I'm on vacation...welllll...I'm home helping take care of the new baby and sick boy this week.

I'm googlin' and reading my O'Reilly JBoss at Work as well as an EJB 3.0 book borrowed from a co-worker. I had iTunes playing A.boy's "Sleep" play-list with the visualizer on, and that kept him in bed until the Pavlovian response put him to sleep. He woke for a bit when I waived a juice bottle in front of him, viciously attached to it, so at least his fluid intake is not zero.

I couldn't take any more "sleepytime" so now I've got disk IV from the Zeppelin box set playing.

Read about Google's Chrome and it sounds pretty neat. More back story here. I'm hoping Firefox and Chrome boost each other. Microsoft's (spit!) Internet Exploder (hock-spit!) version 8 supposedly also breaks browser tabs into processes for better resiliency. With the exception of the consulting laptop, none of my computers run software from the oppressive monopoly. I'm really looking forward to Chrome and hope it will integrate well with Ubiquity, Twitter, Delicious and of course Google apps.

Chrome is definitely snappy.
