short takes

I don't (yet) use Firefox as my main browser, but the password-managing extention mentioned in Security Mentor sure sounds handy.

Who will be eaten first? Not your usual Chick tract.

Today's letter from Rohrich VW informed me that it's time for scheduled maintenance and I should call them at my convenience to schedule it with them. I won't actually do it, but the candidate response that brought a smile to my lips was "my investors inform me that the time is not yet right for that diabolical ice-skating project, so I will have to decline". I do get my scheduled maintenance, but those guys are not going to touch my car again.

On a more serious note, with all the bad news about what's going on in the wake of Katrina, especially how the problem was foreseen and yet the government diverted most of the levee funding to Iraq (link from brokengoose), it's great to see that people from all over the country are offering crash space and sometimes travel assistance (link from browngirl).

I blame Dani, who in turn blames a mutual friend. :-)

Yay! It's back! (The original site (http://www.howardhallis.com/bis/cthulhuchick/) had been taken down a while ago. I'm glad someone has mirrored it, but I hope it doesn't bode ill, legally, for the creator....)
