Thinking of the Camachos

I keep finding all these really cute baby-related blogs and sites that make me think of the Camachos. ...And I keep sending them emails about these links, one by bloomin' one. Gah! How annoying! So, I'm just going to make a list here. L & L, you are free to check back here anytime to see if I've updated this list. Here's thinkin' of you :D

I Got You Babe
Amalah.com
Jackie's World

There was another Google Video, Aretha Frankling: Mamma, a few months back, done by the same girls who did RESPECT, but apparently, it's not around anymore. Just wanted to mention it here, 'cause that one made me think so much of Laura, kinda like a futuristic postcard from Qwerty ;)

Firefox Themes

I'm rather discriminating, when it comes to themes, skins, styles, etc. Very. I won't settle for some dorky cartoonish genre. And I hate white text on black, too. I don't like "space-age radio" looks, and I think animal based kiddy-themes are for just that, kids, just like Trix. I decided to bulk up my Firefox with some new themes that would make it look smoother, nicer, whatever. It's not easy finding a good theme! I serfed through about 6 pages (3 different lists) before finally finding 6 that both appealed to me, installed correctly, and are actually usable in the new Firefox 1.5.0.5. Here they are:

Aquatint 1.6.4
geek 0.21
GrayModern 0.7
miniFox 0.7.4
Noia 2.0 (lite) 3.12
Tango Icons 1.4.8

Personal Archade

Unlike some people, I LOVE RealOne's Archade. I have a few miscellanious games I've found over time on the internet, but at least the top portion of this page is dedicated solely to my favorite games at Real.

If you are using FireFox (GOOD FOR YOU :D :D :D), you'll need to first install the following extension: IE View, then right click on each link below, and choose Open Link Target in IE to open it in Internet Explorer. Unfortunatlely, these pages will not run correctly in FireFox. Want an incentive to download this nifty extension? See the photo below the links...

Anywho, here they are:

Luxor
Luxor - Amun Rising
Diamond Mine
Bejeweled 2
Insanaquarium
Text Twist
Mah Jong
Avalanche
Sudoku



What's the big deal? When you go through RealOne's Archade Console to get to the games listed above (or any of their other games), your IE Browser WILL open, but you can't resize it, you can only move it around on your screen. The reason this is a pain is that you loose visual focus on the game your playing when your whole screen is filled up with a lot of white space. When you use the IE View extension in conjunction with the links above, you get a clean browser window that you can resize and more easily move around to your heart's content.
