Google Chrome

Well folks, Google Chrome is out. I downloaded it at school and it would not install via our firewall. Downloaded it at the studio. Firefox was running and Chrome wanted me to close out to convert over the bookmarks. I was in the middle of a 1983 set from the Grateful Dead and was not about to close my browser. Later, when I was closed out of Firefox it was easy to import bookmarks and passwords to the Chrome browser. It is nice. Tabbed browsing. The tools button on the far right and no menu selections at the top of the screen make it a bit disconcerting. It looks good to me thus far.
Back at school they have blocked the Chrome Download altogether.

Coffee Musings

What is it about the anticipation of travel that brings up the spiritual? That is it seems the movement to a place with purpose brings a direction of thought and feeling that is not possible in the stillness. Now the stillness is a bringer of a peace unmatched; movement bringing out something different, a yearning fulfilled.

Morning Zen

It has been a flurry of thoughts and actions and business and what nexts. Making a choice and sticking to it with amendments and opinions of others to taint the thought of what is right, what is wrong, and what is right for me is a trip. Finding the strength to stand by a decision even more hard.

Coffee

The bean, the bean roasted to perfection. Grown in the shade of mountains tended by loving hands. Imparting love through its process. Read that the right cup of outstanding quality and care of preparation can make evev the grayest of skys turn blue. Or something like that. In the front seat is a half pound of sumatra litang. The truck smells of wonder and joym

Morning Zen

How to listen...Look at not through, do not speak, wait, focus on the other, allow no distraction, care.

Palin

Michael Palin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And I thought this was the guy that they picked for the Veep position over at the GOP. What great fun that would be.

Technological Pedagogy

Thinking now about the teaching of technology. Wesley Fryer over at the Speed of Creativity got me going again on all of this. So many questions, so few answers. What needs to be done? What can I do? What is possible given the constraints of technology, time, training. What can be implemented, how to do so, how to keep up? It is really enough to fry the brain of a semi-technology literate fellow. I can only imagine what it must be like for someone with little to no tech knowledge. What next?

why do I have to shrink and go away so someone else gets to grow?"
