Today Firefox celebrates their 50,000,000th download on Spread Firefox.

Congratulations Firefox!

As a contest, they’re giving away minted coins to celebrate. I really had my hopes up when I created a special character in City of Heroes MMORPG called "spreadfirefox " for www.spreadfirefox.com. Sadly, they haven’t accepted my entry yet as a winner. I really want one of those coins! I’m not sure how backlogged they are, but when people are frosting cakes and winning coins, I certainly think my idea is well worth one too. I suppose we’ll wait and see.

I don’t even know where to start. Another month has gone by and I haven’t updated my own personal web page. Surprise surprise! True, I’ve been busy, but not horribly busy. I suppose my lack of interest in my personal website is due to the fact it pretty much sucks. The content is good (at least I think so) but the site design lacks so many features that I want in my personal website.

That said, I’m redesigning! – for the 500,000th time.

At least this time I have some goals. May 1st marks the May 1st Reboot. I’m not joining the project because I’m not really sure I can finish before May 1st at this time. Besides, after the reboot, I may be able to feed off some of the old and new designs I’ll be reading about all over the web. I’m currently gathering ideas from sites like that of my friend Jeff Croft, and CSS Zen Garden, Simplebits, etc.

Secondly, I’m going to demo a trial version of Westciv’s Style Master CSS editor. If I really like it, I’m probably going to buy it. It’s going to be extra cheap compared to the price Adobe is going to jack up Macromedia products since they got bought out. Hopefully we’ll see some good of this merger. I’m not sure what to expect.
