We had a great time at the Flicks screening. I really enjoyed meeting all the Firefox fans that showed up to the expo floor booth. All of the community-related sessions I attended were informative and fun. All and all, a great experience.

The Interns and I, along with some friends at the Firefox booth started our quest for a plot of land for the crop circle project.

We've got some good leads but nothing definite yet. If you're in the pacific northwest and you have or know someone who has about an acre of any type of cereal that we could purchase and use for our crop circle project, please let me know.

Thanks.

I arrived in Porland yesterday afternoon and I'm blogging today from the conference.

Once again, Tim gave a nice nod to Firefox in his O'Reilly Radar keynote. This time the focus was Firefox as a platform and the proliferation of Firefox extension. Tim's been a big supporter of Firefox for quite a while now and we couldn't have a better ally.

update: I missed Mike's Firefox platform talk yesterday.

I'll try to check in a few times over the next couple of days and let you all know about the goings on here.

If any of you have some spare cash and would like to thank me for all of my blogging these last few years, you could get me one of these. Thanks in advance.

There were a couple of commenters who objected to my use of the word "saved" and its religious connotations in my earlier post about World Firefox Day.

This link is just for you ;-)

Thanks to reader and blogger, Alan, and the good folks at AutoHotKey I may now have an decent solution to my mac keyboard problems.

Actually, I don't need rescuing. But I'm sure that you have one friend, family member, classmate, or co-worker that does.

We've just launched a new program that will make it super-easy for each and every Firefox user to rescue one more person from the pain and perils of surfing the Web with an outdated and unsafe browser.

This new site, World Firefox Day, will guide you through the simple steps of 1) selecting one person (and only one person) who needs to be saved, 2) inviting them to download and install Firefox, and 3) registering to have both of your names listed and celebrated in an interactive display inside of the Firefox 2 program.

Like many of you, we are very concerned with spam and that's why we've limited this program to saving just one individual. This way it won't turn into some zealous spamfest. (You can do that on your own -- just kidding ;-)

So now's the time to pick that one person that you know would most benefit from moving to Firefox, head over to www.worldfirefoxday.com and help them find a better Web experience.

"Firefox is wonderful. It's up there with chocolate and sex on the grand scale of great things about being alive."
