Just to post something new at least once in a while – here’s an AI Drake song about browsing the web with the Vivaldi browser:
Internet searchin’, pages turnin’
Finding something new, never learnin’
Vivaldi, it’s the tool that I choose
A browsin’ journey, no time to loose
Exploring wide and far
Vivaldi, it’s my go-to star
Surfin’ the web with style and grace
Vivaldi, the browser I won’t replace

STAR WARS EP 4: Laser Moon Awakens – probably the funniest SW dub since the Vader Sessions.
Every story has a beginning…..That may or may not start somewhere in the middle of a six or maybe nine part franchise…. With a revolving door policy on extended continuity. This is that story…. Maybe!

Jon swimming to the USA
Last week, in a bold (and quite foolhardy if you ask me) statement, Opera CEO Jon S. von Tetzchner declared that if the download numbers of the new Opera 8 Web browser reach 1 million within the first four days of the launch, he will swim from Norway to the USA with only one stop-over for a cup of hot chocolate at his mother’s house in his home country, Iceland.
Today it was revealed that the one million downloads goal was indeed reached, so at the moment I guess Mr. Tetzchner is preparing for the cold swim across the Atlantic. Keep abreast of the latest news at Opera’s 1 Million Download Challenge page. Will he actually take the (literal) plunge?
Daring Fireball has a Translation From PR-Speak to English of selected portions of Adobe’s ‘FAQ’ regarding their acquisition of Macromedia, and I think it does a good job of translating corporate mumbo-jumbo to more understandable terms. Quite funny but probably also true in a sad way…
You think the current version of Acrobat Reader takes too long to launch, runs too slowly, and uses too much memory? You ain’t seen nothing yet.

Young people are particularly at risk from the rising depravity in society and much of the blame can be squarely placed at the door of the Internet. If you do not feel safe on the streets at night, what do you think it is like on the Information Superhighway?
If you can’t beat them hire them – This seems to be Apple’s new motto. The reason being, it has hired DVD Jon. The very same Jon, who’s broken into iTunes thrice giving them sleepless nights.
That’s right, it’s that time of the year again…
