Dave and Samantha had their engagement party at Gianni’s Pizza on Lighthouse in Monterey – I love their pizza. Its just soo tasty!
The party was a ton of fun: food, drinks, and a bunch of people having a good time – what more could you ask for? And in addition to THAT, Dave wet himself. You’ll see… click on the picture to jump to the set on Flickr.
Rode the 150 miles up to San Jose this morning and found out that my stock tank does about 105 miles at approximately fast speeds before having to switch to reserve. Found this out when the engine died just south of Salinas… Warren helped me with the disassembly of the bike, and its currently in pieces in his garage and back yard. Once the tank goes on it should look something similar to this, and here’s to hoping that everything goes well!
Ordering some pod filters because we had to remove the stock airbox for the tank to fit on right, and Warren has done some welding on the tank mounts in order to get it seated correctly. Once we get the pods in, we can figure out the rear bracket for mounting and then how the seat will fit to that.
Luckily for me, Warren knows what he’s doing AND has all the tools! And once the tank is fitted, the Hawk is going to get a new paint job which will spiff it out. Sweet!
The Google Chrome Beta released today, its an open source browser written by Google that has a lot of cool features, like Dynamic Tabs, Crash Control, Safe Browsing, etc. you can learn more here (streaming videos) or read the cartoon version explaining the new features.
One of the most interesting features that I see is that each tab has its own thread, so crashes, data, anything that happens is contained within that tab. Because of this, if any web application being used crashes, only that specific tab crashes, instead of the entire browser. Pretty innovative.
In addition, as far as I know the Google browser doesn’t suffer from the same issue as Internet Explorer (haven’t tried in Firefox) where with many tabs open in the browser (and the browser minimized for an extended period of time) restoring the browser to open requires a wait time for all the pages to load in the browser.
There are other features that i’ve yet had a chance to play with, but as far as I can tell, this is the most stable initial release of any Beta software that I have played with.
So far, I really like the simple, yet feature-full browser. I’ve now switched over to this as my main browser of choice.
