Show your College FB Spirit with Firefox Themes
Posted by Jonathan | Filed under Firefox, Sports, Themes
The 2007 college football season was one of the greatest roller-coaster sporting events that I have witnessed in my life. To give examples of the ups and downs of the season: over the course of the 8 week BCS rankings there was 12 teams that held the top 5 slots. The number 1,2 and 3 rankings changed 3,5 and 7 times respectively. Colleges like South Florida University held the number 2 position. And Michigan University was upset in week 1 by Appalachian State University and then blown out by Oregon the following week. And in the end The Ohio State University and Louisiana State University will be playing each other for the national championship.
Though I’m an Oregon ducks fan and their championship hopes ended with a knee injury to their quarterback and subsequent losses, I live in Columbus, OH and by default enjoy watching The Ohio State Buckeyes. But whether you are an OSU Buckeye or LSU Tiger fan you can show your support by running a customized Firefox team logo theme for your browser.

Extensions for Firefox Reviews - Part 1 Gmail Extensions
Posted by Jonathan | Filed under Extensions - Addons, Firefox, Software
While looking for new extension add-ons for Firefox (can’t remember why exactly now), I noticed that many extensions preformed the same function, yet have different features. So I decided to start a new series of posts reviewing and comparing Firefox extensions. Hopefully, these reviews will remove some of the confusion over which extensions you want to use.
Before I begin, let me say that if you are not using Firefox I highly recommend that you download it. Here are just a few reasons to choose Firefox over IE7:
- The Mozilla developers are quick to issue a patch for any bugs found in the system. IE7 was released with holes, bugs and exploits and when Microsoft finally issued a patch it still left holes.
- Firefox is not part of the operating system, but a separate application. Was is this important? Think of it as a separation of powers. You don’t want your web-browser causing problems for your OS, and vice versa.
