Why I am migrating to Google Chrome

A picture says a thousand words.  This is with just one tab open.  Chrome definitely has some annoyances, but my machine is a little older (1.4Ghz Centrino w/512RAM), so I'm trying to conserve all I can.

So many people I recognize, and a number of parents of classmates are in here. Wow.

Rush Limbaugh to speak for Hillsdale College

FINALLY!!!  Hillsdale College booked Rush to give a public lecture.  Though the college has by far the largest endowment per student in the state of Michigan, I'm sure he wasn't cheap.  Unfortunately, I always contended that he would be an incredible commencement speaker (he's speaking for Hillsdale's annual Churchill Dinner in DC).  Rush gives the most inspiring monologues about the greatness of the country and of the individual that I've ever heard - the stuff that graduating seniors need to hear.  I'd much rather have graduating seniors hear someone tell them to go out and conquer the world than listen to someone plugging his/her book (or worse).  How awesome of a day would it be for the air traffic controller at the Hillsdale airfield to land Rush's private jet!  Oh well, I guess you can't get everything you want.  Now that I think about it, I didn't much care for the students either when I worked there.  Those buggers slowed down the internet so much, it was unbearable!

Credit Crunch not hitting the responsible

I just bought a car, and because I didn't have all the cash up front, I did what most people did - financed it. When talking with the salesman, never once did he mention that because I am young it might be tougher to get approved or get a good rate. He simply asked if I have good credit. I told him "not sure what the score is, but I pay all my bills on time." I got approved, no problem with a very good interest rate in about a day. All this nonsense about normal people not being able to get loans seems silly to me.

Oh, it's a 2007 Monte Carlo. This gets me thinking... what happens to my warranty if GM doesn't last the year?
