I've noticed a really weird bug in Firefox. For seemingly no reason, it will sometimes log me out of EVERYTHING. I'll be commenting on LJ, posting on a forum, etc., and suddenly I get a message that I'm no longer logged in. Then I'll go to other websites, and it turns out that I've been signed out of those too.

It's a pretty minor thing, really. I mean, logging back in takes all of what... ten seconds? But it seems to happen at least once a week. It seems like a recent problem, so it might only be this version of Firefox that's affected. Still, it's kind of annoying... I wonder if it's just my laptop that's got this weird quirk, or if anyone else is affected.

I heard from [info]reijigin that some 21-year-old guy has decided to become a superhero. He wears a spandex outfit, and spends time handing out food to homeless people, and patrolling the streets of his city. He even "busted a shoulder" trying to stop a man from beating up a woman. He also calls himself the "Shadow Hare."

I'm not making any of this up. There's an article about it.

My first thought was this whole thing was... really silly. My second was that I found that I respected the guy. As dumb as this sounds, he can honestly claim that he's making the world a better place. How many people in his age group can claim that they spend their free time helping/saving people? To be honest, mine is usually spent playing video games and goofing off online. -_-

So, while I doubt that I -- or anyone else reading about him -- will be prancing around in tight outfits and saving the world, I've gotta say that I think he's strangely inspiring.

Meanwhile, I have to go mow the lawn. Toodles.

I might get another job soon. The commute's kinda bad, and the hours are longer, and I'm going to be working more often, but it pays much, much better, and the actual work is easier. As far as I know, most of it will be spent doing heavy-duty photo/video-editing work... which is a lot more pleasant than fixing people's computers (my current job).

Also, I think I might be doing most of that work on a sleek new Mac Pro with a 30-inch screen. My dark, geeky technological lusts shall be sated... or something. Anyways, good times. ^_^

In other news, I'm trying to work out a new schedule for myself. I'm kind of curious to see what the biggest "time-waster" activities are for me, so I'm going to try to figure that out this week, by acting normally and trying to find when/where I goof off the most.

Speaking of goofing off, I bought Mass Effect last week for my XBOX 360, and I beat it in 20 hours and got my character up to Level 45. Now I'm torn between waiting a while to play it again, or trading it in at the local game store and buying something new. If only I could think of some good X360 games to get....
