Okay, this one isn't really a spelling/grammar/etc thing, but it's still the result of not proofreading:

On [technology is good]:
"Vista: Not Going Anywhere
At least not until 2010. Read what D has to say about Vista misconceptions and what's in store for Windows7."

From what I understand... there's supposed to be a link in there somewhere.  But, as they haven't A: changed or B: fixed the error on the News & Politics change since that first post with a list of [_____ is good] errors, I have a feeling that the rest of Vox will never know what D has to say about Vista misconceptions & Windows7. Unless, of course, we realize that we don't have to rely on the tech is good page to spoonfeed us, and we actually do a little work to find said post.

In other news, yesterday was definitely the best Fourth of July to date.  Last year, I was on a plane to Italy, so I spent my Independence Day 2007 on a very.long.flight. in an aisle row next to a man who needed to get up every ten minutes to use the restroom and behind a man who felt the need to lean his seat back as far as humanly possible in an apparent attempt to crush my kneecaps into a billion pieces/just ignore the fact that I had kneecaps to begin with.  The year before, I somehow ended up at a very lame, lame party thrown by someone my parents knew, away from all of my friends, with pretty much no one to talk to, bored out of my skull.  So this year didn't have a lot to live up to in comparison with the past two years.... but I do remember, before 2006, having a nice 4th of July every once in a while.  SO - The point is that this one definitely topped all of those pre-2006 4th celebrations.

The boy and I left kind of early in the morning to get fireworks and then headed to where our friends were getting ready to go boating.  We met them there and went swimming/ate while waiting for the people with the boat to get there, and then went we all went tubing for a while... I have 28 new bruises from tubing alone, but it was ridiculously fun .... and some people went wakeboarding and kneeboarding - I didn't, and there were a few others who just watched as well, but even watching everyone else was a lot of fun :)  p
After that we went to his parents' house, ate dinner and set off some fireworks there, and then met up with three friends who had also been with us boating earlier to watch fireworks in the same general area where we were earlier in the day tubing and everything.  We couldn't find them at first but eventually did, and we all sat on one of the docks watching the fireworks, which were actually really impressive. 
The whole day was so much fun :)
Hope everyone else had a great 4th too!
