Firefox Rocks and Upchuck Sucks

So I've been trying out the Mozilla Firefox browser for the past couple weeks as an alternative to the ever-ubiquitous Internet Explorer. I have to say that I'm pretty damn satisfied with my experience. Browsing may not necessarily be faster then IE all the time but it's fast enough and something about it just feels cleaner.

Plus I can customize my browser and my browsing experience to a great number of options more than IE, including multiple add-ons that can be downloaded (for free) that do any number of things from integration of media players into the browser to a powerful download manager system. On top of that, there are standard features to the browser such as popup blocking that actually seems to work, the much-needed tabbed windows feature, and an easy-to-use RSS feature for live feed sites.

There are still a few issues with websites created to be IE-only compatible but for those rare instances, there's even a Firefox extension that you can add that will launch your current page in IE at the click of a button.

I highly recommend you give Firefox a try, even if just as a secondary browser if you're required to use IE for whatever reason.

Oh yeah, also, in completely unrelated news, tonight I threw up for the first time in years! Wow, was that sick... I'd practically forgotten what the feeling was like after all this time. I'd actually already been feeling out-of-sorts this morning, so I guess I should have seen this coming.

Okay, so it happened tonight while I was at church Bible study just sitting there after dinner with an upset stomach. I was supposed to lead the sharing that night and I figured I ought to try my best to stick around and keep things going, try to hold it down (control of the meeting, not the vomit!). I actually managed to go through my discourse without really missing a beat, simply by talking somewhat softly. But staying put while others were sharing afterwards was kind of difficult.

When the call for prayer requests came around to wrap up the meeting I just couldn't stop myself from heading on over to the bathroom and hanging my head over that not-so-pristine porcelain bowl. I'll spare you the details, but let's just say that I think my body tried to make up for the fact that I hadn't done this in so very long. I hope this means another six years before this happens again... Sick stuff. Why did I tell you about this? I...don't...know.
