Online Gear

Mar 30

Posted by Mrs. Mecomber in Uncategorized | Comments off

I have seen the Internet offer a lot of interesting stuff for sale, but this amazes me- police tactical gear! There’s everything from police mugs to baseball hats to tactical boots! See for yourself!

The prices are pretty good, actually! They also offer the Surefire flashlight, which is one of the best, I hear.

My sons would absolutely flip over this store. It was founded by police in Los Angeles, and has expanded to offer products to military personnel, professionals, and the public. The flashlights are a great deal…. no guns though! lol.

It’s Nice Being an Award-Giver

I gave Fida Abbott an internet award, but she rewarded me even more by telling me it was her first award given by a non-Indonesian! Woo! I am going down in Fida Abbott history! Check out her blog here. It’s a lovely blog, and I love her stories. 

And Hercules Mulligan is proudly showing off his award at Alexander Hamilton Patriot. Nice job, Herky!

As for the others… I haven’t even told them about their awards yet, oops. :)

I’m sorry, I do not have any spectacular goodies to award you with– no bubble gum, no blue ribbons, not even used cisco equipment! But you get something better– you can put this button on your blog and give away some honors to your favorite bloggers.

A Great Firefox Add-on

Mar 29

Posted by Mrs. Mecomber in browsers, free stuff | Comments off

I’m a BIG fan of the Firefox browser. It’s been having a few problems lately (usually happens after an update) and I think that my plugins may be going screwy on me. For some reason, Firefox won’t connect to the Internet when I use wireless. It’s driving me crazy! So I’ve been tinkering with the plugins. I hadn’t looked at their bank of plugins for a long time, and was surprised to see their “new look.” I was also surprised to be hundreds upon hundreds of plugins for everything to launching radio players to tips for acne treatment! Sheesh! It’s a bit much.

I did find a golden egg in the nest, though. I love this addon! It’s called Fancy Numbered Tabs and it simply does what it says– it gives your tabs little numbers so you can keep track of them. I always have a lot of tabs open and sometimes I get confused. It’s a nice addon.

I’m Here, But

I know I haven’t been blogging much here. I’m building a website (open house will be announced in the future). It’s taking up a lot of time and involves more writing than usual blogs do. I also have a LOT of writing assignments these days. So I apologize for the sparse postings! Go check out a few of my other blogs if you have a hankering to read. :)
