    Ok, so I’m not usually one to get overly involved in politics.  I follow things, but I find that often I’m one of the onlookers who lets things happen as they will.  We can’t let just anything happen with this vote.  This is really a big deal and it needs to be dealt with in…

    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.…
