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 had lunch at La Musique in Hotel St. Regis in New Center Detroit. Everything looks great!

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:
