Freakin awesome links, photos, and videos Friday

Posted on

Otherwise known as FALPVF! Haha, that’s the title for a new feature on my blog that, knowing me, will likely be one post and then dropped. I cannot be trusted to blog regularly as many of you have come to realize. In fact, you might as well subscribe to the feed so you don’t waste your time checking back here frequently. I don’t have much to say. Work is work. I watch tv daily. I play Guitar Hero a lot (for now until I get bored).

So here’s some stuff I’ve seen in online that I would like to share with you all!

Bears … Beets … Battlestar Galactica – Otherwise known as Jim vs. Dwight on The Office. I laugh my ass off every time I watch this.

If that doesn’t float your boat, why don’t you break me off a piece of that Fancy Feast?

Do you prefer cute creatures? How about this hamster? Or perhaps this dragon-pig?

If creepy is more your style, check out the Living Dead Dolls pencil sharpener. Just what you need when you want to ram a pencil in some douchebag’s eye!

If organization and usefulness make you excited (like it does for me), check out the Dynomighty Magnetic Desk Dots or the Mobile Device Charging Holder. Imaginative name, that last one, eh? Manbearpig must have had something to do with it.

Can I have your domain?

Posted on

I got an e-mail the other day from someone that said, “Can I HAVE ‘domain name I’m not sharing here‘? I dont plan on making $ from it. Thanks.”

Seriously, who does that? Just because I may have that domain pointing to another site because I’m not yet sure what I plan on doing with it doesn’t mean I’m just going to give it to someone. If I didn’t want it, I wouldn’t have bought it.

Ironically, the e-mail address of this person points to a site where he does try and make money. Based on my domain’s name, it could easily be used to point to his current domain to drive more traffic to his site. Who does he take me for, a moron? I haven’t replied to his ridiculous request, although I was tempted to write, “Sure, for $10,000 it’s yours”.

Firefox Extensions

Posted on3 Comments

I was browsing through all the extensions for Mozilla Firefox recently and thought I’d put together a list of the ones I enjoy so maybe you’ll find one a new one to love too.

WebMail Notifier – Keep up with your multiple Yahoo!, Hotmail, or Gmail accounts with this awesome notifier. It’s unobtrusive and prevents you from checking your accounts needlessly. The thing I like most about it is since I have two Yahoo! accounts I use daily, I don’t have to continuously log in and out of them. After I’ve seen there’s mail, I click that account and it logs me in behind the scenes and takes me right to the inbox. That alone is awesome! I only wish I could check my domain webmail with this application. Maybe in future releases…

Tab Mix Plus – A must have for any Firefox user. My favorite feature of this one is being able to force pop-ups, like my XM streaming radio, to appear as a tab instead of a new window. Keeps my taskbar cleaner. Long live tabbed browsing!

Session Manager – The name says it all. Manage your browsing sessions so when a web page crashes Firefox, which it inevitably will, you don’t lose your spot. Of course, I never use this since I figure it’s going to try to load the bad tab too and I’ll be back to square one. It gives you a nice fuzzy feeling having it installed, however. Of course, if you have Tab Mix Plus you don’t need this as it has its own Session Manager.

Forecastfox – A cute little weather application that keeps you abreast of what’s going on outside when you’re stuck in a sunless cubicle like I am 9 hours a day.

Grocery List Generator – Configure your own personalized list of items you shop for frequently and then generate a list to be printed to take to the store.

Morning Coffee – Set up multiple sites you would like to load based on the day of the week. There’s an everyday option too. I tend to check Twitter, Yelp!, Bloglines and Flickr when I first log on so now I only have to click one button instead of opening multiple tabs and loading those sites manually.

Coupon Craze Coupon Notifier – If you’re like me, as soon as you decide to purchase something online you’re looking for codes and specials to try and save some mon-ay. This extension alerts you of all relevant deals for the site you’re currently browsing.

I am McLovin

Posted on2 Comments

Too tired and ready to head upstairs to post a real entry ….

A Qdoba ground sirloin burrito has 1080 calories! Holy shit, guess I won’t be eating there again for awhile. But that three cheese queso is muy bueno!

I actually lost at Pictionary this weekend. Well, only the second game when I was forced to team up with my brother who draws better than the rest of us yet lacks the mind-reading capabilities my husband and I share. Oh and Trivial Pursuit 80’s Edition still sucks balls.

I finally got my new computer at work! Tomorrow will be my first day using it. I’m way too excited about this than a person should be.

Super Bad was super vulgar, and super free since The Simpsons two weeks ago started late and we got free passes for the inconvenience. “I am McLovin.”

I deleted a load of feeds from my Bloglines. I’m sick of reading boring blog entry after another (much like this one). It’s a total waste of time. I need to stop spending so much time online and rediscover my old hobbies like jewelry-making. And tv-watching. LOL! Oh and exercising would be nice. I have the 1st season of The L Word that’s gathering dust upstairs by the elliptical machine (also full of dust).

Drool-worthy discovery today – Canon has announced the 40D. Oh baby, I am so getting this camera!!! Joe has wanted to inherit my 20D for awhile now but there wasn’t anything out there worthy of relinquishing it to him. Now there is. I also need a hot-shoe and Joe is going to build me a light box.

I want to have a garage sale but I don’t know if I should push myself to get one organized before October or just wait until next Spring so I can slowly declutter the closets and garage. I’m tired of all the stuff. I don’t want it. I don’t need it.
