They should have called it The Webminator

This looks interesting, at least in a Google-Trying-To-Take-Over-Everything-But-Look-Nice-About-It kind of way. They even roped in comic auteur Scott McCloud to promote it.

It's probably been coming a while and I will try it to see how all the other Google bits and bobs fit into it. But I've already got Firefox and can't get rid of Internet Explorer and I downloaded Safari as well and I quite liked the look of that social web browser so do I really need another one?

Major problem? Chrome. Not a great name.

What I really need is a bigger hard drive for my PS3. Those demos fill it up super quick.

First rude word of the blog

So it's been a week or two since the broadband arrived and I have to say, it's very nice. Chugging along with dial up for the past few weeks has been a nightmare. But my problem is this: my broadband is supplied by BT/Yahoo and my problem is with that Yahoo bit as I've never been a big fan of Yahoo. They've always seemed a bit corporate, a bit spammy, not to be encouraged. And just to make it worse, my free webspace appears to be done through GeoCities or, as I always seem to remember it being called, GeoShities.

I do prefer the whole vibe Google gives off despite all the privacy issues and so forth.

Sorry, not an interesting post but I can't post gold everytime.

World Domination = Good Times

Now this looks fun. Like a version of Risk using Google Maps. Risk is one of those games I've always wanted to play but never got round to, despite owning the Lord of The Rings version for at least two years now.

Damn, I love Risk.
