My reason for writing at this juncture is the fact that tonight, my single instance of Firefox was boasting an amazing 802MB RAM utilization. Yes folks, that’s 802,000,000 bytes of memory being used by a single browser instance. No, I did not not have a thousand tabs open, and no, I was not loading hundreds of megabytes of images and resources. Simply put, there is an amazingly huge memory leak within Firefox at this time. Granted I have my own fair share of add-ons/plug-ins installed. However, you would think the Firefox core application would know how to manage and restrict such add-ons (if that in deed is the case) from consuming every last resource on my machine. Thank goodness for my 4 gigabytes of DDR RAM.

Anyway, here is what an almost GIG utilization from a browser looks like. Enjoy.

He slows to cut out of the carpool lane in front of some poor, law abiding citizen nearly causing a 10 car pileup. A sigh of relief as he gradually passes the officer on the left. Whew, lucky bloke just about got busted. But wait, we have an astute, observant servant of the law who ever so smoothly slides behind Mr. Belvedere, flicks on his (or her) police lights and gloriously nails the not-so-bright law breaker for: driving in the HOV lane, reckless driving, and pissing off the guy in the beige Pathfinder behind him.

Yet another slinky to push down the stairs.

Basically, catch someone else’s nanny’s benevolence (or malevolence), then report them to the “nanny police”. Apparently, this site is gaining a lot of momentum in the blogosphere.

COME ON PEOPLE! Society please take a Valium, relax, breathe a little. Are we all so caught up in other everyone else’s business that we forget to worry about whether or not we should be doing so? I realize there are those out there that would say it is our “responsibility” as a society to take care of each other. At what point will we say enough is enough? Like I want people “spying” on me on every little thing I do as father, husband, etc.

However glorious the Internet has become, its amazing things like this continue to draw our attention. Social networking sites, blogs, and other such personal web site mediums are effective ways for an individual to communicate with the world. Now we have sites like this, welcoming blatant defamation about real people, who may or may not merit such discussion, by completely arbitrary (and more often than not anonymous) participants. How insane is this?

However helpful such a service like this (or others like it) may be to society, perhaps we should see really observe what’s down that dark alley before we attempt to stomp on personal freedom and individualism. After all, by allowing society to run your life, you are in effect, losing it.


My goodness! It’s a documentary. Documentaries are made to be informational, theory or factual based perceptions of societal hot-topics. This is a scientific discovery that in no way slams my belief in Christ. I can choose to believe in it (or watch it for that fact) or not. Please try to focus on things that really matter. The greatest threat to Christianity is disbelief, not information. Christ and god are real, thus no amount of information, science, etc can curtail that belief in Christ. The fact you are trying so hard to combat this belittles the concept of "faith" and belief in god based on faith. Perhaps a better approach, rather than attempting an information coup, would be to offer your rebuttal through well produced Christian focused documentaries and such. Just because someone takes the initiative to produce a documentary about hard evidence and vague theory, doesn’t make them the anti-christ.
