Strong Bad Email #160
Today’s Strong Bad Email #160 features the “1989 LimoZeen Ladies, we’re staying in room 302 at the Ramada” Tour coloring book:
What’s so funny about this release of Strong Bad Email is a hidden reference to John Mayer’s bear suit that was featured in “John Mayer Has A TV Show”.
I wanted to link directly to John Mayer’s post on his blog but I can’t seem to find permalinks, so you’ll have to poke around and look for his post titled “I Like Cross (Species) Dressing” which was posted on September 25th 2006 at 8:50 am.
Here is a picture taken from his site with John Mayer in the bear suit:
John Mayer is a total nut. Gotta love a rock star who’s ok with being a dork. John Mayer, you’re ok in my book. You keep rockin’ that bear suit!
Side note, since Halloween is just a few days away, here is a link for HomeStar Runner Pumpkin Stencils with all your favorite characters.
Firefox 2.0 Final Coming Tuesday
Mozilla Corporation will launch the final of its Firefox 2.0 browser Tuesday, October 24, 2006 the company said this morning.
The long-tested Firefox 2.0 which updated to Release Candidate 3 (RC3) last Tuesday, arrives hard on the heels of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP.
Firefox 2.0 features anti-phishing alerts, session restore, spell checking, suggested searches, and several other enhancement and additions to version 1.5, the last major update to the open-source browser.
According to the most recent statistics from Web metric firm Net Applications, Mozilla browsers accounted for 12.5 percent of the surfing market in September.
“2.0 has about a dozen major improvements across the board,” said Mike Schroepfer, Mozilla’s director of engineering. “Our goal is always to get you to the important part, the content in the middle of the frame, as quickly as possible.”
“Users who have already downloaded and installed Firefox 2.0 RC3 will not need to re-download the browser”, added Schroepfer, “because the RC3 code is identical to what Mozilla is dubbing the final”.

This is a perfect word to describe how I feel about my site redesign… and now to get some sleep.
32 Gigabyte Flash Memory USB Drive
The Kanguru Flash Max is a high strength, high capacity USB 2.0 flash drive that stores up to 32GB:
The Kanguru Flash Max sports a rugged aluminum exterior housing that provides durability and ultimately extends the life of the drive. Operates on Windows, Mac and Linux, most without any device drivers.
The only downside I see with the beauty? It costs $1,499.99 USD. Yikes. I want one but not that bad.

This reminds me of another comic that a good friend of mine is developing with a character named Mr. JiM Cracker.
Yeah, he’s a tard. Ok, moving along…
Home Office View
Over the past few weeks I’ve been working on a side project during the evenings from my home office.
I like working in the evenings because it’s nice and quiet. No noise, no phones, just a lot of good coding while relaxing in the comfort of my own space.
The best part about working from home is the view I have on nights like this evening:
Tonight was an amazing sunset as you can see from my photo.
Now if the tree blocking the middle of the bay could just go away, the view would be that much better.
To bad I don’t have a wood burning fireplace. Where’s George Washington when you need him to chop down a tree?
Ok, maybe not chop it down but relocated it so it won’t be blocking the view so much.
