Let me just say that every store is different and this may not be true about yours but the Zales in the Ridgedale Mall (Minneapolis) is not a good Zales to go to. Why?

It’s amazing how one letter can make a huge difference to some people. Over at Apple they change the iPod Photo to iPod photo. I guess to keep everything under the iPod name and not confuse some. I bet they spent a lot of money re-branding posters, boxes, etc with the lower case p. Amazing.

Well my extended weekend was pretty good. We went to the Mall of America on Saturday and the traffic was horrible. They had both ramps closed because they were supposedly full and there were traffic cops at a few lights but not the ones that really needed it. We were stuck at one light though four intervals and we were second in line! People were getting stuck in intersections and others were going in reverse though intersections. Just to many people with horribly timed traffic lights. I think there were a bunch of Iowa Hawkeye fans in town and that added to the number of people coming but the Mall of America needs to get that problem fixed and soon. We’ve never had any issues before with traffic.

It’s sad to think but Firefox may have a pretty big issue. I had a theory a few days ago that Firefox got slower the longer the browser was open and someone has proven it. It’s not scientific or anything, but it could be a real problem. Check out the findings.

It’s warm. It’s cold. It’s warm. It’s cold. That’s how it’s been around here for weeks. After hitting 60 just a few days ago, this morning it was 23 and today I don’t think we hit 40. Now I don’t mind the cold but lets get some snow! So far, that doesn’t appear to be panning out. To bad to because it’d really help the holiday mood. Our plants however have no mood going on. I was surprised they made it into November but last night they sat out and froze to death. Oh well. They survived a good year. Now bring on the snow!!

Well Firefox 1.0 has been out for a day and Firefox websites are starting to get back to normal. Most were slammed yesterday by people trying to get their hands on the new browser. A victim of their own success I guess. But that’s good in a way. It shows the high amount of interest in this web browser and I can’t wait to see the download numbers.

Firefox 1.0 is now available. The browser has finally made it to a milestone and I can’t wait to see the feedback that it gets. When I upgraded I had no issues. Just had to re-install SpellBound spell check as it doesn’t seem to be able to go from one version to the next. No biggie. Firefox 1.0 also has a new start page for those of you who go to the default Firefox one. I guess they partnered with Google for the new Firefox Google Start Page. Pretty sweet.

The Dr Dish Drill Doctor has been released! It’s a flash application that lets you create and save interactive basketball plays. Just move your players around the court and place them where you want. Also move the ball and Dr. Dish basketball machine. Once in place, set the position and then move them again. After a few positions have been set you can then play the play you designed and watch as it comes to live! I created this application while working at Artropolis and I’m very excited for it’s release. Keep in mind it’s being tested as it goes live so if there are bugs please report them. Enjoy!!

Well Halloween is officially over now, the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror as been on. I’d have to say that the Treehouse of Horror episodes are quite odd and very random, yet fun. I do prefer the 30 minute episodes way better though. Afterworlds we switched back to Extreme Home Makeovers on ABC and what they do is amazing. Tonight they re-did a home for a couple where were def and had one blind child and one normal child. They did so many amazing things so that the def parents could sign from any room and everything had labels for the blind kid. They defiantly deserve it and it was an amazing show.
