Firefox Plugins

So I have been using Firefox for quite some time now and never heard of the addons for it. As I work with webpages a lot

Web Developer

Has got to be one of my favorite addons. There is also a Adblocker which actually stops the adds from being loaded from the site and Greasemonkey which allows custom scripts to be ran on the pages you view.

All in all you really need to poke around the site and see what they have to offer.

Oh BTW thanks to Kristen for enlightening me.

Glastonbury Adventure

As mentioned at our recent outing (congrats again fisher) there are some of us with the travel bug. I have experienced some failed attempts with my college buddies at international travel, but I think I will have better luck with the good ol' nerdth herdth.

So, just to start the dialog, I post Glastonbury 2008. No lineup has been announced but if it is anything like what just ended in 2007, it should be a treat for all

Glastonbury 2008

From what I have found online, it is a cross between a weekend burning man (without the sand), an oversized coachella (on 900 acres), Charity event (Over 1.5 million raised to good causes), and a historical event going back to 1970.

Yes, this is the UK we are talking about. This could only be one weekend of an amazing trip. What do you guys think. If we are really looking at a trip in 2008, we should pick something to plan around, and start saving money now

Rock Band FTW



Okay, say what you will about EA, but this game is going to fuckin RULE! I'm currently heavily addicted to Guitar Hero and am really looking forward to this game. Not sure when it comes out, but it's supports online so we can all form up a band! I know you're all excited. You all need to get Xbox 360's so that you can be ready.

Shady Online Camera Sales

So I'm in the market for a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3. I make my way to Broadwayphoto.com which appears to have the best price on the internet - even with a $15 shipping cost.

This morning I get an email saying I have to 'confirm' my order. After waiting on hold for a good 20+ min I finally get a salesman. His job is to sell me more shit than what I want.

The camera I order comes with a 25 min battery. I ask if I bought this camera in the store if it would come with the same batter - his reply: yes it would...

So then he goes on to try and sell me a better battery which is on sale for $60+... Then when I say no thanks he tries to sell me a leather case...

Then here is where it gets really shady. Sir is there any reason
you ordered the Japanese model? WTF?!? Then he goes on to tell me I can upgrade to the American one with a 2hour battery for only $24... Yup he was going to sell me a $60 battery when a $24 upgrade was available. But that would put me at the cost of Newegg.com or some other reputable dealer.

At this point I realize I'm about to get taken to the cleaners and tell the scam artist to cancel my order.

Normally I don't mind ordering stuff from shady dealers but when I find out I have ordered something that the Model number did not imply on the site I'm quick to call it quits.

Anyway watch out for
Broadwayphoto.com and the like.
