Today is the tenth anniversary of the Firefox web browser! It’s also Monday and the Mozilla Monday meeting. I decided this would be a great day to go down to the office and join in on the meeting. I’d also be able to see Katt and hopefully others I know that work there. I called Katt to make sure it was ok and she said it was fine. I also let Amanda know I was going and she said she’d come down as well.

I headed downtown on the Max and went to the bank first and then over to the theater to get tickets for a showing of Citizenfour later that night. The box office wasn’t open yet so I headed to Mozilla. It was kind of cold so I decided to cut through Powell’s. Of course I love books too much not to stop and look at them and of course they were having a buy two get one free sale. I ended up with some books.

I continued my way to Mozilla and It felt great to be going back there. I walked in, chatted with Katt for a bit while I signed in, and then headed over to the kitchen. There were several Mozillians there and it seemed they were making pancakes. Jim, who helped with my drama bug, was there and it was great to see him. Christie was also there. I had met her at Open Source Bridge earlier in the year. I talked with her for a while and she mentioned that she was developing a learning resources wiki page and wanted to know if I would take a look at it. Katt also let me know that there would be lunch and that I was welcome to stay and join. Ok!

Amanda showed up and the meeting was about to begin so we all sat down and watched the meeting. It was a very happy celebration that included a champagne toast. One of the Portland Mozillians presented the new Firefox Developer Edition and it looked so nice! Another Mozillian showed off a great add-on called Privacy Coach for Android which should help the general public with their privacy settings. Those Mozillians are doing so many cool things!

Lunch showed up and there was my favorite pizza from Sizzle Pie as well as a delicious kale salad and some lemon or lemongrass tempeh. There were also vegan chocolate cupcakes with a coconut caramel filling. I was SO full! Thanks Mozilla and Katt!

Christie and I moved to a table and she showed me her preliminary learning resources page. We talked about what her vision was for it and she had me get an account so I could contribute. She had to leave though as did Amanda so I stayed for just a bit longer before packing up to head back to the theater to get our tickets. I stopped in to Sir la Table to see if they had the stainless steel cooling racks I had been looking for. They did and they were on sale! Yay, more stuff to carry. I finally made it to the box office and decided on the 21:15 showing. I bought an extra ticket for Jason in case he wanted to go since they were only $5.

I got home and found out that Jason was sick so I asked Roger if he wanted to join us since his husband was out of town. He said he did so problem solved. I finished up a bug I was working on and submitted a pull request. Peter was gone for the day by then though so I’d have to see if everything was ok the next day.

I practiced drums for about a half hour and then screwed around on the internet until it was time to leave. We decided to go to dinner before the movie. Ok, I decided we’d go to dinner before the movie and of course picked Los Gorditos! Roger had never eaten there (what?!?). It wasn’t very busy at all since it was Monday. Our food was great as usual and Roger really liked it. We were all so full!

We walked our stuffed selves up to the theater but of course ordered popcorn and drinks. It’s a Living Room theater so the guys were able to get beer and wine. We sat down and it was ridiculously cold in there. I was shivering and the air just kept blowing. Finally it shut off and warmed up in there. This was not good either though because it was late and I was warm and full. I nodded off so many times! What I saw of the documentary was good though. I think Ed Snowden is a hero and I hope even more people come forward to call out government wrongdoing.

When we walked outside we were all shocked by how much the temperature had dropped and how much the wind had picked up. Some intense Arctic storm was blowing in. Brrrr! We walked quickly to the car. I got to see our beautiful city all lit up as we drove home. I love living here!

Today I learned that I might have a thing to do for Mozilla for a few months. I’ll know for sure in a couple of days.
