Screaming Penguin

So the Chrome OS announcement from Google has been all over the twitterverse and blogosphere today, why all the hype?

Well, for starters, rumors have been rampant for years that Google was going to jump into the operating system fray - and now they have. That's news in and of itself. In addition it's significant that the target is a quick web focus, rather than a full blown OS. And, of course, there are the booming questions of the day, why not just use Android, and or why at all?

Firefox 3.5 will be a significant milestone for the open source browser - props to everyone who has contributed, props and thanks.

So I competed in, and completed without having a heart attack, the Siege last weekend. It was a tough race, and the 97 degree temps didn't make it any easier ;). This was my first adventure race and I have to say, awesome. I especially liked the strategy and orienteering aspect when dealing with optional checkpoints (you had to get 2 checkpoints per discipline to finish, the rest, the more the more points you get, were optional). All in all it was a great event, well organized, a lot of fun.

I have another political rant that I want to share, this time concerning the recent events in Iran.
