“He gained entry by breaking the front door window and made his way into the property.

“Once inside, he found Sarah in her bedroom and subjected her to a frenzied and brutal attack with a knife and then attempted to take his own life.”

Firefox + Ubiquity + Twitter plugin = awesome

So yesterday I reconfirmed how badass this deadly combination is. You just take Firefox, add Ubiquity with Twitter and you can update your twitter status in about 3 seconds from your firefox browser via command line. My favorite though is that I’ve also tied my Twitter to my Facebook account and Blog so all will update at the same time. Watch the video about Ubiquity and you’ll see why it’s so cool.
