Splash is a Firefox add-on that adds a custom splash screen when the browser starts up. It’s a fairly customizable plugin that adds your own custom touch to it’s interface.

So let’s get started with customizing this add-on

You’re going to need to open your Add-ons menu first to access the splash options screen. That’s located here

Tools > Add-ons > Splash. Select options.

1. General Tab - Here’s where you set up the very basic options for your own splash screen. Background colors and padding…well you can see the image below.

2. Image Tab - This is obviously where you define your new image. Mine is set at the default size and file format, but you do not have to use a png and you can make the image dimensions what ever you choose.

3. Text Tab - again a real no brainer, but you can see you also have access to change the color as well as text style here.

4. Miscellaneous Tab - Add sound when opening Firefox and set splash window opacity here.

And that’s it. A pretty neat little add-on that gives Firefox a little more character. Just one more to reason to switch from IE to Firefox.

Like the plugin, but not thrilled with the splash screen?

Wow what a cool birtday present. You just have to love Entrecard. Thanks to this fantastic little widget I made it on Laughing Squid’s homepage.

Laughing Squid is an art and technology blog I’ve been following for years. They have a little bit of everything and it’s a dream to be listed on the site. Entrecard is making it possible for little guys like me to rub elbows with industry moguls.

Thanks and Cheers…

I went and saw the Blue Man Group this weekend at the Palace of Auburn Hills. It was my first time at one of their shows and it was an amazing spectacle to behold. If you plan on catching them expect a lot of audience participation, eclectic music, interesting media, percussion, comedy and technology. I kept finding myself trying to wrap my head around how they pulled off some of the things they performed.

I snapped a ton of pictures with my lousy Razr, but had my camera set at the wrong resolution otherwise I might have some decent photos to post. Sigh..oh well…such is life but the show was awesome.

I tried explaining the show to a couple buddies and couldn’t quite give a decent synopsis, but I found some video of the tour we saw and wanted to post them here.

I Feel Love, Rock Concert Movements

I love this eclectic little web strip. I just blogged about having enough of winter a little over a week ago and found this both poignant and fitting.

Enjoy, WE THE ROBOTS - SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)

For those of you that don’t know Jimmy Kimmel is dating comedienne Sarah Silverman and has been apparently for the past 5 years. This video is great. I now love Sarah Silverman and Matt Damon that much more. Such a hilarious performance that I felt the need to post it here.

Enjoy.

Dr. Drew, Billy Corgan & Mike Tyson to name a few.

File this one under weird and creepy. I just heard about this site on an archived Loveline episode.

Anyway, they were talking about Celebrity Skin because they somehow got access to Dr. Drew’s fecal matter and were having an over stock sale. I’m not kidding you can see it on the web site. I can’t even make this stuff up.

At first, I was questioning whether I should even post about this or not, but it’s like the proverbial train crash. You just can’t look away. Much like many I have a morbid sense of curiosity and the site though nasty in it’s inception is intriguing enough for a click-see.

There’s nothing here that isn’t safe for work. Just a list of actors, musicians, writers and other social lights with drop down boxes explaining what bodily bits they offer. Other celebs on this list include, Michael Stipe from REM, Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jeff Bridges and Jessica Parker to name just a few.

I’m not sure what you are supposed to do when you get your package though. This is the most stalkiest move I think you could do. You can’t exactly press it into an autograph book, it would look horrible on your mantle and what the hell would the celebrity think if you ever approached them for a signature? Mr. Pitt would you sign your poo?

Dear lord help us all…

Who They are
Celebrity Skin was formed in 2003 by an anonymous collective of former Hollywood personal assistants. We are based in Los Angeles, California.

Is This Legal?
Yes. Federal laws simply require that our samples not create an immediate threat of injury or disease propagation. Our fecal matter, urine, saliva, and sweat specimens are hermetically sealed in unbreakable plastic containers to prevent any unwanted personal injury. Bacteria and skin cells are sealed within heavy-duty glass microscope slides.

I just heard this on the Adam Carolla Radio Show and knew there had to be a YouTube video out there and low and behold here it is.

Jane Fonda at 70 years old drops the following line while talking about her role in the Vagina Monologues.

“I live in Georgia ok. I was asked to do a monologue called Cunt. And I said I don’t think so I have enough problems.”

I have to love her candor, but you have to wonder about her sanity at this age. For someone who has spent a majority of her time in the public eye you would think that she would know better than to say cunt on prime time television.

Eh…Cez la viz…Enjoy

Here’s an animated gif I made from screen captures from my whos.amung.us widget page. This is the direct result from my round of submissions to social networks. Keep in mind this is within minutes of my final submission of this post. I had particularly good luck with Digg, Reddit, Simpy and Stumbleupon.

The Sociable Plugin For Wordpress

I recently started a pretty consistent round of social networking submissions after each post. Hence the boost in traffic. It was cool to watch the different countries hit. I peaked out at 199, however this is the first time I’ve used whos.amung.us immediately after a submission. So I’ll be trying this again very soon.

I just upgraded my Sociable plugin to 2.5.2. It basically offers more social networks. I’ve been having pretty good luck with my current list though. That’d be the ones below high-lighted in blue.
