We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

You know those round hovercraft they were selling at Christmas? The kind that you could kick around the floor? What were they called, and who sells them?

Google found "Air Pucks." Is this what you had in mind? [link] and [link]

I saw that FIrefox flaw thing. And then I turned off Javascript. And then my webmail stopped working. So I guess I'm just gonna have the security hole.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I think they should make a Roomba into an air puck.

Kick it around! Clean your floors!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Okay, I got Thunderbird to auto sort.

This is how I did it. I set up all these cool filters for the "local folders" when I should have set the filters for the pop account.

So I had to manually create all those filters all over again under the pop acct.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Huh.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So...podcasting. Apparently I am one of the few people who didn't know about this. I think it is really cool.

Does anyone know if there is a blog out there that discusses cool podcasts?

I don't like ipodder.org's lack of search engine and I would like to read an assessment of podcasts before taking the time to download them.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay, help! I'm setting up my new (very lovely, thanks for the advice, 'ffistas) laptop. I finally got it cooperating nicely with my home wireless network. So now I'm setting up profiles.

Thunderbird claims that it automatically imports from Mozilla profiles without me having to do anything. It did this just fine for the first (of four) profile I set up. For the second one (and all subsequent ones) it doesn't offer me the wizard, and when I try to import, it doesn't offer me Mozilla as one of the options I can import from.

Any ideas?
