Google Pushes Chrome Browser With TV Commercials

Google Pushes Chrome Browser With TV Commercials

Wow, Google is really pushing its browser, Google Chrome.  The Google blog just announced that they'll be using TV commercials to further the cause.  Here's a clip.

Google has already set up a YouTube channel for Google Chrome, with a collection of videos to explain what makes Google Chrome different from Internet Explorer and Firefox.

I'm excited to see Google pushing Chrome so hard.  In my opinion, Chrome is a better browser than Firefox (and obviously Internet Explorer as well).  I use it exclusively on every PC I use.  It's blazingly fast.  If you haven't tried it out yet, give it a whirl:

Don't know what Twitter is?  This video might clear up some of the confusion.

I guess the dog really didn't want to be trained.

Found on The Daily "Worse Than Failure".

Do Dogs Have Emotions?

Do Dogs Have Emotions?

Here's my dog, Monster.  Isn't he great?

He loves to put his belly on the cool hardwood floors when it's hot outside.  Check out his hind legs:

 

He's cute and he knows it.  My wife and I got him in September of 2006, and the little guy definitely lives up to his name.  Earlier today, he almost chewed through the cap on the bottle of some Gorilla Glue:

 

There's no doubt about it:  I love my dog.  My question for you is, do you think he's capable of loving me back?  Do dogs have emotions?

Back in college, I took a philosophy class where I learned that most of the well-known philosophers (Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Nietzsche, etc) believed that animals were incapable of emotion, or "feelings".  Of all the heated topics in that class, nothing even came close to the mayhem that ensued during the debates on this subject.

So, all the "smart guys" think the answer is no.  What do you think?  Do you have a story that serves as proof?  Leave a comment and let me know!

I think you know my opinion.  :-) 

 

Wrapped In Bacon

Wrapped In Bacon

On Saturday, I attended PADA.org's annual Thanksgiving ultimate frisbee hat tournament in Philadelphia.

I had the pleasure of being elected captain of the team that would become known as Wrapped In Bacon.

We went 3-0, winning the championship game 15-8.  I haven't had as much fun playing ultimate in a very long time. Special thanks to everyone on Wrapped In Bacon.  You all are amazing athletes, and it was a pleasure to be part of the team!
