“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy,the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America’s Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn’t want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named Bush, Dick, and Colon.”

Rounded Corner Adsense Ads
The Google Adsense team announced that you can now use rounded corners for your ads, giving you the option to choose between 3 types: Square corners (old style, default), Slightly rounded corners and Very rounded corners.
You can change this behavior from the AdSense Control Panel -> Choose Ad Format and Colors -> Corner Styles.
Hopefully this will make your ads a bit more attractive and improve the CTR (although in many cases it’s much better not to use any borders at all), anyway, the choice is up to you.
Tomorrow never comes until it’s too late
I don’t know about you, but when I hear a tune I like it gets into my mind in less than a second … and it sure likes to stay there for a while.
I’m not a particular fan of house/trance/electronic music, but this line sounds far too good to miss it: Tomorrow never comes until it’s too late.
It caught my attention in a friend’s car and soon after I found out it’s DJ Shadow Feat. Mos Def – Six Days The Remix from The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift OST, and here are some of the lyrics that I find quite deep really (and very much sounds like a theme song for anyone who is at work).
If you didn’t hear the song, you should start with that first by the way – so check out the video below:
At the starting of the week
At summit talks you’ll hear them speak
It’s only Monday
Negotiations breaking down
See those leaders start to frown
It’s sword and gun dayTomorrow never comes until it’s too late

Easily highlight nofollow links in Firefox
If you are a blogger (or if you read blogs at least), you most likely know what nofollow is (if not, read this article from Wikipedia).
Also, if you are a blogger you’re most likely interested to get as many links as you can, but avoid nofollow links (why? because they simply don’t count for search engines – yes, I know this is different for various search engines, but big G doesn’t care about them).
What you need in this case, is this little script to highlight links (it colors them in pink, but can be easily modified if you know a bit of CSS).
What you need in order to use this script is Firefox with Greasemonkey extension – both very easy to install.
After this, just install this little script: nofollowhighlight.user.js (1KB)
If you want to highlight the links in a different color (or add another styling, go to Greasemonkey options (right click on the monkey head from the taskbar), select Manage user scripts, there select Nofollow highlight and click on the Edit button.
This will edit the file in your text editor. What you need to change there is this line:
theStyle += "background-color: pink";
You can change for example this into theStyle += "text-decoration:line-through;"; – this will make the nofollow links have a strike through. It simply depends on what you like best.
The script is based on Gareth Simpson’s first version.
