In which the middle-aged Peacenik mouths off about War Drones--and all the other things that make him cranky.

Mr Mahatma--who is a Mr in real life--lives in the valleys of Southern California with his wife, a herd of Dears, and an impressive collection of books. Pnorny!

Little Mr Mahatma

Firefox
Get Firefox. I'm anot asking you, I'm telling you. It's that good and I speak from experience. Internet Explorer, thanks to the ethical position of Microsoft, remains on my computer just because but it's shit and I use only as a last resort for those sites that still have their heads up their asses. I've used Netscape for years but it's become bloated and slow. So I looked at Opera and I liked it. Fast, nice tabs but I like to migrate my bookmarks over a few computers. Opera couldn't really handle that. So over to Mozilla - nice, big, fat Mozilla - and I didn't like it. Nor did I like Firefox pre-1.0 version. Neither handled tabs the way I liked.

But - damn - Firefox 1.0 is it. I can tweak the configuration or add plugins to do what I want. It's damn fast and secure, and a relatively small download. Highly recommended if my opinion is worth a damn.

Thanksgiving
On tap for the long weekend: eating, visiting relatives, eating, watching Harrius Potterus 3 (don't ask), eating, fixing the house, and eating. Worst part is that I'm not a big fan of turkey and especially not stuffing. Whoever came up with stuffing was a sick bastard (or bitch). "Hey, let's take the floor sweepings, put them in the turkey, and watch people eat it!!!"

And I haven't quite figured out what Thanksgiving is really for: Is it that we're thankful that we wiped out the Indians before they wiped up out? Is it that we're thankful the family can get together once a year and giggle as the stuffing is passed around? What is it?

Well, have a Happy Thanksgiving y'all!
