This octopus is brilliant, awesome, and totally hip.  The voice-giving diver is equally as cool 🙂

New Invention: Wet Suits to Ward off Sharks!

20 May

Hamish Jolly, a swimmer, has invented a set of two wet suits for swimmers and surfers that are supposed to deter shark attacks.  The one for swimmers camouflages you in the water, while the other one mimics the coloring of one of the sharks enemy predators.   If this actually worked, I might be more willing to travel island-side!  You can find out more here.

Cool Google Chrome Change

Great news for Laurence the Laptop!

He might actually survive his stint as the lifeline for a professional writer/researcher/teacher. 😛

If you are anything like me, you threaten the poor darling’s life at least three times on any given day thanks to random unidentifiable voices streaming from the speakers.  I mean seriously, how can 4 ads be running just slighting off so that they scream over each other and I be unable to locate even one to shut the stupid thing off?  It drives me nuts!  I usually just throw a temper tantrum, shut down all the tab, lose all of my research, and let Laurence have it for being such a stupid nitwit.  

Fortunately, Google Chrome has come through finally!  At long last they have added a way for you to tell which tabs have sounds playing.  Check out the new little volume symbol on your tab at the top of the browser.

 If you see it, then that means that something is playing sounds on that tab.  The same is true regardless of whether it’s music, videos, random beeping noises, or advertisements–if it has some noise going on the symbol shows up.

All the other browsers should adopt this change; it’s a keeper.
