I asked this question on facebook this afternoon: ‘gold star’ or ‘all the tea’?
In some further detail the above are band name ideas.
All the Tea is Jaysen’s contribution and is short for “all the tea in China“. It has a nice sound to it and a pretty good Family Guy quote:
“Hello, China? I have something you may want. But it’s gonna cost you. That’s right. All the tea.”
- Peter Griffin, Family Guy Season 2, Episode 8 I Am Peter, Hear Me Roar
Gold Star is my idea and it comes complete with logo and ready made materials such as those little gold sticker packs — anyone remember getting a gold star for doing their homework? Of course I also recall an episode of Webster where he got gold stars for every night he didn’t wet his bed. Might not want to mention that one too much at shows…
If Yen would allow it, I’d totally go for “Spy Rock”. We should ask him.

I get that this it’s mostly for fun at this point but I can still appreciate the good folks over at Codeweavers releasing a port of Google Chromium for the rest of us to enjoy.

Not to get all religious on my essentially non-existstant audience, but I sometimes find myself asking the Good Lord to point me where I belong. In the past I’ve then seen some sign or signs that help me decide what my choice will be.
This time around I thought I’d had two clear signs stacked on each other only to have one flip on me.
The question is: does a band getting its act together outweigh a dept coming apart at the seems?

Just for fun I’ve started checking out Google Chrome from their dev site. I’m not up on what the latest build size is for the WebKit nightlies but 254MB and climbing seems large to me. Again, not really my field so I’m just guessing. Also why is cygwin in there? You know what. Screw it. Nice work Google. My favorite quote reading down a bit on the page is:
Currently, the Mac group is focusing on the testing harness, TestShell. The browser UI layer is not yet being worked on. We plan to start after getting the harness fully operational and better understand how to adapt Chromium’s architectural requirements to Mac OS X.
I suppose I know a little how the khtml folks felt about Safari back in the day. Hopefully Google’s use of WebKit will eventually turn around the same way Apple’s use of khtml is looking to turn around now. In the meantime I have to say that Google is not really challenging Microsoft by making a browser that’s glued to Windows.
