This my tumblelog. It's kinda like a blog but with short-form, posts about stuff I like and dislike in the world. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
Some of my favorite services are Dropbox and Glyde. Go try 'em out!
This has to be my favorite Google logo to date. Or maybe its the PacMan one. I’ll call it a tie.

Quite amusing.
Can you say “Amazing”?
Safari 5 and extensions
When Safari 5 introduced extensions, it gave me a compelling reason to try it out. I have been a diehard Firefox user since mid 2005 when I discovered the browser during my Windows days, and since it was cross platform, I happily continued using Firefox on my first MacBook. With the recent releases of Firefox 3.6 becoming slower and more unstable, I began seeking out a new browser, but that’s for another post.
Here are the current extensions that I find incredibly useful for Safari 5:
AdBlock: The first extension I install in any browser to clean up the web.
SafariRestore: Restores your previous Safari sessions on startup.
Gentle Status Bar: By far the best looking and behaving fade-away status bar for Safari. Sure, it may not have any options, but it doesn’t need them.
NoMoreiTunes: Prevents iTunes from launching on preview pages.
A Cleaner YouTube: Makes watching videos an eye-pleasing experience.
YouTube Wide: Widens YouTube videos without the extra click. Absolutely excellent when paired with A Cleaner YouTube.
FaceBlock: Simply blocks Facebook ads.
