Netscape.com

We took over the main page last night. No more beta. before the URL to get to us, and there is a large morning rush going on, but things should settle down soon enough.
This of course is wonderful news to hear on our launch day.

“P.S. you look like a dirty kid.”

*sigh* Don’t you just love it when someone puts something as magnificently beautiful as this in a post script to a comment in a thread? I do. Especially, when it is about Mike “Potter” Propst. That guy rules.
ps—Congrats on getting hitched, Mike!

Open House

We had an open house this afternoon. It’s odd to think a bunch of strangers were coming into our apartment, our home, while we were away today, critiquing the place, just as we’ve been critiquing all the places we’ve been looking at over the past several weeks.
I wish we knew how many people stopped by. [...]

I didn’t call it “Lousey”

…as they say here. All I did was state my misgivings about the story. Then I polled the audience about what they thought. Also, it’s interesting that the Consumerist decided to elipses over the part where I state that I’m personally on the fence about whether it is real or fake. Very convenient for their [...]

Our new Netscape

I’m pooped. It’s been a marathon run the past several weeks leading up to the beta launch of our new Netscape, and I am relieved and overjoyed that I can now tell all my friends, family, and any person I damn well please that the top secret project I’ve been working on is Netscape. I [...]

Man, he got this wrong…

…but he did correct himself. This was just a glitch in the system writing the comment to another story. All fixed now, thanks to our kickass developers.
In any case, I’m now a tag on Valleywag. Great.

Day 2 and Google Browser Sync is still giving me this really annoying message.
Am I over-using the internet, Google? Is that why you want me to stay offline?
I’m not doing it. Get my data back up, so I [...]

What?
Grr… and here I was thinking that Google Browser Sync was going to be different from .Mac sync.

Recital Day, 2006, The First

We’re up and prepping to leave for Long Island. Today is the first of Kristin’s two dance recitals of the year (she teaches dance out on the Island).

Holy walk down memory lane, batman! I keep forgetting I have tons of little sites spread across the internets. I started going through old bookmarks and found this geocities status site that I keep forgetting is out there with my little flash animations *and* I found a friends only livejournal [...]

Firefox now officially my favorite browser on both the Mac and the PC

So, I, for quite some time now, have been a diehard Safari fan and supporter. I used Firefox too, but only as my secondary browser. That has changed this week with Google’s release of Google Browser Sync. It is amazing. I can now sync, quickly and easily, my bookmarks, passwords, and even my last set [...]
