Florida Football Schedule
The schedule for the University of Florida 2007 football season has been published. You can find it at the University Athletic Association website.

A Better Browser
Well I finally did it. I’ve been playing with it for a few weeks and I decided to make the switch. I’ve instructed my laptop to use FireFox as my default browser. It is just a damn hell ass better browser than Internet Explorer. I like the tabs. (No, I love the tabs.) I like
