Google OS

The Google OS leaked today is allegedly to be based on Google Chrome.

The Problems...

What about existing programs? If GOS is based on a browser what happens to the programs that we depend on? OK fine. I understand also that you are gearing your OS toward netbooks and the usability of a 120 Gigabyte harddrive these days is tough but I do depend on some of the programs on Windows and Linux(ubuntu). Am I going to have to constantly reboot to an OS that I can do useful things on and then when I'm ready for limited functionality I can switch back to GOS?

The Cools...

I always thought that Google would come out with an OS and I believe that starting with Netbooks is a brilliant plan. One thing that I'm excited for is the ability to write applications for an operating system. Pretty pumped.

The Dissappointing...

I was real dissappointed when I heard that they were basing their OS off of Chrome. A Linux base for Google OS would've been real cool not to mention bring more people to the Linux side. Just when Ubuntu was gaining more popularity Google swoops in. Better luck next release....

Stressed? Turn to Gratuitous Blogging!

Being an ultimate captain is amazing. I get to guide freshman as they take their first steps into this wonderful sport and watch them get better and start to love the sport. It's an awesome feeling to see them improve and excel.

I've never been the leader of just about anything and I think that I'm not doing a bad job. I'm trying to be stern but at the same time I'm also trying to teach as much as I can. Having Ryan as my co-captain is awesome. He's always there for me on and off the field. He's also a great teacher to the newbies, I really don't know what I would do without him.

School is kicking my ass. I'm putting so much of my time into Ultimate and the new players that I've lost sight of my senior project and classes and even my future. I want to go to grad school here at Scranton so bad but I need money to go to grad school and I don't have any.

Also being a Lead Residential Consultant is a bitch. I ended up loosing my work phone god knows where. Danielle is noticing my effort which is good though.

I need to focus this week on everything. I have a senior project Specification big paper due, I have a stats test, I have homework and I have to get the team ready for the Maryland tournament this coming weekend.

Its harder this semester than I could have ever imagined...

3.2/Great Project/Successful Team/Be a good captain/Keep Cool/Figure out life/Pass stats,

Wonderful.
