How can there be bad kittens? I look around at the shredded piles of toilet paper and I see only good kittens who sometimes do bad things. That said, it is pretty hard to shake the sense that Tangerine is truly a bad, bad kitten pretending at occasional goodness -- what's with all the glowing demon-eyes in the photos!!

FireFox 3.0

Oh, and don't forget that today is release day for FireFox 3.0.0.0.   Or was it yesterday?   Anyhoo....

Here is where you go to get FireFox 3.0.    Cool, eh?

It is hard to be cool like young kids.   My niece, who is in her early 20s, writes me to tell me that she wears mini-skirts with black underpants and fishnet stockings (I imagine that the stockings have rather too many extra holes and tears in them).   This is cool.    Apparently.   I cannot verify these assertions of coolness, because I have not been provided any cool photos, despite my accidental, unfortunate, and thoroughly unintentional underwriting of this fashion debacle.   I'm not cool enough, I guess.  

But, if we cannot be cool, we can (and should!) always aspire to geek-cool.

If you act immediately, you can download a copy of FireFox 3 to the machine upon which you are reading this blog right now!   Open a new window (Bro -- you'll have to reboot and restart AOL) or click here to get you some of that geek-cool chic right now.   

The download is fast and easy, and you'll be able to strut into the office tomorrow, all geek-cool.   Toss off a remark to that Clark Kent type about how much you like the new security in FireFox 3 -- "security seems tighter" you nod and affirm knowingly to whatever Clark Kent says.  If Mr. Kent really fires up the geek-talk, you try "you're sure FireFox's new features are not all just web 2.0 crapola?!?!?" then ask his advice on getting a Mac.   Geeks always have strong opinions on Mac's (way pro or mega-con).  He will be apoplectic at your faux-geek remarks (don't think you're fooling him) and he will talk for hours, allowing you to slip away unnoticed.   But everyone else in the office will be in fear of you, because you went toe-to-toe with Clark for 1.57 minutes of Geek-speak and because you have the newest FireBear or TyreFox or whatever.

Of course, I just downloaded FireFox 3 for my Mac.   So you're not as cool as me.   ("Hi, I'm a Mac... and I'm PC")  However, my poor Mac's fan is entirely clogged with kitten fur, so it runs slow and hot all the time, just like your uncool PC.

Btw: Now that I've got FireFox 3, nothing seems any different.   Except that briefly, momentarily my Mac has fled the BotFarm.   I guess I DO like the new security features in FireKat 3.   Meow!
