Firefox Wins Again!
After checking my blog statistics (and adding a counter), I discovered an exciting stastic: 30.4 % of my blog's vistitors are using Mozilla Firefox, and 30.1% are using MS Internet Explorer!
Of course, I use Firefox, but since unique vistors are only counted once, my usage barely affects these statistics. This definitely tells me that a lot of people are visiting with Firefox, even more than with MS Internet Explorer, in fact. The rest of the visits are unknown, but are probably search engine robots, crawlers, etc. Safari, the #3 browser is at 2.5% usage.
For all you who haven't yet been enlightened, Firefox is free browser, that is super easy to use, and is also safe and secure. A great way to avoid MSIE's security issues (and to avoid worms, viruses, spyware, etc.). Firefox also has many cool features like tabbed browsing. I highly recommend it to everyone. And, no, I haven't been payed to write this, I just love this great piece of software. It should be on every computer. So, to the majority of my bloggies: mad props guys!

Did you ever claim you were not a computer geek? Because if you did, you should recant now while you are ahead!!!!!!!!!!! =)
Thats ok, because it takes everyone to make the world rock.
Lunch break, and for the first day, I got smart and brought my laptop to work! Yipee! That means a) i can listen to music with headphones (jumpin' n' jivin!) and b) I can surf the net (since its illegal to do so for personal use on the work computer). I wish I could take the music with me to Ways and Means Committee.... and still get the info I need to brief the Senator! I hate that committee, but I'm very glad I'm being forced to go because I am actually learning a thing or two. Not that I could tell you right now. But I am. honest. At least it gets me out of the office and away from computer screens for two hours! huzzah! Later dude.

Did I make that claim? I admit, I am a nerd, and that is fine. That's an awesome quote, "it takes everyone to make the world rock.", very true.
That's awesome you have a laptop handy, and have some nice tunes. What sort of music do you like? I and the other American teacher are using music and lyrics in some classes, and the students love it.
Good luck with all the committees. (does that really have three double letters?) Glad you are learning so much. My brother never told me so many detail of it as I have read on your blog. Keep up the good work. Cheers!

Hi Dan! You are right, there are some Opera users out there. In the last 8 days, 13.6% of my visitors were Opera users. 50% were Firefox, which is excellent too.

What kind of music I like....
Well, it goes like this. I go through phases, just like I do with my preferences on historical periods. For awhile, I was an Egypitan Geek, then I was a Renaissance Geek, then I was a Medievalist Geek, then a pseudo-Byzantine Geek, then a Greek Geek (specifically Spartan geek).
I've gone through a Classical phase, where that was all I listened to. Of that genre, the Romantic was and is and always will be my favorite time-period of music... Dvorak, Tchaskovsky (ok, so I don't know yet how to spell his name, and I'm too lazy to look it up to make myself look like I know it all), Mahler, etcetcetc. Which I still like, but I'm not heavily into it right now. Last school year I went to almost every single Symphonic production at Whitman, but this year I had my dance class at the same time so I didn't get to go at all!
THen I went through a Country Music phase... I don't particularly like the old'school of country music, but more the modern pop/rock style where if you turn the song on, everyone doesn't fully realize its country. I also went through a folk/bluegrass stage... I actually play the Mandolin with my Dad, who incidentally plays numerous bluegrass instruments :).
Then I was forced to listen to oldies by my brother on the way to and from school, so we both got into that.
Now, I am in the "peaceful happy stage" of rock... I guess I don't know what to classify it as, because I'm not up to par with it, but I have really been enjoying artists like Jack Johnson (can't stress how much I love his music); or Norah Jones; Sarah McLachlan; I'm a mega-huge fan of Coldplay and U2; and I've also been on a huge latino dance kick as well--Salsa primarily! Also Middleastern music, curtesy of my roommate in Walla Walla, Janelle. She and I do our dancing in the living room with the shades pulled down ;).
I hate boy/girl bands, and I hate rock where the singers sing in that strange fake heavy/earthy tone, and all their music is the same with no imagination to it. It makes me angry where I just want to smash the stereo in... one of my roommates here in Olympia loves to listen to the group, "American Rejects" and I can't stress how horrible they are in my opinion. hate hate hate them. However, in that genre, I do find songs I like! Take for instance, Hubastank. THeir music sounds pretty much all the same (at leat on the one cd I bought) except for the song: The Reason. I love that song so very much! Love love love it. I bought the whole cd for that one song, and was disappointed by the rest of the music, but it was still worth it to have that one song.
I do realize I have no life today, which is why I was able to spend so long pondering that one stupid question you asked! :) haha! but what else should I do with my life? It is raining hard outside, and the wind is blowing really hard too.
