Huge kudos go out to the foxmarks crew with the recent update.

If you’re using Firefox (and you should), you should check out a number of plugins including the foxmarks plugin.

Reasons I use foxmarks include, but are not limited to:
1. It takes seconds to sync bookmarks
2. They just updated the online service so if you don’t feel like installing a plugin they offer an awesome, easy to use interface to organize your bookmarks at my.foxmarks.com
3. Other bookmarking sites/programs pretty much suck. I’ve tried 3 or 4 other bookmarking sites before coming across foxmarks and none of them comes close to foxmarks.

Other recommended plugins:

• Web Developer (if you like to tinker with web sites)
• FoxyTunes (adjust your music program of choice through your browser)
• StumbleUpon (Finds sites based on your interests, will show you some neat sites you’d never find otherwise.  )
• PDF Download (Keep .pdf files from loading into your browser without your permission.  Especially useful for dial-up users!)
• Adblock Plus (Firefox does a good job blocking pop-up ads, but this added protection is nice)
• IE Tab (for the stupid, stupid, stupid sites that only work with Internet Explorer)
• FireFTP (easy way to transfer files to server.  Not the best interface, but it’s free
• ImageZoom (nice added ability to zoom in or out on images)

Spent another weekend helping Tom at the lake. Once again, I’m sore!

Progress made:

(20 screws per board. ~1 billion boards.)

Got back into town a little past 11pm. Overall we had an awesome trip!

It’s 2am now and time for me to play a little bit more NCAA Football.
Happy birthday Scott!

Em and I had a great day in Chicago today!

Got on a train at 6:15am, dunkin’ donuts at 7′ish, passport stuff in federal building until 9′ish, then walking all over the city. Niketown, playing with an iPhone at the Mac store (not as bad as i expected…but not worth buying..yet), taking a tour of the shoreline and river via boat, eating lunch with a buddy of mine who works downtown, and lots lots more.

Pictures will be up tomorrow or Sunday

I loved the way the last theme looked but it wasn’t valid code (and it would have taken me forever to change) so I’ve changed it to one that is.
Not bad on the eyes

Work: 8-12
Centralia (for setting up computer account at school): 1-3
T-bal:  5:45-6:45
Random stuff:7-12
Pick up NCAA Football 2008 at Wal-Mart! : Midnight

I think I’m going to apply for the “Educational Technology” Masters program at the University of Central Missouri.

That is all. Have a nice day

I’ve added another activity to the list of things I’m doing this coming school year: Missouri Business Education Association (MBEA) Nominating Committee Member.

What will I be doing? Something about looking over applications for President, VP, and so on, as well as search for candidates if needed.
