Only a couple of hours ago, Google launched its very own web browser, GoogleChrome.
The launch was not a complete surprise as Google accidently hit the “send” button a little early on part of its comic explaining the creation of the new browser.

I thought it would be nice to watch the Democratic National Convention tonight, and since I don’t have TV I went to the DNC webpage where I hoped to watch it live online.
Luckily, they were streaming the Convention live!
Unluckily, I had to install a Microsoft Silverlight plugin to watch it.

Don’t believe the skeptics! CFLs are a wise purchase: they save money and energy, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and they’re safe, too! Oh, and they even look better than regular incandescent bulbs. You should buy them. Seriously.

I don’t know if the “invention of the year” deserves its title (cool though it may be), but some of the other inventions on here are really incredible. I especially like the “Cars & Buses”, “Law & Order”, and “Environment” categories.

This novel was published after the Chilean-Mexican author's death, and I'm not even sure if it was entirely finished or not. It is broken up into five parts which, while connected, stand pretty much on there own. I have not yet made it to the grim part about the murders of hundreds of women in Mexico, so I have so far found it enjoyable and even funny despite some dark underpinnings. It's had a ton of critical praise, and I like it much more than my last foray into the violent novel genre: Blood Meridian.
Been listening to this one a lot, pretty much the whole way through.
