IT WAS DONE BY CHILDREN!! I think they hit all the important stuff, and I think Jesus absolutely loved it! I think the third Wise Man threw his present; I think that was appropriate. There should be just a bit of awe and fear of this child, don't you think? It's always the intellectuals that are standoffish. But anyway, I laughed and teared up and thought it was just wonderful that parents and kids cared enough to take time to tell the story once again. It just never gets old. It shouldn't. It mustn't.

I think they're both great products, though I have some thoughts brewing about some of Svpply’s recent design decisions that seem a bit odd and/or unfocused.

Switched to FF6, which is the latest version they've pushed out here, and see the same thing. I'm a designer whose workplace dictates I use a Windows XP machine with 3GB of RAM and spend 25% of that time designing for web with only IE8 and FF6 to test compatibility. I feel like I should start a support group. ha Worth noting… Switched to FF6, which is the latest version they’ve pushed out here, and see the same thing.

I'm reading from work, though...on a government site stuck using IE8...which also blocks the Twitter domain completely. So that could have something to do with it? I guess not?
