In one of the few areas of agreement in last night’s debate, the presidential candidates both expressed support for the 700 billion dollar bailout package being debated in congress.

My cardboard boat has passed it’s first real-world test. On Wednesday of this week I took it for a short run on Meadow Grounds Lake near McConnellsburg, PA. And yes, it still floats. Click here to watch the video.
A few weeks ago, Google took the wraps off of a new web browser called “Chrome“. The browser enters into competition against a handful of entrenched foes, mostly notably Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. I took Google Chrome for a spin over the past few days and like what I see. The user interface is simpler than either IE or Firefox, and it appears to be the fastest of the three browsers as well.
Chrome is supposedly optimized to run web applications such as those provided by Google. Some even say it will eventually replace Windows as fewer applications are installed on computers and more of them hosted online.
What do you think? Is this a possibility?
If you’re tired of watching modern TV shows, take a break and head over to my newly remodeled web site www.tooncrazy.tv (actually, I’d prefer that you did your family a favor and take a permenant break from TV – throw it out). ToonCrazy.tv has a small collection of animated classics such as Popeye, Bugs Bunny, and others. The site is advertiser-supported, so there is never a charge to watch.
