Google Chrome BETA Review
Unlike most of you I never even knew Google was working on a browser… well I thought they would but not until they maybe had their own OS like Goobuntu or something.
Anyway, this ia short review of the new browser.
First of all I just want to say how sexy it looks! I will not be switching from firefox but I sure will use the new Shortcut Application feature! This is the gold dust me for as I use most of Googles tools like Gmail and their Reader.
For people who are not sure what this is ill let you know. have you ever liked a tool online that you thought would be a cool thing to use as a program but thought “Ill have to boot up my browser and then I have all the extra userbars that take up all the space” well now you dont have to worry! Just create a shortcut and Google Crome opens the tool/webpage up like a normal windows (Your OS) application! It even gives you a cool Icon if the webpage uses a ico file.
I love it and now have Gmail, Reader, Calender, Google Docs shortcuts on my desktop which load up full screen
I love it.
It also maximises space! No longer do you have the top bar taking up wasted space. You now use that wasted space with the tabs like in Firefox. It also just has a URL bar and the bare minimum buttons needed for a good browsing experience.
It does lack plugins and sadly has now ad-blocker so if you are used to not seeing adverts with Adblock plus you will miss it here.
Fore a BETA program it really is a smack in the face to IE and FF, but it does lack a lot of features… But then again it might not be a bad thing.
Google has always been about Basic clean design. no big features that slow things down… And Chrome is super fast! It has Google Gears built in which I tested and it works great. It also loads pages in half the time Firefox 3 does… and about 1 month faster than Internet Explorer does.
Without a doubt it will be sending shivers down FireFoxes spine. If they do implement a plugin system and can fix the bugs (It is beta) then I may switch and stop using Firefox… Which I never ever thought id say!
Fingers crossed this does put a nail in Internet Explorers coffin and will one day show the people who think IR is the Internet how stupid they are.

Proof: Dads Are Equal
This is a LONG read but it is well worth it. If you cant read it all please read just part of it.
Sadly a friend of mind found out this quote a few days ago:
The research, which clearly illustrates how a father biologically responds to the birth of his children, also explains why thousands of men become clinically depressed when separated from their children to the point of actually committing suicide.
By Joel Leyden
Israel News Agency
Jerusalem —-June 3 ..
LINK….
It was not easy writing the above headline. But when Psychology Today, one of the most respected lay journals on clinical psychology releases research illustrating that fathers are empowered biologically no differently than women when it comes to nurturing children, all keywords are needed.
This evidence hits hard at social workers, family court judges and elected legislators who abide by archaic research and outdated laws which state that it is in the best interest of the child to be with the divorced mother - not the divorced father.
“Here is the first hard evidence that men are biologically prepared for fatherhood,” says Psychology Today. “In fact, this is the first evidence that to nurture is part of man’s nature.”

Black and white of personal Blogging
Introduction
This week has been so strange! I have been working out non-stop and trying to get as fit as i possibly can… But I have also been really down and upset… So i guess ill split this post into two so i can get everything out.
Please remember that this is personal blog! I have had so many people e-mailing me asking why I am not posting and why I am not running contests or posting about other things I post about now and again… Maybe this blog is a bit messed up as I personally have no idea what it is about any more.
Anyway, I shall star
White
I am now in the TOP 100K Alexa rankings
I also had some GREAT comments and some funny feedback from my last post and tricked some people really good! I loved it!
I got myself a cool bike this week! I love it and have been riding it all I can… I did a long bike ride and it nearly killed me! I could not walk up my stairs without aches and pains
I have also got myself some cool work out gear for when I cant be bothered to go out
It is nice to work out and it just makes myself feel better
i have also been working with someone is designing some T-shirts and other items for when I go to court. I love the designs and hopefully in the next week or two I will also have a new template for my blog
It is from my favourite designer Jai from www.blogohblog.com! I am using his template now (Very modified though) but wanted a personal one from him.

The last few weeks my Mum has gone to see Faith and Jack which is great for them… but for me its just a downer as I just do not know what to say when they get back
I should be happy for them and should also ask how everyone is doing… But I just find it hard to know as it just makes me see what I am missing and all the time ill never get back. Faith is meant to be really big now… jack is meant to be walking and doing other things a kid his age should be doing…. I just hope soon i get some pictures or something.
She also saw my ex and my Daughter harmony the other day. I find it really hard to hear anything about harmony as apart from some images I have no idea what she is like… I also miss my ex like crazy
It sucks because I know we never failed! We did not split or leave on bad terms… We were forced apart by the powers that be.
I have no idea what she is doing… how she is coping raising a child on her own (Maybe she not on her own? Who knows) and I just wish I had some way to find out how my daughter is doing….
I have been contacted by some producers via this blog about them following me and the stages I will go through. I have turned it down because I know how the media can lie and turn on you without you knowing… I know the producer from a meeting I had with her a while ago… She is a very nice lady but until I this is over idon’t see myself doing anything to turn more attention to myself or people I was/am linked too.
I also have not been in the mood for much blogging… I have been so busy with some side projects and friends I talk to that blogging has taken a back seat. I also have been working on the poetry book I have been working on and hope to get that out as soon as everything is over.
