Earth 2100 and FireFox
Earth 2100 is a look at what our planet would be like in the year 2100. In an unprecedented television and internet event, ABC News is asking you to help answer perhaps the most important question of our time — What will our world be like over the next one hundred years if we don’t act now to save our troubled planet?
It is also a game, they want us, to make videos of what our lives would be like in the years, 2015, 2050, 2070, and 2100. Your videos will be combined with the projections of top scientists, historians, and economists to form a powerful web–based narrative about the perils of our future. We will also select the most compelling reports to form the backbone of our two–hour primetime ABC News broadcast: Earth 2100, airing this fall. The deadline to send in your 1-3 minute videos of what is happening in the world in the future, is June 23rd. So if you want to participate, now will be the time to get cracking on your directorial debut.
FireFox 3 is about to be launched. *is giddy* Over 15,000 improvements. Not to mention they FINALLY fixed the ram hungry part of FireFox. So YAY!!!
They want to set a Guinness World Record by having the most software downloads in 24 hours. So they have a pledge up to dl it on Download Day June 17th. I'm game. ;D
Also last night I went messing with FireFox addons and finally got Adblock Plus.
I also added on Taboo (If you keep tons of tabs open because you want to continue reading them later, Taboo is for you. Taboo lets you save a page for later (taking a screenshot, and using the Session Saver code to remember scroll location and form fields).
Zotero (Zotero [zoh-TAIR-oh] is a free, easy-to-use Firefox extension to help you collect, manage, and cite your research sources.) It also has integration with Microsoft Word and Open Office. ;D
Flagfox is pretty cool, shows you the flag of the country where the server of the site your browsing is located and the ip address.
FoxyTunes allows you to play your media player (they have a HUGE list of which media players they support, 30 of them!) in your browser. It also allows you to find lyrics, covers, videos, bios, etc with just a little click on your browser.
StubbleUpon looks interesting.
