What ho, Mrs. Brisket?



Blade as Fletcher Hodges. Blade played one of two butlers (Graves) on the last night that we were there and it was he that handed me my mail on the Zebra Mezzanine.

I hate cell phones

LG phones are garbage, my VX8350 crapped out right after the warranty expired. Everything on it works except the screen is white. Why can't you get a new phone without extending your contract? That is really shady. I'm pretty pissed at the unregulated mobile phone cartels, manufactures and service providers included. I'm going to not get a new phone for as long as possible.

The Adventurers Club: Florida, The Moon and You (Underneath The Moon In Florida)



Florida, The Moon and You (Underneath The Moon In Florida) Lyrics (repeat twice):

It's Heaven to Be Here With You
Underneath the Moon in Florida
I love everything that you do
It's paradise here in Florida

Your smile, your sigh, your wonderful charms
Your lips, your eyes, your two loving arms
I love you, my darling, I do
Florida, the Moon and you

Quicktime save disabled in Safari 4?

I upgraded Safari to the version 4 beta and I looks like the little triangle at the end of the quicktime play bar is missing (which allows you to save qt files if you have QT Pro). What gives? There are ways around this (even if you don't have pro) and its still there in Firefox, but where did it go in the Safari 4 Beta?

Here is a link to an mp3 of me saying "caiparinhas.mp3" so you can test it yourself (it was from an old post about how to pronounce the word):

caiparinhas.mp3

EDIT: This post previously referred to it as the Safari 3 Beta, its actually 4, I skipped over 3.
