Trying out Plaxo. I'm not sure I quite get it yet. Looks Like another Facebook only linking all your web stuff into one place. (copy from Pownce feed)

I survived the Red Ring of Death!
I had a panic attack the other day. I had just come back from Target with two new xBox360 games. After lovingly removing the infernal shrink wrap and security stickers. I hit the power button and was greeted with... nothing! I looked down and to my horror the red ring of death. In a panic I started digging through the documentation I had saved for the receipt and a service phone number.... ok I'll get straight to it. It turns out that my wife had unplugged the power brick for one reason or another (it must retain some power) and upon plugging it back in, I was back in the green. *sigh* So, in conclusion, my brief life and death struggle made me realize that Microsoft has not made it easy to get customer support. I hope it never happens again.

I Digg Firefox 3
I keep on trying to use IE7. I've come to the conclusion that while they have come a long way, they just don't understand. I want my browser to do what I want it to do, not what they think I want it to do. I want to make it look how I want. I want easy add-ons. In fact, since no one who writes good add-ons uses IE7, I want IE7 to be able to use firefox add-ons! I love my ad blocker, script blocker (noscript), and cookie blocker (CS Lite). I tried the IE7pro add-on for IE7. It kind of did some of those things. I ended up uninstalling it because it broke more than it fixed.
