Out of the Blue

Wristwatch phone turns your finger into an earpiece (thanks Mike Martinez) is my favorite techie story in a while, as all I can picture now is a guy walking down the street with his finger stuck in his ear while shouting 'Speak up, I can't hear you!!!" Also from the world of science is NightSky: Friday Coming Nov. 8 Second Total Lunar Eclipse of 2003, with word of a second chance for those of us rained out earlier this year. Unfortunately, the forecast is for wet weather around these parts again, but there's still hope, as the weatherman is off base far more often than once in a blue moon, much less a red one. Hey, I wonder why Mitsubishi didn't call the convertible version of their sporty car a Solar Eclipse? And the coupe with a moon roof could be the Lunar Eclipse! Oh well, if it rains maybe I'll find a dealership and ask them these burning questions.

43. Re: Noisy Flash ads Nov 8, 2003, 01:40 JM
 
A while back, someone turned me onto a toolbar for IE that would allow me to enable/disable flash at will. I have since forgotten what it was called. Anyone care to refresh my memory?

I doubt this is what you were talking about but I've just discovered Avant Browser and I'm loving it! It has built-in pop-up blocking as well as the ability to block/allow Flash animations with the press of a button on the toolbar. It also features tabbed browsing utilizing MDI, integrated Google searching, true fullscreen mode, excellent window management, etc. I strongly encourage anyone considering an IE alternative (actually I believe it works in conjunction with IE) to check it out at http://www.avantbrowser.com/
