Did I do the right thing?

IE 8: Getting better…

Microsoft released an updated beta version of Internet Explorer 8 yesterday. I download a copy for Windows Vista and I must state that Internet Explorer is improving, but will never replace Firefox for me. The performance I experienced with IE 8 was impressive, but since most websites are not compatible with IE 8, you are forced to go into ‘compatibility mode’.

A lot of talk has been made into this “InPrivate” mode. This setting essentially opens a new session of Internet Explorer and your browsing history, temporary Internet files, form data, cookies, and usernames and passwords are no longer being retained by the browser. Bloggers have called this feature “Porn Mode”. It works as advertised.

For me, I could care less about web slices. IE 8 incorporates some features that are available in Firefox 3, but still does not have native spell checker. Performance alone will make IE 8 worth an upgrade, but don’t expect it to replace Firefox.

I Won!! I Won!!!

Holy smokes -  I totally won!!! Alright, check this. Back in the day when I was working for the DeathStar they had this employee reward program called the “Circle of Excellence”. This was a reward that was granted to the top percentage of nominees and they would enjoy an all expenses paid trip to Hawaii for a few days. Well, I done won that twice at the DeathStar. w00t!

Any who, my current employer also happens to have a little reward that is very similar. After receiving a nomination from a collective group, it was announced today that my nomination was accept by senior leadership and I would be enjoying an all expenses paid trip to Maui!!!!!! w00t w00t!!

Don Imus is back in the news for all the wrong reasons; again. Last time he made national headlines was for his comments towards the Rutgers University women’s basketball team. Now, he is back in the news for comments in regards to Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones. The discussion that has caused a stir is:

“What color is he?” Imus asked.
