here's life

So, I'm at this friend's house with some people from church, and we've bbq'ed some stuff, eaten, played a game, and some people are downstairs playing a bongo drum video game, others are upstairs, talking, and watching videos on the internet using the TV. Sure, it's not the best way to spend an evening, but it has a lot more interaction, and therefore is better, than zoning out for an hour and a half watching a movie. It's also better than dropping acid (even a face-shield and lab apron won't fully protect you from the broken pyrex and splash damage!)
So, anyway, if you are watching Mario Bros. Matrix remixes, the advertizements that are targeting your demographic range from beer-ad graphic styles to outright softcore. This is a little awkward when it is a mixed-company church group. Granted, maybe it is a little more suprising to me since I never see ads. So, I repeatedly make comments about Firefox until I was probably getting annoying. I'm not trying to be a nuisence, I just think we can do better than this. He was using IE 7, which has tabs--and admirable leap for the browser monster. But the ads are so annoying, taking up screen space, causing information dilution, and just not necessary. So, get Firefox, install Adblock, and reclaim your web experience, making it safe(er) to watch a guy playing a guitar, using a spoon in his mouth for a slide.
