So like the little web geek that I am, I downloaded Google Chrome the second it was available. I haven't been playing with it too long, but I am impressed so far.

The first thing I looked at was JavaScript performance. I used this site which runs some common JavaScript tasks over and over.

The results:

Internet Explorer 8 (Beta 2)

FireFox 3

Chrome

So as you can see, Google Chrome is a lot faster than the other browsers I tested, at least as far as JavaScript performance. It's probably because there are no plug-ins or anything on top of Chrome, but it sure feels a whole lot faster. It's really smooth and doesn't have that frozen window problem that FireFox and IE both have.

So far I'm pretty excited about Chrome. I love FireFox, but Chrome implements some amazing ideas. Let's hope they catch on with the other browsers.

This is a pretty crappy video, but the show was amazing. Definitely worth flying in for.

Some pictures from the show.

This is by far the coolest thing I've seen in a long time.

It is a video made by showing commits made to the DokuWiki project over time. Useless, but awesome.

Thank God that Lost doesn't have a title sequence. Especially one like this.
