Google Chrome does their best Michel Gondry impression and it’s a good one.

i like how they use an apple laptop even though its not yet available, besides betas or builds. chrome is amazing, though. a was happy to use a dell laptop at work because i could install chrome.

edit: i just realized theres a good beta for mac - but for intel only! damn me and my ppc!

I’m incredibly curious and want to try, but…

I have trouble forgetting the old days with “google toolbar” and how I eventually found out that Google was tracking what sites I was visiting. They still up to this?

The interview that changed my life.

The interview that changed my life.:

lauriebreaker:

thechildrenofactors:

I got really into the band Thrice during my freshman year in college, right after their album The Illusion of Safety came out. At the time that record was honestly the hardest music I’d ever really listened to and enjoyed. In hindsight that seems completely absurd, but it’s true. I am a product of pop-punk. I once owned a Homegrown t-shit. I wore it a lot.

Proudly.

And I’m still proud that I did.

But that’s beside the point. The point is, when I was 19 I became a fan of Thrice and began reading regularly the tour journal they kept online. One day, either in conjunction with their signing with a major label or shortly thereafter in response to the boatload of shit they got for said action, they posted a link to an interview with the author Dave Eggers. The interview was in email form, to be printed in The Harvard Advocate, and was, I assume, conducted by some arrogant and annoying, totally immature and naive but too-full-of-self-to-realize-just-how-little-you-really-know college student. Basically, I could really, really relate with the interviewer. And this kid, (the interviewer) asks Dave Eggers (the brilliant author whose books I completely devoured shortly after finishing this interview) about what he has done, in light of his new-found fame, to keep shit real. Mr. Eggers answers the questions and then goes off on a pretty long rant about selling out. And that rant changed my life. I remember getting about halfway through it and having this feeling like, “Holy shit, I’m totally wrong about everything.” It hit me and just kinda sank into my chest, settling in my stomach as a weird combination of embarrassment at my stupidity, admiration for someone else’s brilliance, and firm resolve to never be such a dumbass again.

I’ve spent the last 9 years of my life trying my best to be less of a dumbass.

I hope it has worked.

Read the interview here. The real substance is a little over halfway down where it says “Now, the addendum.”

Enjoy.
