I’ve been reading bits and pieces of the Design Observer archives all day, and expect to continue doing so for quite a while. Good stuff.

If you’re wondering, I’m posting these because they have clearly struck some sort of nerve for me, I’m just not exactly sure what that nerve is at the moment, or what it means. These are just interesting to me. Thought provoking, if nothing else.
Foxkeh is the insanely cute Mozilla Japan Firefox mascot who now has an English weblog. It does not get any cuter than this, folks. Follow along as Foxkeh learns about Firefox!
I seriously need a Foxkeh t-shirt. It’s imperative.
Where else but on the great social web are you going to be able to find things like 28 reviews of a mortar and pestle?
I’m still not sure what this all will mean in the long-term, but I sure like where it’s going. Three cheers for anyone who has ever left a useful review for no other reason than to help other people. You rock.
PS: I’m looking to buy a mortar and pestle. Any suggestions?
This looks like a really interesting local initiative. I think I might check it out.

Linking to this because I want to re-read and think about it more later.
Tim O’Reilly today talks about Better Gmail, a new Firefox add-on that Gina Trapani (of Lifehacker1) put together from bits and pieces of other add-ons other folks have put together. The add-on credit reads:
Creator: Gina Trapani, using scripts by Mihai Parparita and others, compiled using Anthony Lieuallen’s Greasemonkey Compiler.
Not only is the add-on indescribably cool, it also demonstrates the power of open standards, open development, and collaboration. As O’Reilly puts it, “The users themselves are evolving the browser.”
This is why I love Mozilla. This is why I love what I do2. Everything Mozilla does is focused on doing what’s right, what’s best for the Web, and what’s best for users. And sometimes something like this happens and just blows my mind because it’s working and we can see it and we’re actually making a difference. It sure makes the insanity worthwhile.
1 - Pretty much the most useful site ever.
2 - Yes, it can get gnarly and frustrating and crazy and exhausting, but it’s worth every second.
Aw yeah. Spring! Woo!
