My Take on the Buttons
Kevin Gerich has some fun alternate versions of the “Get Firefox” buttons. I decided to take a stab at it.
New Firefox, Thunderbird, and the Suite – Big Day for Mozilla
It was a big day for the Mozilla Foundation with a new release of Thunderbird 0.8, Firefox Preview Release 1.0, and Mozilla Suite 1.7.3. This preview release of Firefox is the first of probably two before the full 1.0 release in a few month in 4th quarter of 2004. Download it and try it out… Read more »
Gmail Invites Galore
I’ve had a Gmail account since early July (I was able to get it from an old Blogger account I had) and haven’t received any invites until the past couple weeks. I initially had 5 to offer and gave away two or three of them. Now it keeps getting bumped up. Whenever I give out… Read more »
Firefox Notes
Just some random Firefox notes: They’ve redesigned the mozilla.org website. Steven Garity did the redesign, and they’ve been beta testing it for the past week or so. I think it’s a definite improvement over the previous brown design. Hopefully with this redesign, version 1.0 is just around the corner. The roadmap aims for a beta… Read more »

Picasa – Photo Organizer
It happened a while back, but Google purchased Picasa, a company that develops software enabling users to manage and share their digital photos. I tried Picasa last year sometime and found that it’s a pretty nice program. If you’ve ever used iPhoto on a mac, this is about as close as you can get on… Read more »
INDUCE Act – Bad News!
There was a good article about a bad bill, the INDUCE Act, on Wired.com today. I’m thinking it might be a good time to practice what can sometimes feel an exercise in futility and send a letter to my elected officials. Until recently, much of the discussion among tech enthusiasts about a controversial anti-piracy bill… Read more »

Firefox College Campaign
Firefox, my browser of choice, has started a new campaign to promote the browser on college campuses which I think is a great idea. I’ve been using Firefox/Mozilla since they started the project and think it’s a great browser. They are taking submissions for poster designs specifically geared to college students to print up and… Read more »
The Sims 2
Who knew they were making a Sims #2 (if you think about it… it makes sense)?!? It looks like the sequal to one of the most popular games ever is coming in Sept! Take a look at The Sims Site… it looks pretty cool. I got into the first one a while back and this… Read more »
Apple Store Opening in Des Moines, IA
The West Des Moines Jordan Creek Town Center will soon be home to a new Apple store. This will be the first apple store in the state of Iowa. I wasn’t too impressed with the new mall when I visited a few weeks ago, but I may have to reevaluate my opinion now with the… Read more »
