It was a September night and needed some sauce. Not just any sauce we needed Tikka Masala. They reason we wanted the sauce was friend was over and wanted some because they could not get it where they lived. So the word was you could get it at Target. We go to a Target close to the house find where the sauce should be and no sauce. We ask the a target employee, which was very nice and told us how to find it other stores in town have the sauce. A quick check with the service desk and we find one Target close by has one jar and one Target across town has 12. We call the close Target to check and according to them they have one jar. I make the call and we go to the close one. We get there and no sauce. No space for the sauce on the shelves. We ask an employee and he has no idea. 20 minutes later and across town we hit the jackpot. 12 jars of Tikka Masala. We take 6 and go. Funny thing is I still don't know if it is any good. Guess I will have to cook some chicken :).

Famous People Punching Steve
If you want to make it big on the Internet with photography, you have to have a theme. I guess. Anyway, this guy is no photographer, and the lighting and framing are all wrong, but the shots are still striking nonetheless. Go to Famous People Punching Steve, and I'll guarantee that "You'll laugh 'til you stop laughing!*" (tm)
*Assuming that you started laughing.

The Luke Arm
The Luke Arm is an advanced prosthetic device that is, um, head and shoulders above the rest. You can watch videos about it at medgadget. I only watched part 2, but it provided a nifty and simplified version of how it works. People, listen: This thing can pick up grapes! There was another guy, who had no arms but two Luke arms, and was able to disassemble and reassemble a gun, and then fire it. All of this with minimal training too!
It may be a long video (almost 15 minutes) but there are some really neat things going on.

Firefox tweaks I can use
Personally, I use tips 9 and 10 from this guy's list of 28 Coolest Firefox About:Config Tricks.
Trick 9 is about how to handle JavaScript pop-ups, which differs ever so slightly from the normal method of pop-ups, I guess. Whatever. Ever since Firefox got the ability to open the list of tabs that were in the previous session, I was always a little ticked when I found out there was yet another Firefox window open that had an advertisement in it. Well, no more, Paco!
Trick 10 is useful for me because it enables spell check in all fields, not just the multi-line ones, and I am a horrible speller.
