Well… Life is just nuts.  It always happens like this – you get really really busy, you start to figure things out, and then all of a suddent things go crazy and you just lose control.  Well that’s been our life the last couple of months…  I’ve got lots of thoughts I’d love to post on, however I don’t know when I’ll take time to type them up.  Don’t get me wrong, life is great!  I love the twists and turns that happen, and usually they are to help us change our thinking for some reason or another.  But sometimes its important to stop running around for a few minutes and reflect on the good things that you have.  We have our whole lives to get things done, and if we don’t, then does it really matter what we get done?  We need to take time for ourselves and our families and then we will have more energy to ge the things done that we need to.  So take some time, right now, and sit back and think a bit about where you are, and how you got there.  Then get back to thinking about what you need to do to get to where you want to be!

Ok, so Google created a browser. I haven’t spent a ton of time playing with it, but its worth a look if you haven’t downloaded it yet. It can be downloaded for windows only right now at http://google.com/chrome. Below are my thoughts:

1. It seems to load pages (particularly AJAX based apps) quite quickly.

2. It seems to respond quickly in general as far as switching between tabs and pages and such.

3. I like the tabs in the top bar and not having them take up the normal bar – it made the whole thing seem like it had a lot more space (although I do also have the web developer toolbar taking up a row too…)

4. I need some of my add-ons from Firefox, namely Adblock Plus. I just could not stand to use it for very long for real web searching with all the ads interrupting me…

Overall opinion – I like it but I will wait and let it develop before I think hard about adopting it as my default browser.
