3D View in Firefox = Mind. Blown.

I normally run Opera browser for my day to day internet use. No real reason, it is just what I am accustomed to. Over the years I have bounced around from IE to Firefox to Chrome to Opera and back and forth and back and forth. Today I decided to try out Firefox again because I hadn't used it in a while.

I was trying to tweak a few things on a site I am working on so I right clicked and selected "Inspect Element". While I was inspecting teh elements I saw a little button in the bottom right corner that said "3D View". So I clicked it. Mind = Blown.

Here is a screen shot of a site in 3D View. Pretty freakin' sweet.

Dudes Pinterest Too!

So the other day I admitted to my Pinterest addiction. Since then I have paid a bit closer attention to the male:female ratio on the site. While it is still very much female dominated, there are a few men on there making a good show of things. More and more men are joining the site everyday and bringing valued and original content along with them. I think it is a good thing for the site. While I don't see men going for a hostile takeover of the site, I do sense a growing community of men that will bring a different perspective of the things we're already accustomed to seeing there.

Ladies, just remember...

I have a confession to make... I am addicted to Pinterest.

So a few weeks ago I noticed that my girlfriend was obsessively perusing some website that I'd never seen before. My first thought was "Ooooh... Pretty colors..." Yeah, I have ADHD. Anyway, I ask what she is looking at and she tells me about this awesome site she's been checking out called Pinterest.

Pinterest

Of course, I had heard the word but I didn't really have any idea what the site was all about.

Kind of like Google+. All my friends were using it but I had resisted the demons and never checked it out. Once I did, I was extremely disappointed. Google+ sucks. Period. No debate.

But Pinterest... Oh, Pinterest... You crafty vixen. You... You had me the first time I saw a DIY pin about re-purposing wine bottles. Or it may have been the homemade Kimchi recipe...

Pinterest

Either way, I'm hooked. I'm an addict. I admit it and I am not ashamed (much) of it!
