The Choice Was Not Hard (T-Shirt Woot)

A little while ago, my sister posted a picture of the then current T-Shirt Woot item. The title of her blog and the T-Shirt offer were New Kid in Town.

In the spirit of that post, which can be found on her Salt and Light blog, I too have found a picture I have truly fallen in love with.

Yes, that is about it. Just a quick little note to share this with everyone!

Joy is a Sling?

Most recently I began to wonder, question, ponder, inquire, seek the answer to the query What is joy?

Well if you talk to enough in your daily walk of life and ask this question, one plausible answer you will get is,

"You will know it when you see it"

I was in a pharmacy yesterday, and based on these pictures of products I saw, I think I know what joy looks like. And I even know how you can get joy. You can buy it. It is called a sling.

Now that you've probably stopped laughing, I will take it a little too deep. The ladies of course are just ad figures for a product. But when you really think about it, a sling is joy.

• a support in your time of need
• helps you when you cannot help yourself
• is not designed to be permanent
• when you are well on your way to your healing, it can be removed
• is not free, it will cost you something
• comes when you need it the most, after you've probably been hurt
• will probably be forgotten after the painful season in your life is over
• will be there for you in the future should the need arise
  

Google Chrome

Have you heard about a new browser by Google? I certainly thought my ear was to the ground on things of this nature. But I admit I was caught completely unawares!

I know that Firefox (my most favorite web browser) was on version 3.01 with a 3.02 slated to come out very soon. But I had not known, until today, that Google was making a launch into their own browser. The following text is taken from an article on rlslog, with my highlights in RED.

Google managed to steal the march on the IT news press by announcing its forthcoming new browser whilst the US was busy celebrating Labour Day. As the rest of the world was scratching around for news because the US was shut, Google could be guaranteed to get lots of attention worldwide for its announcement. The free browser, called Chrome, is supposed to be available for downloading today in more than 100 countries for computers running on Windows. Versions for OSX and Linux are still being worked on.

Chrome has more tools for Web surfers to cloak their online preferences, creating a shield that could make it more difficult for Google and other marketing networks to figure out which ads are most likely to appeal to which individuals. Having had a look at it there is not much difference between Chrome and all the other browsers out there and time will tell where its security holes are. Quite where this will leave Firefox – which ranks as the second most popular browser, and which has been dependent on Google support – is anyone's guess. Google recently extended its advertising alliance with Firefox through 2011.

I really wonder how well this browser by Google will protect you from Google? A comic book style explanation of the browser is available online through Google if you are interested in learning more.
