excellent Firefox tip!

From LifeHacker via Google Reader, I discovered the best tip ever for Firefox.

Have you ever tried to paste a multi-line address into the search bar in Google Maps? I'm always annoyed when I only get the first line, but I usually just kick myself for trying to do something stupid, type in the rest of the address, and life goes on.

Well, Lifehacker has the answer... a config change to Firefox so you can paste multi-line blobs of text into any text field. Woohoo!

Go here for all the yummy goodness.

I think I just bought a car!

Squeeeeeee!!!!

I haven't been blogging much about the Saga Of The Beetle Search, but I've been trying to find a used diesel New Beetle in good shape for a reasonable price for over a month. Every time I get a line on one, it's gone already, or it turns out to not actually be a diesel, or to be an automatic (I want a manual), or to be waaaaaaay more than I'm willing to pay for a second car.

So okay, I haven't actually bought it yet, but I committed to buy it unless it has been "substantially misrepresented." Yay for finding a car that won't bankrupt me on fuel costs! I love my Trooper, and having a second car means the Trooper should stay alive and healthy for several more years for hauling dogs and PA gear and stuff while the shiny little Bug can be the daily driver.

I almost feel bad for the lady from California who "just wanted her daughter to see the ad first"... but having had the one in Memphis snatched out from under me this past weekend, I'm over feeling bad about anybody who hesitates. :-)

I'm so excited!
