Today, Apple released their excellent Safari browser for Windows. I downloaded the beta as soon as the link became available this morning and have been loving the experience! It is the fastest loading browser, I have ever used, hands down.  It’s just a beta right now but the browser is fully featured and ready to go right out of the box.

The design of the browser of course mimics the usual look of Apple products and I think it adds a nice flair to the Windows desktop.  Many Windows users will find it difficult to adjust to the new look, however, I think the transition will be a pleasant one.

This release is great news for me because over the last few months I have been hoping for an alternative to Fire Fox because of its instability and Memory Leak “features”.  As I am on the internet for an average 12+ hours a day, stability (especially on a Windows platform) is paramount to me.  My experience with Safari so far has solidified my love for many Apple products. 

You can download the public beta from BetaNews.

If you have time, post a reply detailing your thoughts or experiences with Safari (for Windows)!

There is something just great about moving into a new building; whether for living or for business, the fresh office smell is a great catalyst for action. We’ve just completed the move from our old office into our brand new, 2nd floor, posh offices. The paint is fresh, the carpet is new, and the offices have solid doors.

We’ve been waiting for this change for quite awhile and as the company expands its nice to see the company’s facilities grow to meet the level of service and professionalism that our clients expect from us after 4 years of business.

The office isn’t completely set up so there are still a few boxes scattered around the floor and we still need to arrange the new furniture but we’re already settling in to the new pace. Cameron Moll mentioned that one of the most important things you can do when starting a small business is to get into a professional office space in the first 6 months, well… it took us much longer than that time frame but it was well worth the wait.

I’ll be posting pictures of the office as we get settled here in the next couple of weeks. If you live in the area feel free to stop in and say “hi!”.

I recently got in touch with an old friend of mine Jesse Gordon. I hadn’t seen him in a few years and managed to catch him on AIM randomly the other day. During the course of the conversation he sent me a link to his new model airplane.

The airplane is made from regular foam board that you can buy at your Home Depot, however it is the features and specs of the plane that make it so amazing. With a 8 foot wingspan you’d assume that the plane would need a hefty sized engine to get it into the air but no… Jessie has attached a tiny 400watt motor to the nose of the plan and it is able to soar to an altitude of at least 1000 feet. Jessie has also attached a compass and video camera to the plane that makes for some great footage.

Be sure to check out the videos!
