My son has a vague concept of what I do at work. He knows I work at “Firefox”, knows the dino and knows I “fix computers”.
He knows that if he wants to get online he has to double-click on the Firefox icon and then on the Kidzui icon:
He asked me if I could come [...]
Facebook says 25, planet.mozilla.org says 7. I prefer not to be a strict follower of either and I’m sure no one needs to re-read the rules again. You can blame Mayu and Sean.
If I had to do it all over again, I’d do something around sociology. I’m often fascinated by human interactions and behavior. [...]
Just to close the loop on this one – I had a plumber out this morning and after $100 in parts I’m all set ($100 also included the vent and gas line for the dryer). He used a 90 degree joint and a short rigid pipe to move the regulator further to the back. Oven [...]
This is an off-topic (off Mozilla anyways) post but I’m stuck and it’s late and I’m not sure who to call to help.
I bought a new cooktop and oven. The gas cooktop has a pressure regulator that sticks out just enough that I can’t slide the oven in under it. I’m not sure if it’s [...]
NSID 2008 had to come to an early close for me today. I leave Monday for my sister’s wedding in Chicagoland and while I would have loved to hold out till the end of the month or even a few more days, that just wasn’t realistic (something about looking presentable).
You could argue I could [...]

Dave made me do it.
What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland
“You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida [...]
I have some pretty fond memories of my Dad, a math teacher, bringing home one of the (or maybe it was the) Apple II computers from work when I was in first or second grade. That’s how I got introduced to computers (and where I learned how to spell catalog). It’s also where I spent [...]
CA Academy of Sciences, Living Roof
This is far from my normal Mozilla related posts but worthwhile enough that I feel like sharing it.
I took my two children to the California Academy of Sciences this weekend. I wasn’t sure what to expect but since it’s new (or newly opened) and I enjoy these types out outings [...]
On Insider Forum on PBS two weeks ago, Suzanne Shu mentioned Ambient Orb, a product
“that people would keep in their house, and it would measure energy consumption in the home, so how much electricy you’re using.”
Unfortunately it doens’t actually do that (sort of). I think she meant the PG&E Energy Orb which does, sort of [...]
