Benjamin petting the Bunny

· Uncategorized

Before Easter, we went to Weigand’s to see the Easter Bunny and do some activites. He loved it all.

This video is at Flickr, who just launched support for videos. I’m pretty excited about this, as I’ve always wanted a place to hold both my photos and my videos. I love YouTube and Veoh, but it’s nice to be in the same place!

Which Browser is fastest on the Mac?

· Uncategorized

This has to do with running JavaScript, which is pretty much on every single site you’ll visit these days. Well, I Google’d for a site without JavaScript and found this.

It looks like running Firefox 3 Beta 5 is faster than Sarari. However, to get this to be the case, you have to be running it without extensions. Personally, I run Firefox BECAUSE OF its extensions. If you want the FASTEST Mac OS X browsing experience, then you’d have to run WebKit’s latest.

Greece invites Albania and Croatia, but denies Macedonia.

· Uncategorized

It looks like Greece has some real issues with allowing Macedonia to get invited into NATO. They fell that if Macedonia is accepted into NATO, they’d basically claim the northern Greek region which is also called Macedonia. This has been in dispute for as long as I can remember. When I was visiting a northern Greek island in 1993, there were billboards all over the place that read: “Macedonia was, and always will be, Greece”.

Greece has said it cannot support Macedonia’s bid to join Nato, because of an unresolved dispute over its Balkan neighbour’s name. Greek Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis told reporters in Brussels that Athens backed inviting Albania and Croatia but could not consent to asking Macedonia.

The decision threatens to derail Nato’s plans to invite all three Balkan states at a summit in Bucharest in April.

Kwame Joke

· Uncategorized

Justin at work sent me this today via email.

A man died and went to Heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the pearly gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, “Why are all those clocks here?” St. Peter answered, “Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock move.” “Oh,” replied the man, “Very interesting… whose clock is that?” “That’s Mother Teresa’s clock,” answered St. Peter. “The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie.” “Incredible!” exclaimed the man. “And whose clock is that one?” St. Peter responded, “That’s Abraham Lincoln’s clock. The hands have moved only twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life.” “Where’s Kwame Kilpatricks clock?” asked the man. “Kwame’s clock is in Jesus’ office. He’s using it as a ceiling fan.
