I am so excited to talk about a new purchase I made, but I decided that there was something more important to write about! Mozilla Firefox has been my browser of choice ever since it came out. It looks nicer, more secure, better features, and it is more compliant with valid code (this is the most important to me since I am a web programmer). The 2.0 release of Firefox was just released, and to celebrate parties are popping up all over the world! I would love to spend some time talking about the new features of Firefox 2.0, but this post is geared more towards the parties...I will have to post again to talk about all of the new and cool stuff in Firefox.

The Mozilla group has setup a website that allows people to view details to all of the Firefox parties or to create their own party. Most of the parties will be held on the weekend of October 27, but the date is up to the creator of the party. There are already 521 parties around the world, and 4173 partygoers! I think that if you are throwing a halloween party already this weekend, you should just switch the theme and party with Mozilla. My favorite part of the site (why this article is found in the Map section) has to be the View Map page. They are using Google's resources perfectly! They have an interactive map image of the world, and have thumbnails showing details of all the parties. I was sad to see that both Buffalo and Rochester are party-less so far. If you decide to create a party in either of the areas, send me an invite! I hope everyone that can attend really enjoys their parties...and don't forget to leave a comment as to what party you will be attending and anything cool that happened at the parties.
