A Fashion And Style Blog

December 21, 2007 in Uncategorized with 1 Comment

After she begged me for months, I finally spent some time a few weekends back, re-theme-ing my friend Amy’s blog. I have mentioned her before, but if you haven’t checked it out, her site PunkyStyle is a great fashion blog that is worth a look.

She posts often, and really has a great eye for good looking stuff, so take a peek when you can.

I Nailed America’s Next Top Model

December 19, 2007 in Uncategorized with 0 Comments

Man, I am getting good at this. I picked Saleisha Stowers as one of my America’s Next Top Model winners back in September, and wouldn’t ya know it…she won. I’ve still never seen more than five minutes of this show ever. Mainly because it sucks. Despite being a show about hot chicks, it is still unwatchable.

If only I could parlay this into some sort of money making operation.

For some past picks, see here, here, here, or even here.

Top Six Firefox Extensions And Add-Ons

December 11, 2007 in Uncategorized with 2 Comments

I have been a firefox guy for several years now, and one of the reasons I remain loyal to the browser, is the extensions and add-ons. There are just so many things that I have snapped onto my browser that make my life a little easier. Of all the firefox extensions and add-ons I use, these are my top six, must have, best firefox extensions:

  1. Gmail Manager – Gmail is the central unloading point for all incoming email to some of my dozen or so email addresses. This extension keeps a handy little inbox counter and icon down on the right bottom corner of my browser. It even displays little snippets of my messages, so I can see if it is anything worthwhile without logging into Gmail.
  2. Google Preview – Google Preview is a nifty little extension that adds a small thumbnail screenshot to the left of your search results in Google. This is one of those extensions that you don’t think matters until you use it, and then you won’t ever want to use Google without it. Those little screenshots really allow you to scan search results more intelligently and more effectively, totally worth the install.
  3. Search Status – Right from their description, “Display the Google PageRank, Alexa rank and Compete ranking anywhere in your browser, along with fast keyword density analyser, keyword/nofollow highlighting, backward/related links, Alexa info and more.”. For geeky web people like me that do a ton of media buying and other nerdy stuff, this is an awesome little extension.
  4. FireBug – Firebug is something that I added recently, but use probably 10 times per day at least since bringing it into my extension family. This little plugin allows you to view all sorts of interesting information about the css/html/etc for any web page you are on. It’s like “view-source” on steroids and HGH at the same time. My favorite feature is being able to edit CSS live on any site as I am developing and messing around. Saves a TON of time.
  5. FireShot – This one came via a friend of mine, and could be the coolest add-on I have installed yet, though I haven’t had to use it in a real situation yet. Fireshot is a super awesome screen grab and annotation tool. Download and try, it is awesome.

Any other good ones out there I should try (aside from Greasemonkey)?
