That FF2 w/ Tab Mix Plus -> FF3 w/o TMP goofiness had me pulling my hair out. May I save your hair from similar trauma.
Firefox 3- Del user_pref("browser.sessionstore.enabled", false); from prefs.js if you used Tab Mix Plus w/ FF2. FF3 session restore now OK.
Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade on MOTO Q 9h is a success! Now to reload all apps & reset all settings. :-/
Cinema 1 at the Somerville Theater is a work of art! I love old theaters.
IMHO, Hamlet 2 would have been better if it didn't try for so many "cheap laughs". The intelligent comedy was best.
Hamlet 2 - funny, but no for the easily offended! Definitely see the South Park stamp on it.
Headed to Somerville Theater to see Hamlet 2.
Diesel Cafe in Davis Sq, Somerville, MA, serves coffee from Intelligentsia Coffee in Chicago! I like them already. :-)
That is all. Thank you for listening. My soap box is being put away for the moment.
You've built a viable infrastructure to solve the problem. Now use it!!!! Don't make the consumer work to watch your content!
Hulu could be a good option, if NBC used it to make their own content available! No excerpts - full content!
I don't support piracy, but legit options need to be made available! Otherwise, ppl will gravitate to the available options. This problem is solveable.
Law & Order SVU Seasons 8 and 9 - no DVD; no Netflix streaming; no iTunes; Amazon Unbox, but purchase only - no rental.
Also, site looks like it was designed at the birth of the Internet and hasn't been updated since.
Mass Pike FAST LANE web site - why no ability to list or download charges? Would be helpful for expense reports.
RTM = Remember The Milk, for those of you who don't use the best to-do manager on the web!
Google Tip gadget fails too, but I can survive without that one... I hope.
Just noticed that RTM, Ping.fm, BeTwittered, and Google Calendar iGoogle gadgets don't work in IE 8 B2.
Phone contacts, web bookmarks, and data backup complete. Next step - WinMo 6.1 upgrade. Pray for me.

Keeping good thoughts for the people of New Orleans.
According to an old episode of Law & Order SVU, blogging = daily, almost hourly, visits to a web site. :-/

Sick and tired of self-righteous a-holes who say "don't take it personally!" as a way to excuse their bad behavior.
Best job in the world? Guy Fieri on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" on Food Network!
...Elegy, American Teen, and - yes - maybe even The Clone Wars.
Movies to see this weekend - Hamlet 2, Traitor, Forzen River, Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
Was planning to drive to Philly for the long weekend, but decided to veg at home instead.
I have to admit - Microsoft is doing good work on IE8. Firefox won't be going anywhere, but I'm not as IE-averse as I was.

IE8 Automatic crash recovery - pretty nice feature. http://ping.fm/lTbUa
It's great to see more publishers embracing ebooks http://ping.fm/aSkVw

OK... Gmail's IMAP support is goofy. It's tolerable, but I don't like it.
Funny how people forget that Safari has had private browsing for *YEARS* while they're taking shots at IE8! http://ping.fm/vXPwF
Latest build of Digsby seems to have me back in business. Phew!
Just started checking out Skydeck http://skydeck.com/. This is pretty slick!
Crap! Digsby is dead for me right now. :-( I let it apply the latest update and now it won't even start. @digsby - any suggestions?
IBM Lotus really nailed it with Notes 8.0.2. Performance is *MUCH* better!
Just getting on a call with a BIG potential Domino client. Very positive outlook!

Outstanding. My WinMo phone just reset and wiped itself. I guess this makes my decision to upgrade to 6.1 easier.

Just tried getting a file from Microsoft Live Mesh mobile. Wow! That site is S...L...O...W!
Going to be a long night of driving tonight.

Taking a break from the road and enjoying some dinner at Rein's Deli in Vernon, CT.
Why do movies sometimes disappear from Netflix's Watch Now service? Annoying!
Hmmm... Just noticed that the newest version of Digsby includes support for Lotus Sametime contacts. Now they need support for Lotus Sametime IM accts!

Is 29 hours old too young for a little girl to have her own pony? I don't think so! :-)

Shocked! Shocked, I tell you! HSBC denies gigantic BlackBerry/iPhone switch- http://ping.fm/ptg1v
Can I be an Uncle Bill even if I'm not related to the baby? If not, that won't prevent me from spoiling her! :-)
She is 8 lbs 6 oz of gorgeousness! :-D
Please welcome Olivia Grace Graver to the world! A beautiful baby girl!

Anybody know when BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0 will be released? Will Domino R8 support be improved?
If/when I wipe my Q9h, I may try BlackBerry Connect instead of Good Mobile Messaging. Good is a hog!
"Upgrading" my Moto Q9h to WinMo 6.1 requires a complete wipe of the device. Lovely. Not exactly an "upgrade".
It's sad that I'm excited to find gas for the super low price of 3.699.
How's this for a movie review zinger? "Its only other value will be when it shows up on cable in a year and offers respite for insomniacs."

Listening to IBM talk about the upcoming Notes and Domino 8.5. Pretty cool stuff coming for customers and ISVs.
It's hard to soar like an eagle when you're flying with turkeys.
