It was with great hesitation, or at the very least, a hesitant two seconds before the actual clicking of the mouse, that I downloaded Firefox, the new version of Mozilla's open-source based web browser program. I was already familiar with Mozilla. It's what I use to blog. Some of you mac users may have already noticed that for some reason or other, Safari just doesn't seem to like Blogger's interface, making posting, editing, etc. terribly difficult. And so Mozilla was my sweatpants. My nerdy reading glasses. It had a specific function that it served, but otherwise, it's very existence was ignored, if not outright denied.

Note: Let's make one thing clear - I have a macintosh. I am not a 'Mac User'. It is not becoming of an Optimuscriminal to 'identify' with a platform. As a matter of fact, Optimuscrime does not support Mac's efforts to promote their system or it's users as any sort of 'fringe' or 'creative outside'.

But Firefox. Ah, my sweet Firefox. My love for you is so new, yet so very very pure. This browser has brought out in me, a nerd so deeply buried, I had almost forgotten he existed. I've found myself excitedly downloading new extensions. (An FTP client built into my browser? Could this all be a wonderful, wonderful dream?) With so many changeable preferences, etc, this is more exciting than when IE first hit the scene back in early highschool. Yeah, that's right. I just admitted to being excited about Microsoft in my naive youth. Deal with it. You were too.

Advanced pop-up blocking, better security, advanced search features, and... wait for it... wait for it..... Tabs! Yeah, fucking tabbed browsing, fuckers! I'll happily admit that I haven't been so excited about such a simple innovation in years. I love tabs! I would withstand firey torture in defense of tabs! Or something.

And speaking of firey torture: I finally saw Hell House last night. Fucking terrifying!
