My grandpa on my Dad's side died this afternoon. He's been sick for a few months, so we knew he was fixing to go, and today was that day. Death affects me weirdly, I don't really get sad per se, but I do feel something. Maybe it's because everyone I know who has died has been relatives who I see a few times a year, I was never really that close. So death just means I won't be seeing them anymore. Maybe (hopefully?) I'll feel different when someone I know really well dies, but it's almost like I don't feel "enough" pain that it seems like I should feel from someone dying. And on the subject of death, I want people to laugh at my funeral! They're much too sad, and being that I get through pain with humor, I want people to remember the happy things and tell jokes and stuff. Don't be sad I'm dead, be happy that I lived! I need to put something like that in my will. Oh, and I want my organs donated. Course me writing this on my website has no legal standing, but if in doubt, that is my wish.

One of the best humor sites around (after the all mighty Onion of course) is shutting down. SatireWire is a hillarious splice of cyberspace that I've been checking for quite a while, but unfortunatly the writer no longer feels like doing it, and so he's going stop updating. And then ironic thing is, it was actually one of those Internet sites making money instead of bleeding it. It's sad to see it go.

Mozilla 1.1 has been released. Lots of cool stuff, and of course it has the ever handy built in pop-up ad killer. Well worth a download.
