Rotation... Spore... and Chrome?

Started my rotation today. Went in at about 9am, saw some research talks, got oriented in the lab and actually started my project for about 15 minutes before I had to go to class. I guess we'll see if I know what I'm doing starting tomorrow after class. The lab I'm in offered me a laptop to use while I was there (they game me a choice of a Mac or a PC) and when I said I'd like the use the PC one because I was more familiar with it, the professor said something like, "Aww man, that's the only computer I can play Spore on!" I have to say that pretty much made my day.

Finally, I'm using a new browser! Google is coming out with a browser called Chrome that seems to be really cool. It's simple but quick and it's basically everything that Google's been doing right in its other stuff, so it looks like it should turn out well. There's a comic explaining how it works that's linked to on the download page. It's a bit long, but it tells about all of the cool little things as well as a lot of the "how it works" stuff that can be interesting to the right people.
