I just noticed Yahoo! Mail is supporting advance edit controls in Firefox:
Before this, these advance controls were only available only in Internet Explorer, which really sucked because whenever I hit reply in Firefox, it’d create the following ugly reply patterns for the message:
>
>
>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>>
>>>
Now it’s just a blue bar like Outlook and how it’s suppose to be. Other functionalities it has includes spell check, font face, font size, bold, italic, underline, color, highlight, emoticon, hyperlink, text alignment, list creationg, indentation, and stationeries. The only thing I really cared about was the ugly > > > >. So I’m happy.
Random Crap:
Google to offer web traffic analysis services – Google has officially launched Analytics, a robust new web analysis system that provides site owners with traffic metrics and massive amounts of useful marketing data. Based on technology originally developed by a Californian company called Urchin that Google acquired in March, Analytics integrates with Google’s popular AdWords system, and will vastly improve the quality and quantity of data provided to existing AdWords users. Those of you that don’t use AdWords can still use Analytics by adding a simple javascript snippet to your web site. I just implemented this on both my blog and gallery. We’ll see how well it does. I was working on KLAWS if you remember correctly, but that project sorted is still somewhere in midair and I accumulated way too much data to process.

Berkeley High’s condom club – A student can get a 12-pack, free food (from esca):
Now after I read this — and after I stopped laughing — my first thought was not about the offer of “free food,” presumably made to induce the students to join club. My mind did not linger over the sticker that gets attached to the back of a student I.D. (wondering, like, what’s the logo look like for the Condom Club?) What stopped me, what left me pondering the ingenuity of high school administrators, was the number of condoms on offer. Please, read this line again, slowly: Show your ID at the Health Center and receive 12 free condoms a week.
Where did they come up with the number 12?
Twelve condoms a week! I don’t know sex workers who need that many condoms. Certainly none of my middle-age friends need 12 condoms a week. High school students do?
