I have been using Chrome over Firefox for about a year now simply because it is faster. But, evidently my opinion isn’t good enough for Google. They had to do some ‘real’ tests to prove that Chrome is faster. Hence the video below;

Bob Ross
My sister, Jeanie Hoppal, is one heck of an artist. One of her many talents is painting. She even teaches the Bob Ross style of painting. You might know of Bob Ross via his long time running show on PBS, you know, he was that curly headed dude that was always saying “and now let’s make a happy tree…” Unfortunately, Bob passed on before the home computer really caught on. But if he were still alive, I wouldn’t be surprised if he ‘painted’ using the PC and using GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program). GIMP is free, and so are the many tutorials.
I might have to try to emulate the results in the above tutorial. But I do not expect similar results for unlike my sister, I have no talent.
