Musings and Curio
Almost ten years ago, I was included in the Chrome OS pilot, one of 60,000 folks who received (for free!) the prototype CR-48 Chromebook to kick the tires and provide feedback on Google's nascent operating system. A ton has changed since then. Chrome OS has matured, growing into a fully-functional system that was ahead of... Continue Reading →
I haven't geeked out about an app since Instagram became available for Android (back in my tech hippy days). But there in my news feed, I saw it.

And for most people it would fit their needs for web surfing, social media, and... Continue Reading →
I was one of the fortunate who received a free Google CR-48 "Chromebook" several months ago, after applying to be in Google's pilot program.
