Greasemonkey – Go get it

Robert Scoble made a post today about the new annoying Google adSense stuff for RSS feeds. I’ve been unsubscribing from sites as they add them, but it’s no longer necessary. As mentioned in his post/comments, there are ways of removing these things.
I had heard about Greasemonkey for Firefox a while ago, and was very interested in it, but never got a chance to try it myself. Basically, it’s a mechanism for easily, automatically applying modifications to websites, doing things such as making all pages use a black-on-white color scheme, removing ads, adding useful links, and more. It is _phenomenal_, and yet another reason to use Firefox.

If you don’t go install it right now, it is most certainly your loss. I am once again subscribed to Slashdot RSS, now in new, **Ad-Free** flavor.

I’ve cheated death again

Lots of images lately, I know. Check this out:



I passed soft tissue mechanics, which to me seems only slightly short of amazing. I guess the curve must have helped me out.

Here’s a screenshot (thumbnailed) of what’s on my dashboard right now:

Bad Matrix Joke

Amanda was telling me yesterday of the difficulties of studying medical school material. She said she wished she could learn her pulmonary physiology like in “The Matrix”, wherein via a computer all of the information could be loaded in. Possibly the most clever joke I have ever come up with on my own *cough* occurred to me as she mimiced Neo getting information loaded into his brain, head shaking and so on. When she finished I chimed in, “I know Lung Fu!”

Get it? Pulmonary Physiology? Lung Fu? Geez I crack myself up.
