			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is Chrome cool? Does it looks slick? yes. Is it owned by big bad Google? yes.</p>
<p>All of the above is true, but I love firefox. I love Mozilla. I love what they are about. I love that I went to their site tonight and noticed they have 127M+ downloads for firefox 3.6. That&#8217;s alot of people.</p>
<p>I could go on and on about all the things I love about firefox.</p>
<p>There are two words that sum up my love for firefox&#8211; Firefox Sync. Think of an addon that remembers how you browse from computer to computer and allows you to be nimble and jump from machine to machine. I have access and run on multiple, probably on average ~6 machines of various OS configurations. Ask yourself, how do you work on one machine, pop over to the other and have the exact same web browsing experience? The answer&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">I feel like I am a fairly progressive adopter of new technology, the latest thing etc. However, I am usually a bit behind the early adopters. Meaning, I love trying out the coolest new thing, but rarely am I the first guy on it. I usually need someone else to be the guinea pig and give me a taste.</div>
<p>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jYOndOT15CA/SIpp9mObh2I/AAAAAAAAAVk/pDTajv_rdZw/s1600-h/FIREFOX.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jYOndOT15CA/SIpp9mObh2I/AAAAAAAAAVk/pDTajv_rdZw/s400/FIREFOX.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227106824470890338" border="0" /></a>Enter Firefox. I have heard from close to everyone how cool Firefox is and felt way behind. So I just downloaded and installed Firefox3. Very cool from a User&#8217;s Experience. I wont bore you with all of the cool features. What I noticed is how simple the process was to install.  I downloaded, installed and it recognized IE, grabbed all of my favorites/bookmarks etc. I was up and running in a few mins. Clean, non-cluttered interface. Awesome!</p>
<p>I have always been a fan of Microsoft for the most part, so I am not a renegade guy always going against the grain. But the Mozilla guys took a huge chance going against the behemoth who essentially &#8220;gives away&#8221; their browser but they are still gaining ground everyday. There is a great <a href="http://www.wired.com/techbiz/people/magazine/16-08/ff_lilly"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">interview</span></a> in Wired this month with the Mozilla CEO. It is extremely expiring to see a group of people that believe in what they do, ban together and make a difference.</p>
<p>A great friend and mentor recently said&#8230; <span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></div>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
<blockquote>&#8220;Do not think that a few people with a common purpose can not change the world, indeed, it is the only thing that ever has&#8230;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
