So how does everyone like the new Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2????

IE 7

IE7 Positive features:
-Cool new look (interface)
-IE7 finally has tabs!!!
-RSS feeds
-Searching the internet directly from the browser at the top right
-Being able to report Phishing web sites that can protect you against malicious software
-Plug-in devices

Firefox 2
Firefox 2 Positive features:
-New bookmark and History system
-Tabbed browsing w/ improvements
-New visual theme
-In-line spell check (I like a lot!)
-Fully integrated RSS functionality
-Anti-phishing
-Being able to have different themes
-Plug-in devices
-Runs on multiple platforms

IE7 Cons:
-Only runs on windows platforms
-Uses a lot of CPU usage
Firefox 2 Cons:
-Very sluggish and often hangs when clicking on links or using the scroll wheel
-Having to re-download extensions, ex. Flash Player, Themes.
As you can see, both browsers have made some major improvements. If I were to pick one that is better, I would have to say IE7 for a better interface and Firefox 2 for faster performance. I cant decide on one! Anybody have any suggestions?? Let me know what you think about these browsers…

Evanescence Concert this past weekend…

EvanescenceThis weekend Amy and I went up to Milwaukee, WI to go see Evanescence in concert!!  The concert was on Saturday and we had the worst time getting there b/c of all the highway construction and stuff, and of course there were no detour signs.  So, that left us lost for about 2 hours in total! Was NOT fun at all.  We ended up and got there about 10 minutes before the concert started.  A band named Revalation Theory opened for them.  Seemed like a pretty cool band, but I reallllly feel sorry for them b/c their sound man sucked bigtime!  You couldn’t even hear the vocals or the guitar; it was rediculous.  Half an hour later after Revelation Theory was done, Evanescence finally came out.  Amy and I ended up being about 15 feet from the side of the stage, so we got a pretty good view (set aside the 3 people that were like 6′5” in front of us).  For this tour, Evanescence is promoting their new album, The Open Door (which is amazing).  They started off with the first song off of the new album, Sweet Sacrifice.  This is one of my favorite in all.  Amy Lee was just so….beautiful.  She came out on stage w/ a black wifebeater w/ a pink tu tu lol.  I have to say it was pretty hot.  They also played: Lithium, Call me when you’re sober, Going Under, Bring me to Life, My Immortal, Cloud Nine, Lacrymosa, Haunted, Your Star, Whisper, and a few others off of their new album.  Anyways, the concert kicked ass.  I took some video’s w/ my Razr phone and they actually turned out not too bad. Im gonna upload them on youtube.com so that i can upload them on here.  Check back later!!

Spring Lake

Wow, I guess I haven’t posted anything for about 3 weeks!  I’ve been extremely busy…

Today Ryan and I went to Spring Lake for the hell of it and when we got there we saw they had canoe’s sitting out.  We payed like 7 bucks to rent one for 2 hrs.  Little did we know how big the lake was, which was awesome!  More than anything, it was just a relaxing time; and plus it was good to just get out of Higgins.  Tonight’s the AGR party, so that should be pretty cool, maybe.  I just hope they dont play country music.
