Practicality.

Something I have very little of.

My significant other and I had a little "discussion" today about web browsing.  Well, should have seen it coming really, given that it happens every other week.  Today, as usual, chrome was the topic of discussion, i.e. why I think it's so great.  And I won't go into specifics on that, because I know there is quite the browser war out there, and I'm not going to feed the flames (especially with the majority of this blog's readers being IE users).

Long story short, I like having only the features I need, with the ability to customize my browser to do whatever I want it to.  And the speed is a plus.

Anywho, amidst my nerdy internet surfing this afternoon, I stumbled upon THIS!

*Queue heavenly choir*

Basically, its a laptop/netbook that starts up in 10 seconds flat, and only has a browser, with many built in apps for all the everyday things you do on your computer.  Pretty much sums up practicality to the letter.  I saw it months ago in a press release on YouTube, but didn't think it was coming out for a while!  I am so darn excited.  I signed up for the trial.  Its a long shot, but maybe they need the opinions of some college students (and Google men) like myself. I mean, as candidates go, I use Google products for everything...

But yeah.  Cross your fingers for me.  It said they only need a handful of testers, but I'm optimistic.  Again.  Seems like I have a lot of optimism keeping me going these days.  Anyway, I can't wait to play with this, whether I get to be a part of the trial, or just have to wait for it to hit stores.

Also on my mind today?  Adsense is pretty amazing.  So is waking up to find snow.  And having a really cool girlfriend.  That's neat.
