Sneaky Chrome updates again
August 21st, 2010Chrome is a true Google product. Google, whose point of view is the Internet and constantly-updating content, updates Chrome silently. Restarting Chrome very well might yield new features, which is what just happened to me. My initial reaction was, “Ah, very cool, but wait what did it used to look like?” So here’s a screenshot of Google Chrome 5 versus 6:
Excellent! Bing really is a decision engine.

Abomination or AWESOME?
June 20th, 2010I love my Zune. It’s small, and great at what it does: play music. With my Zune Pass music subscription, I can slurp up just about any song from the Zune Marketplace for a flat rate of $15 a month. I am also growing to quite appreciate my shiny new iPad. My friends and family often see me as a die-hard Microsoft buff, but I know better than that. My brother once jokingly accused me of Microsoft fanboy-ism for showing him an article about some Microsoft Research project. I was viewing the webpage in my browser of choice, Google Chrome.
Seriously, America?
April 27th, 2010Oh no, ASS!
RoomieRemake woke me up and made me coffee!
April 26th, 2010I recently rearranged the Z-Wave modules in my house to devices that I care about controlling more. I put one on the coffee maker so that I could preload it and either schedule it to turn on or turn it on through the Roomie website, which would be good for if I were heading home sometime and wanted a fresh cup waiting for me. I also put a module on my computer monitors and speakers, which are in my bedroom. This lets a script turn them off when I go to bed and back on right before a script wakes me up with music.
This morning RoomieRemake woke me up with two short scripts. And hey, more news! I used the recently-updated website (which I’ve apparently never directly blogged about) to write the scripts. Here’s a screenshot of that.
Here’s the script that ran on Dreaming Nest, my Home Server, which has a ThinkStick USB Z-Wave controller.
