iPad has actually been around since 2007

No Impact Man

We watched No Impact Man last night. The documentary follows Colin Beavan, his wife Michelle Conlin and their daughter Isabella through a year in which they change their lifestyle as much as possible to reduce their carbon footprint. One could certainly find flaws in these folks, but overall, I thought the experiment was interesting and admirable. Doesn't make me want to stop using electricity or toilet paper, but does reinforce my feeling that I should be doing more. Putting out the recycling every Friday (in a large plastic bag, no less) is not the most I can do.

Justin Timberlake singing Leonard Cohen

Love this song. The JT version is not the breathy, sexy version on Jeff Buckley's Grace, but lovely and heartfelt nonetheless.

Google Chrome 4.0

I've become addicted to using Chrome for browsing. I can hardly use anything else these days, though I'm sure I'd feel differently if I was a full time Mac user. I've become so blinded, it's hard for me to imagine people use other things. Of course, just checking web stats brings me back to reality a bit, but I have to wonder, who are all those people? And why are they still on IE 6 (or 7 or 8, what's the story with 9)? Or Firefox 2 (or 3.#)? OK, I know I'll hear about FF


What are you using?


Most exciting thing about new version of Google Chrome (4.0) for me is probably the bookmark sync. Doubt I'll know what to with much else of it. I'm sure I'll come around to the other features just in time for 5.0 to come out.
