Its going to reach 100F in Raleigh today. That means staying inside is pretty much the only thing to do today. So, seeing as Im stuck inside, I thought Id share some weekend Picks.

First up, Google has revealed the process it went through to come up with its new favicons:

There were, apparently, a whole bunch of rejects:

Anyway, it seems even Googles not married to the new favicons. Its seeking your suggestions too!

OK, on to other Picks

• I dont agree with Rafe Needlemans suggestion that Twitter should shut down, while it does some repairs. Sure, outages might send users elsewhere, but closing the doors will guarantee it!
• Googles PR wheels are on full spin, with its recap of the opening ceremony of its new Lenoir, NC data center.
• Ive just made the switch to Firefox 3"even though Google has yet to release a compatible toolbar!"and if youre considering the switch, this great video will walk you through the new features. Be warned, not all my bookmarks transferred, and I had to re-enter a lot of passwords, but overall the switch has been worth it.
• Meanwhile, Googles spending big bucks on outdoor advertising in Russia.
