Like many people, I downloaded Google's new browser and like it.  However, as its in "Beta", I'll point out the things I would like fixed:

 

1. Show the complete URL when I mouseover a link.  As a developer, I would like to see all the variables passed in the url string.
2. When I click on a Word or Excel document as a link, Chrome prompts me to save the file.  I would like to simply open up the corresponding program and view the file.  This is a big miss in my opinion.  I cannot figure out how to associate mime types to a file extension
3. Allow 3rd party plugins.  No brainer
4. If I click on the "X" button to close the browser, and I have multiple tabs opened, prompt me with an alert box.  I seem to make this careless mistake often for some reason, and Firefox gives me the option in the settings area to alert me when closing multiple tabs at once.

Just my short list for the moment.

This movie sucked.  Terrible.  It could have been good, but they didn't even try.  Its awful.  I can't decide if it was the writing or whoever cut it, but it doesn't even try to build suspense or anything.

I try to find good in everything, so they did spend something on the special effects.

1 out of 5 stars.

Competed in this yesterday.  Very professional event, and well organized.  I was wanting to break 3 hours and came through with a 2:40.  I need to become faster in the run, as I got my butt handed to me.  I rocked the bike, and at one point was flying along ala David Millar speed of 30mph on flat ground.  I probably averaged 25mph when it was flat, which felt really nice.  However that bike doesn't like climbing very much, and the first 5 miles are hills.

I did see Amy Strahan and she was in phenomenal shape as always.  She rocked to a very good 3rd place.  Nice job Amy.

I can say with pretty much confidence that this is the hardest triathlon in the St. Louis area.  The run is so hilly its sick.  Everyone should do it at least once.

David Millar was on this last night so I watched it.  Normally I think Bryant Gumbel is a pretty decent host, but he took a very cheap shot at Lance Armstrong at the very end of the piece, hinting that Lance has always doped or something.

Bryant - do your homework.

It seems if I ride my bike these days I will get rained on.  Today's thunderstorm was too much for me.  Having said that I would like to thank to good people of Vally Park for the use of their pavilion.

Last weekend was my first open water triathlon, and it was an interesting experience.  Swimming in open water is NOT EASY.   First of all, you can't see anything, so that is fun.  Second, a mass start consists of a ton of skinny people running into the water who then proceed to kick and hit each other while trying to swim around a designated course.

The wetsuit is a bit constricting in my opinion, and I find myself learning to swim all over again, but with less air.

So..... hit and kicked, while breathing through a straw.  Whats not to like?

I had a bit of a rough day today.  I know the problem, but don't feel like shouting it out here.  I need a change I think.

Since the weather was bad today, I went to the pool.  Usualy I don't swim long on the weekends, but today I did 1.25 miles in about 40 minutes.

The 1/2 ironman is 5 weeks away, and I'm starting to feel pretty good, although the bike is still going to be the toughest part I think.

I saw that Klages took a very impressive 5th at Tilles.  I remember he took 5th there when we both raced as 4s.  Then he very quickly moved up.

Nice job.

Great movie.  Daniel Day Lewis is pretty amazing.  The movie is laid out really well.  I have to say I see a little bit of myself in Daniel Day Lewis's character, which scares me a bit.  The director, Paul Thomas Anderson, is awesome, and I like all of his prior movies.

This movie gets a very rare 5 out of 5 stars.  I'll probably buy it.

Last weekend I scouted the bike and run course.  The bike course is hillier than expected.  Its going to surprise a lot of people I think.  The wind is severe, as there is not much to disipate it across the farmlands.  I was thinking I could do the bike portion (56 miles) in 3 hours, but the wind is pretty hairy.

Now, in case anyone says 56 miles in 3 hours?  Easy!  The race isn't over at that point.  There's a little half marathon waiting for you. You have to "pace" yourself. Its fun to blow past people on a bike, but not fun to die on the run.

All being said, the season has officially started for me, and I'm racing the next 7 weekends.  All duathlons or triathlons.

Had a good run.  Probably ran too slow as I had a lot of energy left at the end and ran the final mile in 7:30.  15,000 runners.  It was a blast.  I think I'll be doing it again next year.  I wish I didn't have to get up at 4:30am though.

4.75 out of 5 stars.

I have to say that the 2008 Milan San Remo bike race was the best I've seen in a long, long time.  Very exciting to watch, and Slipstream is my favorite team by far.

I went to Steamboat Springs, Colorado with Logan over the weekend.  I snowboarded all day Friday and Saturday, and now have a funny looking sunburn on my face.  Everything outside of my goggles is red, but from my goggle line above is pale white.  Whoops!

Frank Perry is a lifer; in prison for the rest of his natural born days. He’s never had a problem with that: he did the crime; he’ll do the time. Until now. He receives a letter telling him that his only and much loved daughter is critically ill following an overdose. He knows that he must see her and to do that he’ll have to escape. But he can’t do it alone. A motley crew of younger associates are assembled to enact his plan: Lenny Drake, Brodie and Viv Baptista. As they prepare to break out Frank’s focus is distracted by the arrival of a young con James Lacey – a reminder of days long lost. As the new kid on the block Lacey also attracts the sadistic attention of Tony, the drug-addict brother of wing-king Rizza. Personality conflicts puts the escape in jeopardy and Frank is forced to find the energy and courage of the man he one was.

I really liked this movie.  Denzel Washington is a great actor, along with Russell Crowe.  I like gangster movies anyways.  Since its a true story, all the better.  I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.

This has Will Farrell in it, and he's one of my favorite actors.  I have to say, this movie is not funny at all.  There may be like 2 minutes worth of funny material here.  Most of it is garbage, and is not delivered well in the movie at all.  What I mean is, that it could have been funny, but the movie didn't capture it.

Seriously, I give this 1.5 out of 5 stars.

I totally find this hard to believe, but I have Stage 1 hypertension, which is high blood pressure.  How did this happen?  And I would hate to think what it would be if I hadn't been training like a mad man for the last ten years.

Went to this pub down in Chesterfield Valley with Laura.  It was good, although we made the mistake of sitting at the bar, and my eyes have had their yearly quota of smoke.

I had the Chipotle Chicken Wrap, and must say it was delicious.

Pretty good movie.  Cool special effects.  Hayden Christiansen did a fairly good job of acting.  They'll probably be a sequel at some point.

3.75 out of 5 because I was entertained.

I'm probably doing this.  I hope others will take the challenge and join me.  I had a cancer scare about two months ago, and it has left an indelible mark on me.

I had my previous digital camera stolen (which was 4 years old), so I bought a Canon Rebel XTi.  Its a digital SLR, and i'm pretty psyched about it.  I really have no idea what I'm doing, but I hope it helps me capture some pretty good photos.

Saw this one today with Mary Ann.  Great flick.  Its the kind of movie that didn't cost anything to make, but does a great job at tackling a tough subject.  I'm going to give it a 9.5 out of 10.  I would definitely buy the DVD, but its not the kind of movie I could watch 30 times or anything.

I'm at the gym in the pool.  I hang my towel up.  I watch him take my towel and walk away.  His was next to mine, but obviously different.  I figured he made a mistake and would bring it back in a second, but it didn't happen.  What's up with that?
