Stumble on.

Thanks to my buddy M!key, I've taken to Firefox with a passion (sort of). One of the cool extensions I've found is called Stumble on. As the name suggests, you configure it to suit your tastes, such as humour, christianity, political and countless other themes and Stumble on will stumble around the net and find you web site that meets your criteria. You can then rate the site, bookmark it etc. Very random way to look around, I love it.

Bow and Arrow is one example of the sort of random things I've stumbled upon. Shoot an arrow straight up in the air and see what happens when it lands on you.

Also loaded the Wikipedia search extension which is quite handy.

In other news, I'm watching Mythbusters now and fair dinkum, I can't believe what they are doing tonight. They have another remote control car situation and it has been running out of control. The first time Adam was in the car, the second time it was heading for the bay. The point of the stunt? Whatever it is, they haven't made it work, yet.

Ready for round two?

You bet. The arm chair is ready for the all night sessions (2 or 3 nights worth) and there'll be raucous renditions of Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi going round the lounge room.

Now that you've become a Firefox convert, check out the Sage extension which is an RSS feed. Very nifty!

I've got a stanadlone RSS reader which keeps an eye on xml feeds and blogs, so I know when my favourites post a new post (did I just say that?). It stays minimized and pops up when there is an update. Saves on surfing time.

Is that what you use it for?

Nice work mate - now I know how you always seem to chip in with a comment only minutes after I post! Good work with Firefox, You'll never go back!

(I'm also secretly proud that I've been the instigator of a non-sport oriented post: release yourself Clokeeey and spread your wings!) ;-)

Pops up with an update? That, I like! Sage is like a list of bookmarks, you refresh it and it tells you which blogs have updated. If it weren't for it, I'd never be able to keep up!

Ditto to m!key's comment - let's see more of the real Clokeeeey :).

Thanks guys, I will delve into new tech stuff as I find it, but Clokeeey is very guarded and reveals very little.

In keeping with the twitter theme.
