It is Fall. The temperature and the leaves are falling; the clock fell back, even the gasoline prices and politicians approval ratings are falling. But the Fall colors make up for the gloomier changes of this season, the shorter days and the colder mornings that we could do without.
Now the goblins are out looking for their costumes for the time honored celebration of Halloween. Our house decoration is out, there is even a hand-painted pumpkin at our door steps. We are ready! Come goblins... come! Come get your candy but be ready to be scared as well. The anticipation and preparation for Halloween is as much fun as the ghostly night itself.
We have real pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns; green spider webs with all kinds of little creatures caught in it, skeletons are everywhere, some with red blinking eyes when they laugh. It is a horrible sight indeed.

Portuguese] É Outono. A temperatura e as folhas estão caindo; até os preços da gasolina e as aprovações dos políticos estão caindo. Mas as cores do Outono compensam pelas mudanças mais tristes desta estação, dos dias mais curtos e das manhãs mais frias que nós poderíamos fazer sem.
Agora os fantasminhas estão procurando para fora seus trajes para o celebrar o Halloween. Nossa decoração da casa está para fora, lá esta uma abóbora pintada a mão na nossa porta. Nós estamos prontos! Vêm os fantasmas… vindos! Vêm comer seus doces e balas mas estajam prontos para ficar com medo também.
A antecipação e a preparação para Halloween é tanto divertido quanto a noite fantasmica.
Nós temos abóboras reais, jaque-o-lanternas; teias de aranha verdes com todos os tipos das criaturas pequenas travadas nela, esqueletos estão em toda parte, alguns com os olhos vermelhos piscando quando riem. É uma vista realmente horrivel.

Japanese for a 
hot spring bath house. After a few days we went to Kanazawa by Shinkansen, half the way, and then by regular train, a total of four hours trip from the east to the west coast of Japan. By now I had take a couple hundred snapshots, which by the way, I will gladly share with my friends with the patience to go over a slide show of few hundred pictures. Had a chance to visit once more the wonderful sites in Kanazawa such as the Kenroku-en garden 
, the Kanazawa Castle and the Geisha's Quarters
The new and long awaited version of the Internet Explorer (IE7) is now available for downloading. I have downloaded, tried it and here are my initial thoughts. Well, it does not quite make it, not enough for me to stop using my Firefox browser. Not to get too technical, here are few examples. First is the implementation of the "favicon.ico". Ie7 has improved the support of this handy web page icon.... but it comes up short. If the format is not exactly it expects in the exact location it will not display the favicon.ico for the page in the browser tab or in the bookmarks. 
Firefox does already support multiple formats and locations of the favicon.ico file. Minor point for some but why didn't Microsoft get this right is beyond me. The other is the way Firefox is much more intelligent and forgiving of html formatting issues. I run into several problems with this blog page where it would display as I had intended (by my modifications of the template) on the Firefox browser and very unpredictable results when using the Ie6. It does not matter if Ie is 100% compliant with the html specifications, what matters is that Firefox has enough smarts to help the users by forgiving certaing missing tags and still display as intended. Lastly, Firefox still feels a little faster and more intuitive than Ie7. Oh yes, one last point, Firefox 2.0 now checks your spelling as you input. Incorrect words are red underlined in real-time. Firefox is in the lead as far as I am concerned.
