Opening My Mind to New Experiences

Today was an interesting day at ORNL. I got to go hear a talk given by U. S. Secretary of Energy, Steven Chu. He talked about energy, climate change, and opportunities. It was actually pretty fascinating, despite my expectation that it would be on the dull side. I was glad to get to hear him speak.
I also helped identify a computer problem that has been limiting my ability to access fulltext articles for the past couple days. Apparently the problem is related to cookie session in Internet Explorer, so my workaround for the time being has been to use Mozilla Firefox. I have to say that I *love* the personas on firefox! I am using one now that is called "Japanese Tattoo" or something to that effect, and every time I open my browser, I smile. Who would've thought that such a little thing could make a big difference? I wish I could use firefox at all my workplaces, but alas, I cannot.
In other news, I'm interested in learning more about funky shoes that shape up your legs. Has anyone tried them, and if so, what do you think? At approximately $100 a pair, I'd need a very strong endorsement to even consider purchasing a pair. I'd love to hear (er, read) your stories!
