shiny!

I've seen a few people post about Google Chrome, in a generally neither over- nor underwhelmed sort of way, a "Huh, it's another web browser, isn't that special" way. So - speaking as someone who still listens to mp3s with an audio player that became obsolete about nine years ago because I fear change - I had exactly no intention of installing Google Chrome.

But, dude. It has its own introductory comic, drawn by Scott McCloud. (Scott McCloud, for those of you who shall remain nameless but whose initials are IULIA, wrote Making Comics and Understanding Comics, both of which I read in library school, and which allowed me to recognize the mind-boggling sexism inherent in the Bone graphic novels. Um, and were also cool for lots of other reasons.) I was halfway seduced just by the existence of the comic, to say nothing of its content.

(Mostly, though, reading it just reminded me that I really need to follow [livejournal.com profile] apetslife's wise advice and download me some freeware to tidy up my system.)

(And also, I need to buy a broom.)
