Recommeded Firefox Extensions

Firefox is an awesome web browser, part of what makes it so awesome is the ability to add extensions in order to extend the functionality of some parts. There have been many extensions written, and a lot of them are very neat.

Here is a list of my favorite extensions that I use on a daily basis:


  • All-In-One Sidebar (Allows the side bar to have more features and customizations)

  • Colorzilla (An eyedropper that allows you to find out the exact color of something on your browser)

  • GrepSidebar (Advanced search within a webpage)

  • Minimize to Tray (If you have firefox open all day, and you don't want it to clutter the taskbar, this allows you to minimize the browser to the tray)

  • Mouseless Browsing (by pressing the NumPad decimal key, you go into mouseless mode where the number keys allow you to navigate links)

  • Scrapbook (Capture a webpage or part of a webpage for future consumption and or reference off-line, also it is good to be able to save a portion of a page that you find interesting, better than a bookmark, because you don't have to reload the whole page, you can just see the part that was interesting to you.)

  • Sidebar on Right (I like the sidebar to be on the right side of the browser instead of the left)

  • StumbleUpon (A great way to find interesting websites, choose your interests and then this button will take you to sites that other people with those interests found interesting.)

  • Tabbrowser Preferences (Advanced preferences for tabs)

  • Web Developer (A suite of tools to aid in web development, helpful to outline objects on the page and much more)


I was going to post links to all the places to install these, but I think I will just let you do a google search or you can search the mozilla update site.

What do you make of this "Intelligent Design"

With all the press lately about "Intelligent Design", I thought I would comment a bit on it. A) Don't teach it in schools. It isn't scientific, it is just a point of view. If parents want their kids to know about this idea, they can teach them themselves. B) It isn't scientific, it is just ideas. You can't witness any proof, nor use evidence or tests to disprove it. C) God wouldn't use supernatural means to create a natural earth. D) Science and Religion don't clash, so quit trying to exclusively embrace one and reject the other. They are both about discovering the truth, and I believe they shouldn't contradict each other. Where they meet is where we say "I don't know." Here is an interesting article about it too. This article defines Intelligent Design as "the theory that life on earth has developed by a series of supernatural miracles performed by the God of the Christian Bible, for which it is pointless to seek any natur...

The Cephalopod and I

Silently the cephalopod somehow started shuddering as something somewhere suffering screamed out from someones sin. And strangely, when I saw the sin I also started struggling so, to stifle my sensation of a strangling sort of sound. I, descending south and circling, seeking, Swam to save the screaming something. I searched, the sound was sickening; Uncertain, stopped I, listening. The source I sought. The cephalopod, still shaking, swerved and suddenly just stopped and swooned, I ascertained The sound had ceased. I sobbed. Sadly, solemnly, the squid and I, together, side by side, swam home.
