If your like me, you have more than 1 Google account for different projects, areas, or even users. Often times switching between Google accounts can be a minor annoyance that can disrupt a peaceful net surfing experience. Well, I have found an answer for you - Google Account Multi-Login. A greasemonkey script for Firefox, written by Jarett, allows users to replace the sign-out link on their Google account with a drop down box where they can add multiple Google accounts. 
If your not using Firefox I suggest you do if you want faster and safer browsing with great add-ons such as Google Account Multi-Login.

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.

Gallery2 Uploading for Vista
Posted by Jonathan | Filed under Blogging, Gallery, Photos, Software, Technology, Vista, Websites
One of the nice features of Gallery2 is the ability to upload pictures directly to your online gallery from your hard drive by clicking the option publish this in the Explorer sidebar. However, in Vista you loose the publishing option in Explorer. But never fear! Where there is good software, there is a good programmer that finds a way to accomplish the task.
After scouring the gallery forums I found my answer. In the Gallery plugin experimental repository there is a upgrade to the WindowsXP Publish (v1.07) module called Publish XP (v1.07.1). Who knows why they didn’t just call it Windows Publish? After upgrading to the latest version of the module:
- Go to Add Items => WindowsXP => and download the registry file specifically labeled for Vista.
- After the registry file is successfully added, go into Windows Photo
Gallery and select the pictures that you want to upload to gallery.

The Woes of Vista - Preformed by Apple
Posted by Jonathan | Filed under Comedy, Software, Technology, Video, Vista
Now, I’m not an Apple fan. I would prefer to use WindowsXP or even a Unix based system. But I have had to deal with Windows Vista on my sisters computer and so far I’m not a big fan, so here’s a little fun at Vistas expense.
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
Because of all the problems with Vista in the last 11 months since it’s release some people are asking to switch back to XP. I would be one of them until all the bugs are worked out of Vista in 3 years

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.
