Google, facebook, and help?

Today I was directed to by my brother to download chromium. This really early version of google's operating system is sweet. Once I figured out how to run it (off a flash drive, pretty cool, didn't know you could) the login screen was up in about 10 seconds. Fast. Then the browser-like window appeared, I figured out how to connect, and I was surfing. Yes, it ran incredibly slow. There is everything to be considered though- like the fact that it is running off of a flash drive. The concept is awesome. Booting and being able to hop on to the cloud in seconds is amazing. I thought about it, and outside of my iPod/media, everything I do is online. Google's apps make every day to day thing I do really easy. So the idea of putting a running system essentially in the cloud is really cool and smart. I'm really excited for the real thing. If you are unfamiliar with all of this chrome/google stuff- at least watch this.


Just a quickie on facebook and recent thoughts-
I'm on it all the time now. I made it my homepage, it is my most frequently used iPod apps. And I don't quite know what to think, is it bad to do this, if I at least still TALK to people outside of my screen? Is it bad to be connected all the time? Let me know what you think.

Help:
With the chrome on a stick, I learned you can run OSes from usb. Or I at least figured out how to. (I think I tried and failed before) So I am going to try to run XP off of my WD passport. I need to find the actually running system, and figure out how to get it to the hard drive, and make it runnable. I want to so I can re-plug in my old internal hard drive to find a few things then wipe it, and make it usable again. I know most people who read this will have no idea, but you know, thought I'd ask?

-I'm also getting really excited about tablets, especially Google and Verizon's supposed one. Think - all of the coolness of Google's amazing new OS in the making, put in to a tablet, running on Verizon. It couldn't get much better.

Let me know what you think- you can check the contact info on the right.

P.S.
I'm really enjoying this end of the day with a decent storm. Could have been a little louder/brighter.

New post, possible revive to this page

So I thought today that maybe people actually might be interested in all of the things (majority tech) that I think about. So I thought maybe I would start this up again. It should be very connected to my twitter, (), so follow me if you don't. Anyway, I'm thinking I am going to start posting tech things that I think about so it can sink with other people, and maybe get feedback. For now, is there anything people (who read this) want to read about? Let me know, email, tweet, FB, comment. We are living through a revolution here people, lets enjoy it.
