Do you know what it means to missNew Orleans?
I thought I did, but I only got there once and stayed in the Franch Quarter. But this guy says thay New Orleans has pretty much never done anything right.

Curious. George tabbed browsing.
Many of you are reallly stoked that tabbed browsing is available in FireFox. I don't understand why it's preferable to opening new windows. In fact, when I open new tabs and try to close one of them, they all close, and I lose cookies, while with windows, I just get back to what I wanted to see.

No one with a user number of 1 is allowed to read this.
I thought about putting this on the wiki, but am not sure enough of us are reading it at this point. Two seminal events are approaching, and we need to get organized.
Sometime around June 26, a baby will be born unto our goddess and fearless leader and her consort. July 27 is tracicle's birthday. Presents seem appropriate, since she and #2 have given us a place to play, and argue, and flame out and enjoy.

Curious Georbe -programmable tv?
In the 1970s, I bought a tv (Sony) which allowed one to program the order in which cable channels showed up on the tv. It was sooo nice. Those that I've bought since didn't have that feature. Now, even on basic cable, we have more channels than I care to think about and many of those that we might like to watch are up in 400s or above. This is driving my mother, who is nearly blind, nuts, since finding Animal Planet or the Travel Channel is almost impossible for her. (They're things she can listen to and get the gist of what's going on.) But, it's almost impossible for her to find those channels since she can't really see the remore control.
Is there anything out there which would make her tv viewing easier?

Something for the girlzone in these troubled times, and maybe for the guys. NSFW.
Flesh is pretty basic, so here are some nice examples. I feel calmer already.

Curious, George - who are we?
Before we lost our history, we had several threads where people told us about themselves - a/s/l, what jobs or pets they had, etc. Maybe it's time to update that.

Curious, Geoge - iguana?
An iguana has been hanging around our backyard for the last week or so. I think it must be someone's escaped pet. Can it survive?

A bit of California nostalgia
Way back in 1996, I found this via Yahoo! Surfers' Picks, which no longer exists. While it centers around suburban Los Angeles memories from the 1960s and '70s, I think the teen age angst and semi-loony parent themes might spark some recoginition in even the youngest of our Monkeys.

New message from the Pope
about the differences between men and women. (Stolen from MetaFilter.) I know this is NewsFiltery, but it did make me think about what a woman's place has been over the ages.

Dizzy retrospective
I wanted to start this with Dizzy's profile, but Google cache caught up with his deleting his account. Anway, here's his first post. As time went on, I (maybe an all-inclusive we) was so impressed with his exceptional ability to improvise and with his wonderful humor, thoughtfulness and wit, that I thought it only meet to remind us of some of his best stuff.
