Great snow storm of 2009

OK, so the big snow storm of 2009 has come and gone, and I don't feel any different. Sure the snow was 18 inches high and I had fun playing with my snow blower, but from the way the news was pushing this thing, you would think it was something out of the "Day After Tomorrow". Which was not as bad a movie as people say it was.

So if you are keeping score, like I am, then it is Michael 1 - Mother Nature 0. Bring on Round 2.

In other news, Debbie and I are having Christmas Day at our house year. It will be our last before little Mikey is born. Which for those keeping track should be around February 7, 2010.

Before I forget, let me thank Mike and Jen Malpass for a wonderful evening of food and frivolities. Debbie and I had a great time. Hopefully we can do it again, after Mikey is born.

Official Google Blog: Google Chrome for the holidays: Mac, Linux and extensions in beta

Official Google Blog: Google Chrome for the holidays: Mac, Linux and extensions in beta

Finally Chrome is customizable. I was a big fan of Firefox for just that reason, but ever since I have been using Chrome the only time I go back to FF is when I accidentally click the icon. I love how non-intrusive the extensions are. The Gmail notifier, Blog This! and GMail This are my favorites so far. Hopefully the selections become as vast as FF. Now if only Google allowed you to remove that stupid on behalf of message from Gmail, without having to reconfigure my mail server, then I would be in geek heaven.
