The elephant in the testing room - http://www.boingboing.net/2009...

Chrome OS like lightning from a USB key: we could get used to this - http://www.engadget.com/2009...
I wish I would've seen this over the Thanksgiving break. If anyone gives this a shot before I get around to it, let me know if it's worth it. - Tyler Slack

Dell Releases Customized Version of Chrome OS - http://www.winbeta.org/comment...
Sweet! I guess I should have figured someone would give us Google's Chrome OS to install on our own NetBooks. I had no clue it would be so soon! - Tyler Slack

Large Hadron Collider ready to restart - http://www.pheedcontent.com/click...
These 30 photos of the LHC at CERN really put the project into perspective. It's freakin' HUGE!! I remember coming to that realization last year before the shut down and I'm shocked again to rediscover the size of this project yet again. - Tyler Slack

Here's what I've been waiting for. If I still had a Windows Mobile phone I'd be loading this for sure. Any of my USOE friends going to give this a go? ;) - Tyler Slack

Sweet! This is a fun, fun online audio tool to mess around with. You can even record the tracks you lay down. Be sure to throw in a splitter and merger tools and route your Tone Matrix synthesizer through various effects to change the sound. There are several presets to get you started including Electro and DrumNBass. SWEET!! - Tyler Slack

The History of the Internet in a Nutshell - http://sixrevisions.com/resourc...
It's amazing how far we've come! I remember creating a BBS account on Lower Lights, being a Netscape zealot (no browser was better), participating in the the Geocities offering (learning HTML online), and downloading music from Napster. - Tyler Slack

This is one of the books listed on the book fair order form that my daughter brought home from school. Is it just me, or is the illustration rather suggestive as compared with the title? I find it a little bit "warped and creepy". My wife pointed it out to me. ;) - Tyler Slack

More extra storage for less - http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2009...

Word Magazine: Album Covers Map - http://www.wordmagazine.co.uk/album_a...
Ever wondered where your favorite album cover photo was snapped? Next time you you're on vacation, check out this map. You might be in the neighborhood of your favorite album cover. There is only one album cover taken in Utah, which surprises me. It's a work in progress, however. Add the ones you know about! - Tyler Slack

Get your Twitter links in Reader with Readtwit - http://twitter.com/googler...
At first glance (and even upon deeper digging) I nearly dismissed this third-party Twitter service. But for some reason I kept going and subscribed the to the feeds this service creates from your Twitter timeline. The feed is sweet! It resolves the links and displays the contents right in the feed beneath the twit. I almost NEVER click on the links in a tweet because I never know how much a waste of time it will be. Now I don't have to and it's in my Google Reader where I spend a lot of time anyway. NICE! There is probably more stuff that it does that I'll be impressed with later. - Tyler Slack

Two positive customer service stories: Men’s Wearhouse & Little Things Mean a Lot - http://alt-tag.com/blog...
This "touched me" as we say in Utah. It's cliché, I know. I found this story of common goodwill and kindness to be a good reminder of how little things that we try to do might seem to go unnoticed for the most part, but they really don't go unnoticed. It is pride that sneaks in and makes us think that nobody notices. People notice. Keep it up, everyone! - Tyler Slack
