Why won’t the McRib just stay put?
Why are they always bringing the McRib back? Why can’t it join the ranks of the McNuggets or the Big Mac? And should I really be that excited that has returned (or keeps returning)? Because any “ribs” are that boneless are truly mysterious to me and I’m not so sure I should be eating such mysterious things.
Shirt. Woot. Again.
I received my first paycheck from my new job Tuesday so what was my first big purchase? Three random shirts from Woot! I bought three random shirts many months back when they offered the random shirts for $6.66 each and the results weren’t so bad. (In fact, the Unhappy Meeting shirt is one of my favorites!)
Yesterday, I checked the mailbox to the house for the first time since I’ve moved in and what did I find? Woot shirts! I got one that I wasn’t a big fan of (at all), but the other two I will definitely throw into my normal rotation.
In unrelated news, this news article makes me laugh: Duck Stamp number sends callers to sex line. C’mon designers and marketing peoples, proofread that stuff!
Scandalous! sermons ahead…
It has been awhile since I have listened to the Mars Hill Seattle podcast/vodcast but they never seem to miss what is relevant and applicable to people’s lives today. Maybe it’s because they always make sure Jesus is preached and Jesus is always relevant and applicable.
I am quite stoked about Driscoll’s upcoming Song of Solomon (Song of Songs) series and think that even if I wasn’t a Christ follower, I’d definitely want to listen just because the topic is on sex. And really, honestly, who isn’t interested in that?
Google Chrome.
It’s been a relatively lax day at work today so I have been catching up on tech news. Little did I know today was the release of Google’s web browser, Chrome.
Needless to say, I’ve been reading about it and even watched a bit of their announcement before my F5 / refresh was fruitful. I immediately announced the live download link to my coworkers (fellow helpdesk techs) and away we went. Here’s what we found within the first thirty minutes.
- 2 out of 4 installs failed. Two guys are getting an application error when trying to launch Chrome. Re-installations failed as well (although they have not tried completely uninstalling first).
- One guy noted that Chrome messes up the myspace moods list. It doubles the list, throwing one half of the list in non-alphabetical order.
- The same guy notes that word wrapping in our ticketing system is not working right as it displays the same letter twice when getting to the edge of the window.
- Chrome does not prompt me to save and quit if there are multiple tabs open. It just lets me accidentally close all eight tabs!
On a more positive note, Chrome does seem to be a rendering beast! It has opened espn.com and Flash-ladened myspace pages much, much quicker than IE7 and Firefox. What I look forward to is the stability Google promises — if a webpage “crashes,” it should not affect the entire Chrome browser, just the tab the page it is opened in. That’ll be a good change in pace as I have been having problems with both IE7 and Firefox lately. (Flash causing IE7 to crash and Firefox not playing Flash movies after being opened for days.)
As a self-proclaimed Google loyalist (that one’s for you, Ann!), I say it’s definitely worth downloading and trying out. Let me know how it works for you!
