Well, that ended up taking half a day or so. Who knew how many apps I had installed on that darn thing? Anyway, I&#8217;m sure glad I upgraded, cuz I can sure tell the difference! Yeah, uh-huh.<\/p>\n<p>Where was all the fanfare about the release of Google&#8217;s web browser? In fact, where were all the whispers, rumors and leaks? Somehow, I missed it all. I only happened onto it on account of reading email on my cell phone. My email includes subscriptions to a few newsletters, and one of them mentioned the Google browser. Of course, I had to immediately install it and try it out &#8211; using it now, in fact. I assume as time goes by there will be add-ons ala Firefox. I like it already, though. Seems to hold to the Google theme of clean, uncluttered simple layout. Sort of reminds me of Safari, which I recently wrote about. Since then, by the way, my usage of Safari has dwindled, I think due to lack of certain plug-ins I&#8217;ve grown to love, like &#8220;web developer&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Becky and I went to her 40-year high school reunion Saturday. At first I thought we must&#8217;ve gone to the wrong one, on account of all the OLD people there. The dee-jay obviously was playing to OLD people. He had the volume cranked up so loud I had to make ear plugs out of napkins. That wasn&#8217;t enough, though, so I went to another room (the bar, actually) and watched football on the TV. That didn&#8217;t last too long, as the bar was filled with smoke and pretty soon I could barely breathe. When Becky came to find me, she was ready to leave on account of the volume and the smoke. So, we left. But she still had a good time visiting with classmates, especially since they were all so much older than her.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s freakin&#8217; September already!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last weekend I upgraded my cell phone OS from WinMobile 6.0 to 6.1.
