Being there is often like the moving Being There. I have just returned from ad:Tech NYC and I have a head full of stories, adventure and drama. Tech conferences are 92-hour days with early morning cat-naps taking the place of a full night’s sleep. Forty winks delivered in four hours of blissful down time.

There were far too many experiences and far too many stories to write in this blog post, mainly because I am still exhausted from the trip back home. I finally arrived very early this morning after a 36-hour trip punctuated by an impromptu emergency stop-over in Bismark North Dakota and a broken Dash-10 at SeaTac.

I am trying to play catch-up before going to PubCon in Las Vegas next week. I hope to have a real posting tomorrow after I have caught up with some sleep.

Here’s someone with too much time on their hands. msfirefox. Strangely, the link works fine in MS IE7, but not in Firefox 2. An unnamed individual built a website imagining what life would be like with Microsoft running Firefox.

I love the catch phrase “It’s better now… Like seriously”, and the minimum required specs. The person takes opportunities to swipe at everyone; Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, every manufacturer of anti-virus software, you name it.

I’m not sure how long this site will survive.

There is a download feature available, and it does trigger an actual file transfer request. Somehow, I don’t think I’ll try it out. Anyone willing to give it a whirl, please let me know…
