Like watch this guy just channel pain through his guitar - it blows a whole string off of it, and he just pushes through like an absolute beast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF_c5n7kTdw

Gutted to find out that Glen Hansard died a few months back. Fantastic song-writer, singer, and he could play the hell out of a guitar. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Hansard

Do you use custom wallpapers in #firefox 's New Tab? We've just enabled a flag in Firefox Nightly that lets you maintain a collection of custom wallpapers. More improvements beyond that soon!

I saw an extremely French-Canadian high-dive act at the CNE. It was great!

A high dive act is being performed. Lots of performers are all over the dive structure. There is much chaos - one has clearly jumped from a board, and gloves and shows are flying off of them. One is holding a large cardboard pizza slice. Another is climbing up to the tallest part of the high dive structure. It's extremely French-Canadian.

If you're using the default New Tab in #firefox Nightly, you might notice that a recent update has changed the behaviour of the search input on the New Tab page: instead of it doing the (awkward) "handoff" to the URL bar, interacting with the search input actually... lets you perform searches […]
