European hypocrisy

A group within the European Union is having trouble with Google’s privacy issues such as keeping logs for over 6 months.

Insomniatic posting

Can’t sleep and thought I’d write something. Listening to Owl City who I’ve just discovered. They sound like Death Cab. Very relaxing.
Met a girl. Probably won’t work out long term but it’s nice to have someone to hold.

Understanding entropy

I don’t know if enough people get just how random things are. Today was a perfect example of what I’m talking about.
For the past several days all I’ve been hearing is how much it’s going to rain on Saturday (today). Hurricane Ike was coming and we were supposed to be in its path so the [...]

Google appears to be coming out with their own browser called Chrome click here for screenshots. Do we really need another browser? We already have three major ones and countless niche browsers.
