Firefox? It sounds unsafe, but I LIKE!

I thought I would throw my top hat into the ring and give you my opinion on which is better: Firefox or Internet Explorer. While I have used some form of IE throughout my entire life, over the last year or so Firefox has been my go-to browser buddy. We don't hold hands, but we're in love. Firefox, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways.


  1. I love you because you give me less spyware. After two years, my computer still works!

  2. I love you because you always get me where I'm going very quickly

  3. I love you because you help me download things easily. Oh what a nice new program!

  4. I love you because I can keep tabs on you. You know I'm such a jealous man.

  5. Lastly, I love you because you always dress nice. Whenever we go to theme parties, you have something new to wear!

As you can see, we have a love/love relationship. Just click below to download Firefox, you'll see what I'm talking about.

Product Review: Caspio Bridge

A few months ago, I was looking for a database application for a few websites I was working on. I thought that my only option was going to be learning to use MySQL and PHP, an idea that seemed reasonable in concept, but turned out to be much harder in practice. I thought I was sunk; there was no way I was going to get done what I needed to in any reasonable amount of time. Yet, there was hope; there was Caspio Bridge, a database application that anyone can learn to use.

Caspio Bridge is a web based application that has the look and feel and power of Microsoft Access with the ease of use of Excel. One can create tables in Excel, download them to the application and then create ‘datapages,’ interactive JavaScript based forms and menus based on the database which can be customized in a number of ways (even more since the product update two months ago). Moreover, since the application is web based, changes can be made from any computer.

The best of my whole Caspio Bridge experience is that the service is free! (Although a free (SOHO) account is limited to 2 ‘datapages’ and inferior support options.) Caspio Bridge is a great product I would suggest to anyone. Thus far, I have used it in 4 different websites!

Google TiSP

Google’s at it again... This April Fool's day, Google announced the launch of TiSP, a "free in-home wireless broadband service" that is installed by flushing a fiber-optic cable down the toilet to connect "local municipal sewage lines" which provide access.

To top it all off, TiSP, with a little help from Google Checkout, can deliver you online purchases to your bathroom using a "nanobot-resistant bag made of biodegradable corn-based plastic."

A full list of Google’s past pranks is available here.
