Don't let this article slip by you ;)
I learned stuff about bananas that I never knew before in this article explaining the probable danger that the banana is in. Now I know the background behind the song "Yes, we have no bananas" that I have heard many times before - the Spike Jones version, as opposed to the version mentioned in the article.

I wish they had this when I was in school
I never cared for geometry or trigonometry. It's illogical. Anyone who tells you differently is lying! ;)
Now there is a new method of doing trigonometry with algebra. Sounds interesting. Not enough for me to back to school to learn trigonometry, but still.

This Week In Tech
For those of you who miss the Screensavers day of ZDTV/Tech TV and don't know about it already, Leo Laporte and some of the old Tech TV gang now have the audio program This Week In Tech. Go listen to it! A new episode comes out each week, usually lasting to close to an hour and a half.

Firefox Extensions, Part 2
More extensions that I use:
Disable Targets for Downloads: There are a number of times when I try to download something and Firefox opens a new window/tab. This extension simply removes that annoyance.
Adblock: Remove those ads that annoy you with this extension. This has been nice to use for those ads that play sounds. Remove just the single ad or completely block the server it comes from.
Tabbrowser Preferences: Tabbed browsing saves me from having a large number of windows open at the same time, but I never cared for the positioning of the tabs. I use this extension to have the tabs at the bottom of the screen.
PwdHash: It's difficult to keep track of passwords, especially when you have dozens of them, whether they be for your operating system, a special program, or a website. As such, most people tend to use the same password in multiple places, which isn't the wisest idea if someone figures out that password. PwdHash will automatically make a more secure password for a site while you continue to use that easy to remember password. Let the extension description and the PwdHash site explain it more. My only complaint about this is that I would like a way to know which sites I used PwdHash with - granted, I should just go through all sites and change my passwords to use this...
