Today is post 101 for me on this blog. Pretty neat.
I don’t know if you have noticed the sudden proliferation of “Firefox Power Tips for Mega Power Users” articles, mostly written by bloggers who downloaded Ff five minutes previous to writing about obvious features (TIP: Add a Live Bookmark by clicking on the orange icon). […]

These aren’t refurbs or third-party deals, and its the best price I’ve seen for a new iPod. Enjoy!
