My grand vision

Well, it’s finally, pretty much done. But for some gravel and plants, the grant vision that is my deck has been completed. Below is a gallery of pictures including some shots of my new windows - which I hinted at in one of my initial deck postings. You get a sweet before and after shot.

Stumbling around the internet I found some more cool extensions for Firefox. I already had half of these, but the rest are pretty swank, as well.

My former boss was born on 9/11 33 years ago. To reclaim her birthday, she became a part of charity:water (http://www.charitywater.org/birthdays/fundraiser/sept/view/1476). I donated to it on behalf of her and am helping build this - http://www.charitywater.org/birthdays/livedrill.htm
