Stuff I'm looking at today: Tab Candy, Sustainable Prefabs, Julian Koenig and Chrome Experiments

Firefox Tab Candy
Mozilla's new "Tab Candy" seems like an awesome fix to the problem of crammed tab browsing (the Boyan always gets mad at me for having a million tabs open), but the question still remains, "Is is as fast or faster than chrome?"

This American Life: 383 Origin Story
If you've been watching Mad Men some of this story might sound familiar. Real life Mad Men fighting for recognition for some of America's most iconic advertising campaigns on This American Life.

"TAL producer Sarah Koenig tells the story of her father, Julian Koenig, the legendary advertising copywriter whose work includes the slogan “Timex takes a licking and keeps on ticking” and Volkswagen’s “Think Small” ads. For years Sarah has heard her dad accuse a former partner of stealing some of his best ideas, but until recently she never paid much attention.Then she started asking her dad for details of this fight for his legacy, and what she learned surprised her.

Young adults not on twitter? You don't say...

I knew I wasn't the only one.

From cnet:

While 99 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds have profiles on social networks, only 22 percent use Twitter, according to a new survey from Pace University and the Participatory Media Network.

This is consistent with what some observers have said about Twitter's recent push from early-adopter territory into the mainstream: that it's catching on with a slightly older demographic than the teenagers and college students who formed Facebook's initial core.

I hate to say I told you so.

I don't need it, but I WANT IT! 2009MY Roadster from Tesla Motors

Gorgeous isn't it? It's also electric, and costs $109,000.

Jeff Bezos has an amazing laugh

Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon.com, was on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Monday to talk about the release of the Kindle 2. He was a really good sport and didn't mind that Jon Stewart tried in every way possible to make the Kindle 2 look like an exorbitant piece of technology. AND to top it all off, he has an amazing laugh. Check it out for yourself.

EWwwww.....facebook.

When facebook execs aren't busy taking their shirts off...they're allowing their employees free reign to troll people's profiles, check out whose profile's other people have been checking, and just overall violate people's privacy.

Valleywag reported today that facebook employees were using their admin access and "Looking at restricted profiles to check out dates. Seeing which profiles a user had viewed. And, in one case, allegedly logging onto a user's account, changing her profile picture to a graphic image, and sending faked messages. Oh, and don't dare ask a Facebooker about any claims of misbehavior -- they'll report you to customer service for "harassment." Facebook may have sophisticated privacy controls. But they don't appear to be deployed at headquarters."

Can't these people get a life? Yuck.

Note to Google: Change you Themes!

I can't tell you how excited I was when I started using Google's personalized home page. Or how cool I thought the dynamic themes were! I could watch my little frog practice Tai Chi in the morning, or play on his slip 'n' slide in the afternoon!

But I'll tell you something...I'm bored. There hasn't been ONE new theme since the first induction of the service . Please Google, add some more themes.

I got a new toy!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

My Dad got Boyan and I a new camera as a wedding gift for Bulgaria. The Canon Rebel XT!!!

It's so pretty and the pictures it takes even with my own unexperienced hand are beautiful. It's going to take a lot of study but eventually Boyan and I will be experts. Expect a lot of beautiful pictures of the Bulgarian Countryside.

I might even take pictures of the tzigani. You never know.

Irony

Most people when asked have trouble defining Irony. Last night when trying to download a site using my broadband Verizon connection I got this screen:

That's ironic.
