I probably make grilled cheese sandwiches for Emily or myself at least once a week. They’re delicious, light and quick snacks. Plus – cheese. I have my own method of cooking grilled cheeses that’s pretty basic but it works really well. Grilled cheeses themselves are about as simple as they come, so this was more [...]

Fixing the Woot Watcher Firefox Add-on
May 25th, 2010
3 Comments
One of my favorite add-on’s for Firefox is Woot Watcher. Displaying the current woot, it’s usually just a small convenience since there’s only one item a day.
