It’s just a matter of time before any blog contains pictures of children or kittens. Here are two little ladies that we’ll be adopting after Thanksgiving. Any kitten-raising tips would be appreciated 🙂

Silliness is its own reward (Updated with extra mirth!)
Looking over the selection of Firefox buttons at the new SpreadFirefox site, I was inspired to make this:
To the obvious question, I say: Why not? This is an audience participation blog post. Warm up your Photoshops and your MacPaints and lets see your take on the little browser that could!
UPDATE: This comes from Scott @ techory.com:
He has another one on his blog. Cool stuff!
UPDATE 2: Daniel Keep sent this one through email. Thanks Daniel 🙂
Closing in on Firefox 1.0: the Mac user experience
Now that the dust is settling from the 0.9 release, I thought I’d turn my attention to the Mac Firefox experience and what I think needs to happen to make 1.0 great. Firefox’s UI is “good enough” for day to day use, but there are some not so subtle rough edges that make Mac Firefox user experience less than stellar. Here’s a list with some thoughts. The ones on the top are very important in my opinion. The ones near the bottom will probably be random gibbering 🙂

Firefox 0.9 is out!
Firefox 0.9 has been released. This new version includes a lot of great features and optimizations as well as a new default theme.
Mac users will allso notice that the default theme also gets a set of Aqua icons to replace the previous “button” icons. The new icons are more consistent with the Aqua icon guidelines and are easier to hit with the mouse. They also work with the Windows default theme to create a unified look across platforms.
I will create a Graphite version soon. Oh, and before you ask me to put the old icons back, please turn on “small icons” and live with the new ones for a week. Then we’ll talk 🙂
The fox is out of the bag
You might have read that Firefox is getting a new default theme. Here’s a first look. I’ll post more about the making of the theme in the next few days.
Edit: I appreciate all feedback, negative as well as positive, but please reserve final judgement until you have actually used the theme 🙂
