I was wondering why my Firefox 2.0.0.6 was running slow (the past few versions have been a little slow too) and I figured it must be an add-on.  Turns out I was right.  After I removed AddBlock+ my surfing has been much faster.
I think having to check every image on a page to see if it should be blocked was just slowing everything down.
I get a few more adds, but a much faster experience.
I still use Flashblock to make sure I don’t get the annoying moving picture/sound ads, and that is good enough for me.

The children in this neighborhood play what I like to call “rule ball”.
It seems to be game like sandlot baseball, but with a few key differences.
The game still has a bat and a ball, and I think bases.
How the game is played a pitcher throws a ball at a batter. The batter hits the ball and then they argue over the rules for 8 to 12 minutes. This goes on for a few hits, but by then, the arguing gets to the point one of the parents comes out and yells at the kids for yelling at each other.
Kids, it’s just a game. There are enough rules when you are an adult.
When Glenn gets older I will make sure he has at least a few care free years before life crushes his spirit.

I created a new page with all of Glenn’s Photos, you can link to it above.
I also changed all the videos on the video page to YouTube videos.

Small changes, but I hope it makes it easier to navigate.

One of my few hobbies is digital photography, as if you can’t tell. There is more to life than Glenn Photos, as cute as he is. I actually updated my daily photo page to show a contact sheet of what I have most recently downloaded.

I’ll update that page each day I download photos from my camera. I take walks at lunch almost every day, so you should see an odd variety of photos. Be sure to check out the steel cicada photos. That thing was over 4 feet long!
