it."
Entertainment: How is this for seedy entertainment? A new show is seeking America's sexiest moms. "When you see a woman in her early 40s at the supermarket with a little kid and some super-low-rise jeans, she might be better looking than your 22-year-old girlfriend," executive producer Jeff Greenfield said. "Your girlfriend looks good because she's young. The 40-year-old looks good because she works at it. And that's hot." FoxNews has more.

The new version of Firefox opens up a new tab instead of a new window if a link has “target=”_blank” which I prefer. You can get a new window by shift-clicking. Also, there is an embedded spell checker, so you don’t need any plugins for that any longer. I like it!

The new Firefox is working fine. All my add ons are working, except “Move Networks Quantum Media Player”.

I upgraded to Firefox 2.0 on Wednesday, and the only extensions I have* that aren’t yet 2.0-compatible are Aardvark and All-in-One Sidebar.
(Tails doesn’t have a compatible version available from the Extension Room, but I went to the author’s site and found the latest version there works! Now I can again see that you haven’t embedded any microformat data in your site, Tim. And you call yourself a web designer… shame on you!)
* Well, the only extensions I have that I miss, at least. ;)
