FireFox Myths

I was working a little today in the admin section managing this blog, and I noticed a link to browsehappy.com.  It is a site that tries to influence people to stop using Internet Explorer and switch to any of 4 different browsers (FireFox being at the top of the list).  I read on, and they feel that Internet Explorer (IE) is 1. Unsafe and 2. Not as efficient.

I’ve used FireFox, and I don’t agree with them, but I wanted something substantial to validate my opinion.  Enter FireFox Myths, a site that debunks a lot of the fanhype that surrounds this browser.  It also shows that IE really isn’t all that bad and isn’t lacking in anything FireFox has.  I feel so strongly about it, I’ve put up a semi-permanent link on the sidebar. 

Another day

This seems to be the busiest time of the quarter.  I have a million papers to grade (but no more Huck Finn essays YEAH!), and all the students seem to be worrying about their grades now.  The quarter ends next week, so I can’t blame them.  Oh, lots to do. 

So, have a good day all (even though it is only Adam who reads this now).  Until later…

Quotes and Mars

This is just to inform everyone that I added a “Quotes” page (under “Pages” on the right) where Jessica and I will be putting any cool quotes we run across.  I’m hoping that over time, you’ll be able to read through them and get a good feeling for who we are and how we feel about things. 

On a different note, check out http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov for an interesting look at the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a new research vessel that will give us an unparalleled look at Mars’ water history, terrain, mineral traces, etc.

Quotes

Memorable quotes:

“Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.” -Oscar Wilde

“If home is where the heart is, then my home is where you are.” – Relient K

“Be careful what you hope and you pray for. You know you only get what you pay for.” – Aqualung (“Cinderella”)

It’s Sunday

Well, this weekend has been a busy weekend.  Saturday we worked like crazy to get to a million things done, and still have a million more to do.  By the time today got here, I was so burned out that I couldn’t get the papers I need to grade finished.  Oh well, it happens.

We’re Live

This pretty cool that we can do this…

First Entry

I know no one is reading this (except for you Jessica, Hey!), but I wanted to make it official.  We’re live!
