If you use the Internet browser Firefox, you may want to look into a way to back up all of those themes, extensions and settings (I have had several crashes and reinstalling is a time waster.) BackupFox creates backup profiles for Firefox and Mozilla’s Thunderbird email program. The Firefox Deployment program creates similar backups, but it seems to create an entirely new Firefox folder, hence taking up unnecessary space. MozBackup, the predecessor to BackupFox, has a similar clean interface and backs up the latest FF /Thunderbird profiles and even Mozilla 1.6. Here’s some more 411 on Mozbackup. If you’re looking simply to back up your FF/Thunderbird extensions, go for the Mass Installer (cumbersome at first, but well worth it!)

PBS has been making some great webpages for their programming lately. They started airing Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst this week and the site is worth checking out if you find the case interesting. Of course, the whole SLA was a conspiracy

Bottle Shoot had me frantically hitting space to reload as the bottles started flying like crazy.
