Mozilla (maker of Firefox) has a new application called Raindrop, which will try to organize all of the messages you get from email and all of the social networking sites you belong to. It sounds pretty cool, but I can't figure out how to download and install it, yet.

Here is an article on it ...

Here is the song, "Raindrops", by Basement Jaxx ...

I thought this was a cool article ...

I have always thought Firefox was the best browser! I'm glad I am not the only one. ;)

This website should be able to tell you more about this subject soon ...

I discovered Firefox Personas today. They are really cool themes that completely change how your browser looks. I chose the "Fireflies" Persona to go with my Noia 2.0 (eXtreme) browser theme, and the combination is really cool. I think they have tons of personas to choose from.

Noia 2.0 (eXtreme) theme (for the Firefox 3.5 browser)

Here is what my browser looks like now ...

I made a mix for a friend that included MGMT, Depeche Mode, Empire of the Sun, King Brain, and a little bit of Rye Rye (see below). The remix of Depeche Mode's "Peace" is really cool ...

M.I.A. has begun her NEET empire with a simple webpage that is really cool to look at. NEET is M.I.A.'s own personal record label. I think she may have used it to help distribute the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack, but don't quote me on that. She is definitely using it to market her protege, Rye Rye. Below is a screenshot of the website, but you need to go to the actual site to experience the magic of the graphics (you'll see what I mean).

I think "NEET" stands for "Not in Education, Employment or Training", but I don't know if that has been officially confirmed. Here is the YouTube video of Rye Rye's song "Bang" ...

My favorite song or remix of Rye Rye's is "Hardcore Girls", which she did with The Count and Sinden. Here is the Don Rimini remix (which I have posted before) ...

This is a pretty neat chart that shows you how quickly people all over the world are downloading Firefox 3.5.

I know this is something only extreme tech nerds will appreciate, but you have to appreciate just on a communication/technology/business level how quickly one product can sort of infest itself on the world.

Here is the article at TechCrunch that led me to the chart ...

I am hoping Firefox and Mozilla will continue to take a bite out of Internet Explorer and Microsoft's market share because I still believe Internet Explorere is one of the worst browsers. Also, I love Firefox's add-ons.

Firefox is still my favorite browser. Sometimes I will try out other browsers, like Google's Chrome, just to see what else is out there, but I always end up coming back to Firefox.

The latest version, Firefox 3.5, is available for download here ...

I am just posting this so I will remember to read it later. =)

Noia 2.0 (extreme) is my favorite theme for Firefox. I always used it for Firefox 2, and it has recently been updated for Firefox 3. Here is what it looks like ...

Download load it by going to the webpage for it ...

If you are wanting to watch a movie with the Netflix movie viewer, and you are using the Firefox 3 browser, the movie viewer will not work in the browser since it only works with Internet Explorer. However, you can install the IE tab add-on into Firefox 3, right-click on the movie's link, and choose the option, "open with IE tab", or something like that. Then, it will work perfectly and you will still be using Firefox 3 instead of Internet Explorer (the worst browser ever!).

Here is a link to the IE tab add-on for Firefox 3 ...

Here are two funny YouTube videos that feature Joan Rivers . . .

  Cliff Richard is also in the above video.

Here is a video of Joan Rivers on the British version of "The View". She talks some smack about Russell Crowe, and she doesn't realize that they don't have a 5-second delay for the purpose of censorship on the show ...

I hate censorship and love the Freedom of Speech so I think it is great that Joan Rivers did this. Russell Crowe probably is an asshole. I hate his movies.

Here are two new (to me) M.I.A. remixes by Instinct (MySpace for Instinct) ...

The two photos of M.I.A. were taken by Mike Schreiber (and altered by me, of course).

You can now download the official version of Firefox 3 by going here ...

Mozilla was having some trouble earlier today, but now it seems like everything is running smoothly.

Google has updated its toolbar for Firefox 3. I love the Google Toolbar because you can add little buttons to it that will take you to sites like Wikipedia, Amazon, Gmail, and IMDB.com ...

Download the latest version of Google Toolbar (it will update itself when you restart Firefox 3 or maybe before then)

Here is some music I listened to today ...

Another song from the Amores Perros soundtrack, this song is called "De Perros Amores" by Control Machete ...

I read about an artist/band called Ladyhawke on the music blog, Arjan Writes, today. Ladyhawke's song, "Paris Is Burning", is pretty catchy and it slightly reminds me of Gary Numan's song, "Cars".

  Here is a remix of the song, and it is labeled "Peaches Remix", but I don't know how accurate that is ...

Here is the video for Ladyhawke's "Paris is Burning" ...

I love how she wears a Snoopy shirt in the video!

"Ladyhawke" is also the name of a movie from 1985 with Matthew Broderick, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Rutger Hauer. I have never seen it all the way through. I think there is a Canadian rock band called "Ladyhawk", but don't get them confused with the above singer!

Here is the trailer for the movie, "Ladyhawke" ...

 
Here is "Cars" by Gary Numan ...
