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.
