In my line of work, it is critical that I am on top of all of the latest browsers and internet technologies. So when Google suddenly decided to release their own browser 2 days ago (called Chrome), I was right on top of it. I read the comic book intro for it while I was waiting for the download to be available (btw, awesome way to describe … well … anything – much more interesting than reading an article … hrm). Some of the features sounded really cool and smart. Some of them worried me a little (at least on a professional level). After using it (which I am right now to write this), most of my concerns were quickly abated and all of the features were as good as or better than I expected. Read more “And Then there was Chrome”

Anakin Gets Animated … Again
I spent the better part of 15 minutes the other day explaining to my 4-year-old daughter where the new Star Wars: The Clone Wars fits in the schema of the Star Wars Saga.

But at least the latter may end up being rectified other the next few months through some trips to Blockbuster. Read more “Anakin Gets Animated … Again”
Paradise Stop-Lossed
I recently rented the movie Stop-Loss. While I appreciate the value of a military, I myself would be the last person to suit up for that type of role. I do not have a very strong sense of patriotism beyond the fact that I would like to maintain my lifestyle. In a way I envy people who can be so devoted to a nation – any nation – to the point that they are willing to put their life on the line. There is a pride in that that I have yet to experience. But back to topic. Read more “Paradise Stop-Lossed”
Knighted
I finally made it out to see “Dark Knight” (see my prior post to read more about my delays in getting to the theater). My sister-in-law volunteered to babysit the kids for the evening so my wife and I could step out on a date. And what better date for a couple married over 11 years than one that involves very little conversation (sorry, dear – the joke was there). She wanted to see it as much as I did, so it was a welcome retreat for both of us. Though after seeing it, I think she isn’t sure it was the retreat she had hoped for. Read more “Knighted”
