The telephone is being replaced by cell phones... and talking on the cell phone is slowly being replaced by txt/pic/video messaging.

Of course that'll all be outdated when those cybernetic brain chips i've been waiting on comes out.

And yes, Bogging is a fad. Who wants to get their car all dirty anyway?

Bogging is a fad? Sure, and so is the telephone. :)

bah. blogging is a fad. I'm still waiting for a cybernetic chip that I can put in my brain to host a web page with all my thoughts.

Oh man, I'd have to have severe encryption for some parts of my brain... and then some sort of adult content warning on other parts. I am, after all, a guy.

Yeah, I know...it's inexcusable. :) The important thing is that I know now.

Oh, and by the way, I blame you. If you had a blog and had posted about it before, I would have known already.

Your geek points just went down, dude. As much as you know about firefox, you're just now finding out about using / to search?

Well, I should point out that if you're looking at the source for a page through firefox, you can also use the / to search (same deal).

It can, however, be annoying because I often work on web pages using a text editor that doesn't have the / search functionality (when I'm forced to work within windows and not a unix terminal)... so I often accidentally type "/mysearch" into a file somewhere before I realize what I'm doing.
