Nothing annoys me more than having new features added to applications and not having the ability to optionally control said “feature”. In my opinion Firefox 3 is guilty of this. I do not enjoy the new tab button that is placed next to the browser tabs in Firefox 3. There is no good way to disable the button from the preferences or even through the about:config panel.
There is however a simple plugin that allows you to disable the new tab button with ease.

Craftsmanship at it’s finest. Words cannot describe how badly I want one of these. Pure titanium build, precision machined, perfectly balanced, and amazingly aesthetically pleasing. Did I mention you can spark it on the ground as well? You can do that with any titanium, but what sets the Sovereign apart from other titanium yoyos is the price. The One Drop Sovereign is estimated to go for $170 US. Some people might think that’s expensive, but for a titanium, that’s a VERY good price, an amazing feat actually. Most titaniums go from around $399 to $600 US. One Drop managed to make the Sovereign affordable.
That is one of the reasons why I love the company so much and the reason why I love the guys behind One Drop. They really bring back what yoyoing is supposed to be about. With their great attitudes, outlook on life and the hobby, the One Drop guys are just all around great people. The philosophy of the open company just strikes a chord with me. One Drop represents everything I believe in, in yoyoing. That’s why I am dedicated to them for the rest of my yoyoing career. I cannot describe in text how One Drop makes me feel. To me, they are what I have been wanting out of the community for the last 14 years that I have been throwing.
I hope to add the Sovereign to my collection. I know it’s going to be a blast to throw!
Mad love guys.

Today I want to start a new editorial type post. I am not guaranteeing any updates at any time intervals and I am not guaranteeing that this will make it any further than the first post. I just finished catching up on season six of House, and once again I am absolutely floored and blown away. I have to applaud the acting especially on the part of Hugh Laurie, also must applaud the writers of this series. My humble opinion is that this could quite possibly be the best drama series running on broadcast television, and is of a better quality of what I have been able to watch via an over the air antenna in the past.
Let me preface this all by saying I find myself drawn to cult low budget films and series quite often even if their episodes turn into cookie cutter dramas where the proponents and issues faced are the only difference in a monotonous plot of repetitive oh no what will we do drama, Jericho anyone? Don’t get me wrong I loved the series Jericho but we all must face facts that every episode had the same monotonous plain as the nose on my face plot. House has the same basic monotonous plot as far as patients go and a variability of the things that may happen, however the underlying more dramatic plot that bolsters the series. Also an interesting new drama that I caught just bits and pieces of that atleast piqued my interest a bit is Trauma. I caught just enough that I want to watch it again, but not enough to analyze the acting or the content.
