Firefox 2 extensions

I stumbled upon the following page about FireFox 2 extensions (http://www.econsultant.com/i-want-firefox-extension/index.html)
on digg.com yesterday. First look at the page and I was like "wow!" and then after a few seconds I was saying "but why?"

I was amazed that someone had the patience to go find out the various extensions and neatly organize them based on their utility. I am pretty sure many people are going to find that page really useful. But the thing that made me say "but why?" was the fact that there were many extensions that looked completely useless to me. Nevertheless, I bookmarked the page using del.icio.us. BTW, folks I have this del.icio.us extension to my browser and I should admit that it really is delicious. It makes it lot easier to organize your favorite links. So having said that, I now think probably there are many other people who actually use those extension which I feel are completely useless. Anyways, people go and check out that page. You might probably find some really useful extension to add to your browser!!!

Am I weird?

Couple of days ago, for some reason I decided to add more content to my google personalized home page. As I was looking at the various content that was on offer, my eyes quickly fell on the "Quote of the day" link and I thought it would be nice to have some nice quotes come up daily on my page. After adding some other content, I quickly checked the stuff that was being shown in the new content sections that I had just added. The "Quote of the day" section had like three quotes and one of them really caught my attention. The quote was:

"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. " by Hunter S. Thompson
http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/33780.html

The qoute really caught my attention because not only was it a clever manipulation of the more famous "When the going gets tough, the tough get going" quotation, but also probably because of the "weird" problems that I have been facing in my current task at my work place. It has been a tough last few days for me at work because of problems which I choose to qualify as "weird" rather embarrasingly. I was really agitated because of these problems and this quote seemed to provide the right inspiration to tackle the problem with greater vigor. As soon as as I read the quote, I was begnining to think that I was going to turn pro soon. But even before that happy feeling began to sink in, I realized that according to the quote, I need to be weird first to actually turn into pro and this thought kept bothering me for the rest of the day :) . And whenever this thought kept popping into my head, I tried to wean away from that by saying to myself that you don' t really need to be weird to turn into pro but for some "weird" reason the question "Am I weird?" kept coming back to me. Then I thought I guess I am not the person to judge weather I am weird or not. It is probably for people who know me to make that judgement. So now you know why I have this post!

So guys do you think I am weird??

Should Zimbabwe be kicked out of ODI's too?

After the terrible performance of Zimbabwe in the Champions Trophy, I was all for Zimbabwe being relegated to non-ODI playing team. But the insipid batting displays by West Indies, England, South Africa, India and New Zealand in their respective matches has mellowed me a bit. Now in the hindsight, Zimbabwe I think still deserves to be around for a while and if the so called strong teams continue to put up such below par performances then Zimbabwe can even start believing about getting its test status back soon.
