What to do in Las Vegas...

leapfish and I are visiting Las Vegas in February. Some of you have claimed you'll be showing up then too, which is excellent! But here's the thing: we need some sort of event to go to!

This page seems to list every event happening anywhere in LV. See any gems in this pile of glitter, feathers, and former greats?

Gmail Bug Survey

Needed: People with Gmail accounts and Firefox 1.5 installed on their PCs.

I request that you try the steps below to see if the same thing happens to you, then comment and let me know your results:

1. Close down all running Firefox windows.
2. Start Firefox
3. Maximize the window if necessary.
4. Load up Gmail, and log in.
5. Hit CTRL-T
6. Hit CTRL-W
7. Hit CTRL-T
8. Hit CTRL-W
9. Hit CTRL-T
   
   (Ctrl-T opens a new tab, and Ctrl-W closes the current tab.)

If your window is no longer maximized, you've got the same problem! I don't know what the issue is, but it's happened to me on three different PCs. All are running Windows XP though, I haven't tested on other platforms yet.

I can't make it happen on other websites, but Gmail seems to work well. If you're really interested, I'm using the secure Gmail, https://mail.google.com.

"Do You Support Homosexual Sex Marriage?"

Calgary West MP Rob Anders is previously known for such hits as calling his opponent 'not anti-gay and anti-abortion enough,' and suggesting that Nelson Mandela was a terrorist. Of 308 MPs of five parties, he was the only one to object to giving Mandela honourary Canadian citizenship when he visited in 2002.

This week he sent an "mailer" (those Update From Your MP-style pamphlets you sometimes receive) not to his own riding, but rather to a riding in Richmond, BC. This is legal, just weird.

The survey bears a masked man with a gun on the front, under the question: "Are you concerned about the impact of the Crystal Meth epidemic in your community?"

The mailer concludes: "Tell Paul Martin to get tough on crime by filling out this questionnaire."

There are four survey questions:

- Do you like the way Paul Martin spends your taxes?

- Are the Liberals doing enough to fight crime?

- Do you support homosexual sex marriage?

- Do you think more should be spent on the military?

Ummm...
