Top 10 most dangerous toy of all time.

Features : Radar Online



I gotta say those are some dangerous toys. Nothing to much on there from my day, other than the hair-eating Cabbage Patch Doll and the Sky Dancers. They could have included metal Tonka truck (I think it was Tonka) that I had when I was young. Thankfully my Dad had the foresight to put duct tape on the metal freshly-opened-soup-can-esque edges.



Bonus: They include a video clip of a commercial for one of the toys that uses the phrase "gay" and actually means "happy". That should put a date on it.



On a side note: A Google Image search for "Bag O' Glass" turns up nothing but pics of "bags o' marbles". There goes my SNL tie in. Can't seem to find that video on youTube either. What a shame.

Really now...

I was stumbling around in my FeedBurner stats the other day and found out that I do indeed have some readers/subscribers to my feed. You know what would be really great. Dropping a comment to let me know what you think. Thanks!!

Custom Search Engines in Firefox

Build Your Own Firefox Search Engine



I've stumbled across this O'Reilly hack a couple of times. The only time I can't seem to find it is when I'm looking for it. Well I finally found it again today and I decide to share it with you.



If you're a user of Firefox (and you should be!) then you're familiar with the search box in the upper right hand corner. The drop-down box has some useful search engines built in, and there's lots more that you can download from the Mozilla site. But what if the search engine you're looking for isn't on the list?



I ran into that problem with Google Images. Firefox has a built-in Google search extension, but nothing for directly searching the Images section. I use the Google Images search engine all the time to find new wallpapers, CD covers to embed in my MP3 collection, etc. With this hack, and just a few minutes, I had my very own Google Images search engine extension for Firefox. It even shows you how to track down the little icon that pops up in your URL bar and your Favorites list, and it adds it to your new search engine.



Enjoy!

new pics, trip to the carter center. to tired for caps.

yeah, new pics. i tried to post a bulletin about them (three times). but it didn't work. if you live in georiga and you haven't been to the carter center, you need to go. there are some buildings up there, and i have no idea what goes on in there. but, the gardens and fountain that surrounds those mystery buildings are really great. here's a shot of the most beautiful thing there. isn't she gorgeous? all mine :)
