The Hold Steady – We Can Get Together

Sure, it’s an advertisement, but it’s still a fun idea and there is actually very little promoting going on. A really nice tour through all kinds of sports. 🙂

The League is about five friends in a fantasy football league and if you don’t believe you can run a whole show on just that, you will stand corrected just like me. The show is completely inappropriate, sometimes even vulgar, often absurd and most of all, incredibly funny!

Guttenberg sagt “er habe den Überblick verloren”, obwohl er ganz klar bewußt getäuscht hat. So nicht, Herr von und zu!

So true!

I like Opera’s user
interface more.

Opera 11 came out recently and Firebox 4 is currently in a very advanced beta state, so it was time for a little browser competition.

Opera:
+ Save bookmarks directly to folder
+ Select search engine directly typing search phrase
+ Private tabs instead of private mode
+ Design slightly better
– Search in site feature a bit strange

But thanks to ICC
color profiles, FF is
better for photos

Firefox:
+ Many more extensions!
+ Easier to customize
+ ICC color profiles
– No status bar any more

In the end, I like Opera more, it feels more finished and overall is easier to use, but not having color profiles is pretty much a deal breaker for me. I just hope I will be able to re-create most of Opera’s killer features with Firefox extensions.

The funniest clip I have seen in a while:
