I like this friendly tradition. The Firefox team had even saved a piece of the cake from version 2, like saving the top of a wedding cake. I wonder if they ate it.

17 Jun 2008Park your car elsewhere
Boston has been conspiring to slowly remove all available parking in our area. There's about six square blocks of road construction going on, and now they're filming something (I think a FedEx commercial) on our street. Combined with street sweeping, it means we've had to park practically in Quincy.

My grandfather was inventive; he built his own lawnmower using, in part, the transmission from a $50 junked car — and then sold the remainder of the car for a profit. He was a practical joker; he somehow once tricked my cousin into putting the seeded end of grass between her teeth, and then he yanked out the stalk. He was hard working; he built the house that my dad and his brothers grew up in, and even made his own cinder blocks for the job. He was handy; he built a car engine from two diesel-powered refrigerators, harvested a transmission from a pickup truck, and made a custom two-seater Maverick that, in his words, “could pull a Mack truck up a brick wall at 60mph”.
I can see a little of him in me, and he was everything I wish I was. He was independent and sometimes stubborn; and he fell off his roof last week, while fixing his TV antenna. At the age of 82. I’ll miss him.
