My Quick Take on Google Chrome

September 13, 2008 12:02 am
Google released Chrome, their new browser. After downloading and using it for a few days, I've come to like a few features. The simple design choice of making the tab the main focus is a subtle difference than the other modern browsers (IE7, Firefox, Opera). It makes a lot of sense, though. The simplified address bar is not really anything new (just type ? in the address bar in Firefox, for example). Google just took it a step further by completely removing the search box. I hope changes like these will push the competition in the right direction.

While I'm not going to drop Firefox - mostly due to plugins - I will use Google Chrome for quick web lookups. The "application shortcuts" are a bit nicer than a plain old shortcut to a website. I'll probably end up using Chrome for Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Reader. I'll use Firefox for longer browsing sessions.

I went out to a new restaurant that just opened called "South Beach". It's an upscale pizza place that has has pretty good pizza at a surprisingly affordable price. A large pizza with the works was only $12. Pics:

The Earth Strain: Is it OK if we contaminate the universe?

May 27, 2008 5:59 pm
"In a vast, cold universe we aren't just "Keepers of the Sacred Flame" of life, we are the bloody flame. So if our microbes spread life, are we committing a sin or a brilliant blessing?"

Light Rail Coming To Detroit

April 23, 2008 7:54 am
The Detroit Transit Options for Growth Study (DTOGS) released a press release outlining a plan to secure federal funds to build a light rail transit system along the Woodward corridor in Detroit. The rail system would be a starter line for a more regional transit system. Imagine going from Pontiac to Birmingham, to Royal Oak and Ferndale, and all the way down to Detroit's New Center, Wayne State University, and Fox Town all on light rail?

The initial line would run up Woodward Avenue starting next to Comerica Park, Ford Field and the Fox Theater, and run up to the State Fairgrounds at 8-Mile road. The idea is that Oakland county would be able to extend the line further up Woodward and into the surrounding cities. This is definitely something the region needs.

Here's a demonstration of what it might look like:


At an initial cost of $371 million, the DTOGS Project, led by the Detroit Department of Transporation (DDOT) is looking to secure up to 60% of the funds from the Federal Transit Administration. The remaining funds would come from "other Federal, state and local funding sources". DDOT is working with the URS Corporation, a consulting firm with previous success in helping cities through the Federal review process.

Construction on Woodward Avenue could begin as soon as 2011. Finally! Mass transit in Motown!

Life Without Arrogance

April 21, 2008 10:52 am
Arrogance might not be such a bad thing afterall...

From Little Bites of Point:
When a person asks if they look fat, the answer is always yes. People who are fit, know they are fit. It's perhaps unfortunate, but common sense requires that you acknowledge that people who look good know they look good, even if well advised politeness or political correctness causes them to suppress any expression of that which is plain to see.

He goes on:
Instead of suppressing the best among us with guilt, jealously and socialist policies, imagine a world in which all extraordinary people were deluded into believing they are average, then realize how grateful you are the world has not been deprived of the benefits derived from their contributions.

U.S. Debt

April 17, 2008 9:51 pm
Jim Jubak writes:
The taxes you paid on your recently filed 1040 included roughly $4,300 to cover your household's annual share of the interest payments on the $9.4 trillion in public debt owed by the U.S. government.


David Walker, Comptroller General of the United States:
The most serious threat to the United States ... is our own fiscal responsibility.
