There were some great commercials this year, especially the Snickers/Betty White commercial.
Here are a couple of my favorites:
(in a racehorse announcers voice) Annnddd here comes Google in the stretch catching up to Apple...
Wow, I just keep getting hit with Google news this morning.
I was looking through the Google Chrome OS Labs site and found a possible product from Google called the Google Tablet.
This morning, I received an email that the Google Apps team will be phasing out IE6.
All I can say is...it's about time! IE6 has always been a sore topic with me.
Anyways, here's the email:

You may be wondering what I'm talking about when I say that. This refers to a consulting joke that I've been carrying around for a while from one of my ex-bosses. Very wise man and a good friend.

How much of your "brains" do you take into a company? This post explains how to determine what code you can and cannot take into a company if you already wrote it prior to being hired.

Last August, I bought an issue of Laptop Magazine and noticed a great article in the magazine about whether companies that promise cash for old laptops deliver? I didn't think anything of it, but I thought it was a great article. I glanced at it and added it to my pile of existing magazines that I need to "get to."

Most designers and developers use Firebug constantly in Firefox, but what some people still don't know is that there is a lite version of Firebug called Firebug Lite for IE, Opera, and Safari.
Even though it's limited, it still has the same look and feel.
If you want to know more about Firebug, check out the Fireday review of Firebug or check out the Firebug web site.

Let's flash back to when I started developing with ASP.NET MVC 2.
