Just thought I’d throw out a link to winkflash. Sarah and I got some photos made of the wedding and used them. We were pleased with the results.

Just read the comic introducing Google Chrome, Google’s new web browser. It definitely looks very interesting, from both a user’s and developer’s perspective. Chrome is designed from the ground up to work with online web apps faster and more safely. There’s supposed to be a public beta later today, so I’m looking forward to trying […]

I found this amusing post on DealNews. It’s a great deal: Oil fell to $118 a barrel yesterday. That’s $30 off its mid-July peak and the best deal we’ve seen on oil in three months. Features include light, sweet crude.
