Finally some time off. On Thursday and Friday I got to watch the Detroit Tigers win 2 in Baltimore. Also we did some biking there including a stop at Fort McHenry and Faidley’s Seafood (best Crab Cakes I’ve ever had). Sunday we rode our bikes from Old Town Alexandria to Mount Vernon. Sunday evening we took a Potomac River cruise to view Washington D.C. from the water. There was beer involved 🙂 Monday I got to watch ex-Tiger Max Scherzer and the Washington Nationals get a win against the Miami Marlins. So now, back to work.

Firefox 55
“Today’s release brings innovative functionality, improvements to core browser performance, and more proof that we’re committed to making Firefox better than ever. New features include support for WebVR, making Firefox the first Windows desktop browser to support VR experiences. Performance changes include significantly faster startup times when restoring lots of tabs and settings that let users take greater control of our new multi-process architecture. We’ve also upgraded the address bar to make finding what you want easier, with search suggestions and the integration of our one-click search feature, and safer, by prioritizing the secure – https – version of sites when possible.”
