Google rules. Microsoft drools.

I'm going to tell you now...if it's worth it...I'll be running it on my home PC.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/07/08/google.chrome.os/index.html:

• Google says it will release a computer operating system in fall or early 2010
• Google's Chrome OS could change the way personal computers work
• The system is touted as faster and more Web-friendly than Windows
• It supports cloud computing and will be available as open-source technology

I'm not going to lie. I'm excited.

Happy 4th of July

I can't say it any better than this...

Social Networking Thought

Lately I've been wondering how internet social networking is affecting actual social networking clubs. Let's take the VFW, the Fraternal Order of the Eagles, Optimists, etc. for example. Are membership levels dropping for these organizations?

I served in the Air Force, but I stay in touch with some of those I served with on Facebook. And I'm on Twitter following hundreds of local Kansas City people. And I have many family member connections on MySpace.

And with work, soccer practice, karate, school, church, yard work, hobbies and so on ad nauseum, it's hard to find time to go spend time at clubs like VFW and FOE.

Is the generation following the baby boomers just too busy and internet-connected to spend actual time with our our local peers?

Or would it be to our benefit to go "unplugged" and have a beer at the VFW? Or would I just TwitPic the whole experience?

I feel like my age-group, and the next, will be the demise of these charitble community social organizations.

What do you think?

The plan

I have worked in the information technology industry in one fashion or another since 1991. It's been a long ride and I've enjoyed our progress in technology.

I'll post about computers, tech tips, and other projects I have going on.

For now, my mission is to become an MCITP, Enterprise Admin by the end of the year. Five easy tests.

Then it's on to firefighter academy in January for my second income as a reservist.

Then I'm going back to school.

Lot's to do and the clock is ticking. Thanks for stopping by.
