Regarding my logo... To make sense of the letter order arrangement of the alphabet, make the following spatial translations, (a chevron pattern). Swap k & q and p & v. Swap o & s and t & x. Swap w & z. This makes for a very useful mnemonic arrangement in phonetics. Fold the alphabet creasing along the qlmns axis. Note similarities of overlapping letters. Note the positions of the vowels and semivowels. Note the arrangement of voiced and unvoiced letters. The stops are bdg & ptk. Labials are bf & pv. Nasals are m & n. Theory: The phonetic map of the neural region that decodes letters in the brain resembles a mouth. Closely located letters may blur or exchange. For instance with the loss of distinction between l and r sound for Japanese. And the similar loss of distinction between b & v for Hispanics (which assumes a fold in the neural cluster). Likewise the exchange use of x & j in words like Javier & Xavier or Texas and Tejas. The 5x5 array reflects a dense pack ordering, which would be typical of a real time system. The question is how can an ancient people know anything about neural phonetic mapping to provide any order to phonemes arrays? As for seeing a mouth structure in the pattern, look where the labials are (lips) and the dentals (teeth). The tongue is at "L" position. The nasals of course are at the back of the mouth near the throat. As for the vowels, I've no suggestion why they might be outside the mouth on the corners?

Gadgets & Tech – Firefox tab browsing has always been a favorite feature. But sometimes tabs can get out of control and out of sight. Like when you have many tabs open and you need to navigate using the tab scrolling arrows. I don't mind using the arrows, but since the default tab width is too wide, it reduces the number of tabs displayed.Here's a quick fix to set
