This page has an excellent overview of mirages, especially concentrating on the different types and the technical aspects of the physical phenomena that create them. The page has many links to sites with photographs and further information; I have yet to completely explore it.

Slashdot reports that Mozilla has turned five years old. I hadn’t realized that it’s been around for that long. As many of you have noticed, I’ve become quite the convert. If you haven’t already become convinced, give it a try!

Moving to further bolster its share of the weblog market after recently buying the blog publishing company Blogger, apparently Google has acquired Metafilter, one of the most popular collaborative blogs. What this means for Google’s emerging status as a heavyweight in the search and blog sector has yet to be seen.
