Dear Internet Public

« Haute Dog Howl-oween Parade 2007 | Main | Happy New Year's Eve or Halloween »

Today is International Be Really Nice to Web Designers and Developers Day, which means that you, lovely internet public, should upgrade your browser.

Still using, Internet Explorer? Consider switching to Firefox or Opera or Safari (yeah, you want to do it, go buy a Mac).

If switching browsers is not your thing, then please, please, pretty please on top, be very nice and upgrade to Internet Explorer 7.

Yes, I know, Microsquash makes it hard, you have to find the Update area in the Start menu of your PC and then download about 62 security updates, but do it. Do it tonight before you go to bed, leave the MS update running while you sleep and hopefully when you wake up, your computer is happy and your favorite web designer and/or developer will be happy too.

Spread the love. Switch or Upgrade.

IHT on "We Should Still Like Ike" - 'The supreme commander of Allied forces during World War II, Eisenhower believed the United States should not go to war unless the nation's survival was at stake. "There is no alternative to peace," he said."

Reason Magazine on "Baby Bust" - 'At the heart of any fertility incentive lies an attempt to encourage a particular group of women to orient their bodies in a traditional way. Every pro-fertility policy is an effort to slow cultural transformation, to stabilize a society's ethnic composition, to ossify a current conception of a national culture by freezing the genetic makeup of a nation. From Poland to Singapore, swollen wombs are a bulwark against change.'

"Drunken Swede tries to row home" - BBC News on a drunk Swedish man who stole a dinghy to row home to Sweden from Denmark. He fell asleep half away across the 5km Oresund Strait. This is good local news.

"The Worms Crawl In" - NYT article on using hookworm infections to quell allergies. As an allergy sufferer, I will wait for the researchers to figure out the hookworms dampen one's immune response and wait for a pharmaceutical pill that is not a live parasite! Ewwwwwwww!
