Shake Your Peace

Saturday, May 12th, 2007

So there’s a guy named Gabe Dominguez out there, a native of Orem (my hometown), who just finished a bicycle tour of Utah.  Along the way, he performed his music on a pedal powered music stage.  I went to go hear him perform at the SLC Live Green Sustainability festival today, but unfortunately, his show was bumped up to 3:00 and the time wasn’t reflected on the website so I missed it.  I was pretty sad, but I did buy his cd, and I just recently spent an hour or so browsing his website.  It’s really a great thing that he’s doing, so here’s a link I hope you’ll check out: Shake Your Peace

A New Browser, USU Graduation

Saturday, May 5th, 2007

This weekend, I went up to see my little sister’s graduation.  I think I never gave her enough credit, she graduated high school with a near 4.0, and I chalked it up to easier classes.  But at USU, she actually graduated with two degrees instead of the more socially acceptable one.  Pretty impressive.  It was also freezing up in Logan, but I loved it.  I still feel at home there.

I’ve also started using a new browser.  It’s got a feature which I think is completely awesome.  It’s almost better than tabbed browsing (which it has as well of course).  You can go to any page where you can do a search, right click on the text box you type into, and save it off as a search.  That will allow you to see it in the drop down just to the right of the url location bar, just like other browsers.  But even better, you can assign a hotkey to it.  So in the location bar, you can just type that letter, and then the search terms, and it will bring up the search results automatically.  It comes with ‘g’ setup for google automatically, but it’s so stinking easy to add new ones.  I can’t believe I’m leaving Firefox behind, but for that I just have to.  There are plenty of disadvantages, (no easy IE Tab plugin as far as I can see) but I just can’t live without that quick search feature now that I’ve used it.
