Sometimes when I come upon a site I have never seen before, it's like discovering an uncharted island... like I just found a map for a treasure trunk... And sometimes I feel like... how come I wasn't invited to this party? How long has this site been around and nobody bothered to tell me...

ok... enough about what I feel - here's a site I recently stumbled upon and said 'wow...' (and I don't give out wow's all that freely). It's called The Bad Cub Club and it's WordPress blog but 'wow' what a blog (I just wow'ed again). Now there's a fine line between what's a Cub and what's a Bear, however the men on this site all have that husky goodness about them, so call them Cubs or Bears or even young Daddies... whatever... just give me more of their wholesome good looks. One site to definitely bookmark ~ twice even ~ or 3 times - in IE, FireFox and Chrome.

I'm sure you've heard by now however Google has released its own browser on September 2nd called Chrome. The very thing I noticed about it was that its logo sure looks a lot like the old Simon Says game.

So I loaded it up and it sure is fast, much faster than either Internet Explorer and Firefox, and it's a minimalist's dream - it's very naked of 'stuff...' like buttons and address bars. However there are some issues, such as popups. With IE and Fox you can choose which sites to block however Chrome doesn't, so it's not really all that friendly for sites like TubeBear. Also, it also codes things a bit differently and I notice that when I'm adding news on PlanetBears. The administration pages on PlanetBears are all messed up. In any account, it's beta, and I still give it a thumbs up, and if they polish it up, it just might wind up as my 'default' browser.

BTW, I got to 12 on that 'Simon Says' game. Alzheimer runs in my family.
