I really like ice cream. But sometimes I’m too lazy to sit there and use a spoon. So when that happens I reach for an ice cream shake. Here are the ones in town I like in most favorite to least:

Recommended:

Big Top – pretty much perfect.

EZ’s – good options. Offers malts too.

Mighty Fine – pretty good

P Terrys – portion seems small but is still a lot of calories. good price. gave me gas last time though… cheap prices mean cheap dairy I guess.

Fuddruckers – It’s been a very long time since I’ve been, but I remember liking it.

Avoid:

Hideout – Oreo shake was blended far beyond what it should have been and lost its consistency

Mighty Cone

Alamo Drafthouse – The most disappointing shake I’ve had because it’s also one of the most expensive. It’s like drinking warm whipped cream.

This was first a post about one about:config entry in FireFox I wanted to remember. But now there are several, so for easy reference, I am going to just put all of them into one post.

Fixing Accidental Page Zooms (FireFox + Logitech G9x)

I’ve got the Logitech G9x, and I use it with the “microgear” off so my mouse wheel spins free. Unfortunately, I also use Ctrl+click a lot to open tabs, and my free spinning mousewheel triggers the page zoom when I hit Ctrl. If you accidentally zoom all the time like me, you’d like to disable that key combination. And you can. Just go to about:config and find mousewheel.withcontrolkey.action and change it from 3 to 0
mousewheel.withcontrolkey.action = 0

Keeping New Tab Jumpstart from stealing focus

One of the “features” of New Tab JumpStart 0.5a5.4 turns out to be a major annoyance. It steals the focus from your location bar to its own tiny non-awesome bar. You can fix it with:
mlalevic.jumpstart.focus_on_search = false
