Nestea Sparkz - fills my world with bubbles

Just ran into Nestea Sparkz at my local 7-11. The bottle of tea looked like other Nestea bottles but had a grey/silver sheen to it. Plus the logo said "Sparkz." At first I was hesitent to try it. I thought it was going to be a mint flavor or something like Air Wave gum or possibly some Pop Rock may gave been tossed in. However, I was pleasently surprised -- it was carbonated.

Carbonated tea does not sound so yummy, but I must admit I like it. It is not something you chug down, but rather drink while working or watchin' the boob-tube. Flavor wise it is lemon and sugar tea like their on the shelf lemon flavored tea. The fizz does give the drink a little differnt effect. In a way it is like drinking a flavored Mike's Hard Lemonade, Smirnoff Ice, or other flavored vodka (or malt- USA you so weird) bottled drink.

I would not buy it all the time, but as a special treat I'm all about it.

I'm Top of the Top in Intellegence According to Report

New York-based Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) June 9 has announced the most intelligent communities of 2006.

Taipei was number one and number two was Cleveland, Ohio. This must make me one of the most intelligent people around. Logically thinking: I am from Cleveland, Ohio and currently live in Taipei – thus I am from the TWO Top Intelligent Communities of the WORLD.

I always knew I was special.......

Firefox Flash and Quicktime Fix

What to do if QuickTime takes over handling Flash content on Firefox

When you install QuickTime, or change your QuickTime settings, it may take over handling of Macromedia Flash files. However, this can be fixed quite easily. To stop QuickTime from handling Flash files, do the following:

1 -Close Mozilla (or Firefox)
2 - Open the QuickTime Control Panel
3 - Select "Browser Plug-in" from the dropdown menu
4 - Open up the MIME Settings dialog
5 - Make sure "Flash file" is not selected. This is listed under Miscellaneous.
6 - Click OK, and close the QuickTime Control Panel
7 - Remove the file pluginreg.dat from your Profile Folder. This file will be recreated next time you start Mozilla
8 - Remove npqt*.dll from your Mozilla or Firefox plugins folder. These files are not required, and can cause problems when QuickTime is upgraded

I normally do not post computer isuses here, but I had such a difficult time finding this solution.
