...I added Mark’s blog as a favorite. Primarily because it’s awesome, and also because of his tagline about bacon. <3

To favorite someone’s blog, you’ll need Firefox with Firebug installed.

1. Open someone’s blog and view source.
2. Look for an HTML comment like this:
   <!-- Asset Stream 6a00b8ea0717f31bc000b8ea0717f51bc0 -->
3. Copy the asset ID (the 6aNNNN... number).
4. Run this command from the Firebug console (with the above ID):
   app.c.addAssetAsFavorite( { asset_id: "6aNNNN..." } )
5. Check your favorites. It should now be listed!

Just being able to poach liberally from anywhere on Vox is. Awesome. Dear Tatushiko, thanks!

Was taken out to lunch today by a few friends at work. We went to Coco 500, had tacos mole, steak, a sazerac and the best strawberry sorbet ever (with a candle in it!).

Thanks Larissa, Nick, Lilia, Beau, Yann, David, Brad and Brad!

Tasty Meal

WebKit

This post composed entirely in the shiny new Safari 3.0 browser, part of Leopard. A couple minor things are left to get working, but overall, I’d say the outlook’s good for full Vox support. Hooray!

Dear ad-blocking users,

Please disable your janky Firefox extension. It breaks what we work so hard to bring you. For free. Additionally, it kills kittens and gives you warts.

Love,
Randy

• I decided that climbing Mount Everest is going to have to be done at some point.
  
• I smelled autumn for the first time this year yesterday, biking to work through South Park. It brought back memories of raking leaves, halloween, school starting and growing up. Nice thoughts.
• Artur and/or Ernie are going to pay for the CPU-pegging Barbie ad that's showing up on my Compose page right now. I've had to retype half this post three times because it deletes 100 chars everytime I hit Backspace.
• Cycletouring on a track bike: I think it's possible, at least if you're staying in hotels and travelling in a 1st-world country. The equipment/clothing/stuff manifest you'd need should fit comfortably in a messenger bag. Hm...
• Happy Birthday Ben!

What are the 5 words that best describe your life right now?
Question submitted by mojito.

Patience, refinement, cooking, Pista, Vox.

The first two because life is a process. Cooking because it's currently my favorite thing to do at home. Pista and Vox should be obvious. :)

Having watched the excellent trailer for the upcoming second remake of the first James Bond film, I noticed this post elsewhere on Vox using strong language to refer to the referee who set a World Cup record of red and yellow cards doled out in a single game.

Anyway, these blokes look alike. Since I didn't do much in the way of answering yesterday's QOTD, I present for your viewing pleasure:

Valentin Ivanov

Daniel Craig

Edit: Added link to first version of Casino Royale, the made-for-TV movie (not the Peter Sellers spoof).
