It must be said

I've avoided this for a long time but I have to put it out there.

I love cheese ravioli.

That is all.

Use Safari to download JibJab Bush-Kerry spoofs - for free!

Here's a great tip by Alex over at Mac 360:

Use Safari to download Flash .swf files from the web, including JibJab’s new Bush-Kerry spoof. Free.

Here's the condensed how-to. Use Safari and go to JibJab and click on the link to the flash movie you're interested in. Once the movie begins to load in the pop-up window go to the Window menu and choose Activity. This will bring up a new window that has a list of all of your currently open windows or tabs. Many of these have a small black disclosure triangle that you can click that indicate the details for that page. Navigate to JibJab in that list and look for a file that will show (on the right side) that it is downloading a file that is around 3.8 MB. Option double-click the line that contains this download and it will download right to your desktop.

You can use this for most pages that offer a hidden or embedded link to a media file. Note that this Activity window in Safari shows all of the files that are downloaded as a part of any page load. You'll see each and every graphic that has loaded in a page. You might find this useful in the future.
