Bummed out.

My computer has died and it's really bumming me out. I'm using a substitute computer but it doesn't have any of my programs, none of my passwords saved or anything else I need on a daily basis. It's going to be fixed but it's just a downer. Oh technology.

To Chrome or not to Chrome?

I've been getting alot of questions today about Google's web browser Chrome so I thought I would put up a quick little run down of what Chrome has to offer. When you first open Chrome, all you see is a tab and an address bar. Thats it. Everything you need to do is contained in the address bar. Web search, web history, Google search and bookmark menu is all there. No search boxes or toolbars to clutter everything up. On the performance side of things, Chrome has included some very handy tools like dynamic tabs, crash control and simpler downloads. One tool that is very usefull is incognito mode. This allows you to search the web without your pages showing up in the history. Quite handy for all you guys that work for companies who watch every move you make. You can watch short videos on all these features and more on Chrome's website.

What all this comes down too is that Chrome is fast. Really fast. Load times for pages is virtually nill and download speeds are super quick. Chrome is great for watching streaming tv or killing an hour on YouTube. The only downside to Chrome is the lack of add-ons that FireFox users (including myself) have come to love. Crome has some add-ons and themes available but they are no where as easy or usefull as the ones for FireFox.

In short, if you just want to check your email and watch Hulu, Chrome is the way to go. If you love your add-ons, go with FireFox.

Thanks Alabama

I just spent a few days in Tuscaloosa, AL and I really enjoyed it. Now Tuscaloosa isn't much of a town. Just really a college and a bunch of strip malls but to be able to get out of Greenville and experience something different is just what I needed. I got to hang out with a cool family, eat some really great food and I went to a mall where I was the most fashionable person in there. I know right. Me the most fashionable. Ha. I even found a bar that carried Imperial!! (a Costa Rican beer that brought back alot of good memories) Now that I'm back from my mini-vacation, I can attack everything with a clear head. Look out world, I'm comin' at ya. (insert SkinnyJ's dance here)
