I just switched over to Firefox, by gum. I’ve had earlier versions installed just to check cross-browser issues, but I’ve never really used it up this point. I’m very impressed so far. Tons of extensions you can download. My favorite extension so far is a weather plugin that runs now on the that info bar at the bottom of the browser screen. Oh, and no pop up ads.

In other news, CNN’s Crossfire is cancelled. Appropriately enough, I learned this from Jon Stewart while watching the Daily Show.

Radical historian Howard Zinn was Jon’s guest. God bless that old man. If you haven’t picked up a copy of A People’s History of the United States, get to the store and that right soon. It’s America’s history as told by its underdogs. Perfect bathroom readings, so no excuse.

The site redesign continues, and thank you for your patience. Still on the to-do list are the email subscription page, the new recommended reading list, and adding the sidebar to the individual post pages.
