I’ve been using the new Firefox 3.0 on a couple of our computers here. As with any upgrade, there are new “features” (and I use the term loosely) that work nicely, whereas others are either broken or do not work as they did in earlier versions. What has changed, and what have I done to fix them?
Buying tires online
I know it sounds like an impossible concept, but yes, it is possible to buy tires online, and save money. I’ve actually been doing it for many years, even in pre-internet days via mail order. Just placed another order today, in fact, exactly two years from the last time I ordered. It’s easy, it has some beneficial advantages, and yes, it saves some cash in the process.
Planning a music server
I’m stuck here without my CDs–most of them are in storage right now. I’ve been increasingly interested in setting up some kind of central music server, and using a remote device via the network (hopefully wirelessly) to play the music on systems throughout the house. It’s just in the early planning stages right now, but I’ll keep everyone informed on the progress. My early sketches are below.
Super Monkey Ball DS
Some games translate well to the DS, while others don’t. Unfortunately, the DS version of Super Monkey Ball falls short. The game itself is really no worse than the versions for GameCube, but the biggest downfall is the DS itself.

Apparently, the XM/Sirius merger deal is almost completed, just pending final FCC approval. I think this is one of the worst developments for satellite radio. Why?
