The new spell check feature in Firefox 2.0 is wonderful! Like Jay Small writes in his blog, this feature has been a welcomed addition to the software from the discussions around our office too.
I noticed yesterday that some of my favorite plug-ins are now being upgraded for the new version. Yeah!

Over the years, I’ve started at least a half-dozen blogs but have let them all die the slow and painful death where after 3 weeks of not posting… You know the story. (My favorite was one called “Tactfully Sarcastic” where I seemed to always knock on stupid buzz words that the media industry seemed to be hyping at the time.)
In bursts, I seem to go and avidly post to del.icio.us and/or Flickr. But both of those sites, as great as they are at what they do, lack something.
