If you hadn’t heard, Mozilla Firefox released another new update.
I don’t mind updates, but this one forced me to complain a bit.
As a pretty consistent blogger, I frequently will take pictures of sections of a website with an Add-On called Screengrabber. Screengrabber would allow me to simply copy a section of a page, copy the entire viewable page, or copy the entire screen and then paste it in an email to share with my team.
It would also allow me to save those same images to my desktop easily for future blogging pleasure.
The point is, most, if not all, of my blog posts that show images of how-to posts, step by step guides, or “check this out” ideas, were created thanks to Screengrabber.
Until today.
Due to the Firefox 8.0 upgrade, there are quite a few Firefox Add-on’s I’m used to using that are not compatible.

Management is all about connecting with the people on your team. So how do you effectively manage a team? With common knowledge, of course.
How many of you wish you could paste this statement 1,000+ times on your manager’s door/desk/forehead?
Or maybe you’ve been a manager and wish you would have read this BEFORE you were an A$% to your employees…
Before I share a list of some tips for managers, let me say this: management is not all it’s cracked up to be and here’s why:
- Salary SUCKS, especially if you’re motivated to hit goals and exceed expectations. Sure, all “salaried” positions are different I’m sure; but a salaried job that has no perks or bonuses for exceptional effort? Come on managers…

Ok, been saving my comments about Google Instant, but got a SERP “instant” result today that was to good to keep to myself. I missed the Sundevils game last night, so I wanted to check out the score this morning. I go to Google and start typing in …. well, see for yourself.
Instant Google Search for Arizona State Sun ...
Just what you want your little kids seeing when they go to Google and check out the scores too huh??? But even more annoying? The “Instant” SERP image result (of these two girls paying swords with their tongues) is almost 3 years old. (look at the arrow) nice job on this Google.
Trash results

I am convinced of it. I had a conversation earlier this week with an individual I will call “Frank” – I do not want to share his real name here without his permission – who had it out with two of his bosses. A few weeks ago these Corporate bunnies tried to scare Frank by threatening his job (even though Frank is the highest producing sales person), cutting back his hours, and adding more responsibilities. They told Frank that he was lucky to still have a job with all the cutbacks going on.
Really? That might be the case for a lot of people, but Frank is the highest producing sales person on the entire sales team, has been with the company for over a decade, and understands sales better then anyone I know. YET, they want to threaten him with his job. It is fairly obvious that these Corporate America big wigs have a personality clash with Frank, after stating things like – “sales numbers don’t matter to us”. WTF? Again, I ask … REALLY? When do sales numbers not matter? When does making money for the company that is supposedly struggling NOT MATTER? Idiots…..
