Sarah pointed this out to me today. Nifty. A Firefox named Ron Ron at a park named Asa :-)
Posted by asa at May 23, 2005 05:21 PMSo that's where the NYT Ad money really went... you named a park with a Firefox after yourself.
/me wants a monkey park named after himself.
Posted by: Robert Accettura on May 23, 2005 07:18 PMYou know what's scary? How many organization abbreviations are ASA.
A few of the best:
American Society of Anesthesiologists
Acoustical Society of America
American Society on Aging
Archery Shooters Association
Australian Shipowners Association
American Soybean Association
And don't miss asa.com!
And your blog is only hit #22 :-O

Posted by: Donny on May 23, 2005 08:12 PMBecause he forgot to read Mozillazine regularly like he said he did.

Futa at Chiba Zoo and Ron-Ron at Asa Zoo?! Do I have to spell out the metaphor for you? The animal is evolving in parallel with the software! 6% is the equivalent of brief bipedality--soon these creatures will have voice control and SVG in their teletummies.
Posted by: Spewey on May 23, 2005 08:31 PMYou need a country that shares your name. X-D
Posted by: minghong on May 23, 2005 09:27 PMWow, coincidences like that don't come along very often!
Asa, you know what to do! Contact the Kyodo News and try get the rights to use it for your upcoming Firefox 2.0 campaign, and subtitle it "Goodbye, Internet Explorer". :-D

Not 'A B C' A.
'a girl' and 'NASA' A.

I have visited this zoo. Here is famous for breeding of Japanese Giant Salamander.
Japanese Giant Salamander is the biggest Amphibia in the earth.
now if it only was a deer park the firefox lived in and not a zoo it would have been just perfect :p
Posted by: testboy on May 24, 2005 01:58 AMhttp://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/japananimalpandaoffbeat has another story about it. i found the link on spreadfirefox.com.
Posted by: testboy on May 24, 2005 02:15 AMHaha that must mean something. :) I didn't know firefox were that tall!

The chinese characters 安佐 are also spookily appropriate: 安 is safety, relaxation and good value, 佐 is assistant. The one who helps us to security, is that not Asa?
Posted by: James Kilfiger on May 24, 2005 05:38 AMPerhaps we should name the next alpha "Asa Park" ;-)
Posted by: Fireball on May 24, 2005 07:07 AMThat picture is frickin' adorable. :)
Posted by: Grey Hodge on May 24, 2005 09:58 AMI wouldn't trust those ???'s for one second, They look evil.
Pretty funny.
"Haha that must mean something. :) I didn't know firefox were that tall!"
It looks like a giant raccoon to me. :D
Forget "The Ocho" for 1.5 - Asa Park is the way to go.
