at the moment » web winners http://at-the-moment.net a mostly random (sometimes informative) documentation of life Sun, 28 Feb 2010 17:39:31 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 chrome for mac http://at-the-moment.net/2009/12/14/chrome-for-mac/ http://at-the-moment.net/2009/12/14/chrome-for-mac/#comments Mon, 14 Dec 2009 06:09:19 +0000 marissa http://at-the-moment.net/2009/12/14/chrome-for-mac/ I just quickly wanted to jot down my thoughts about Google Chrome for Mac. So far, it is pretty good. I have found it to be just a tad bit quicker then Safari and Firefox. But I think what I like most, when it comes down to it, is the fact that it is so simple. I really want to try the incognito browsing feature; it might come in handy at work. Not that anyone would browse personal sites at work or anything . . . I don’t know if I will use it for everything yet, but I do know I kinda like it.

Anyway, I say, if you have a mac, give Chrome a shot. Even if you have a PC (which we can discuss later) give it a whirl.

Posts are short, but sweet and offer a look at life in terms of places to go, new products, and crafts. It’s a good blog to read at work when you have a second, just to see what she has found/made/seen. (Not that I am condoning that or anything!)

It’s called, web winners and it is any site that I think deserves an A+, something I find useful, helpful, amuzing, entertaining, ect. So here it goes . . .

The first site of the new web winner category is, Chief Happiness Officer (CHO). Companies have CEOs, COOs, and CFOs, why not CHOs?

Since I started working after graduation I have read this website. I think the concept is interesting – how to make people concerned with being happy and making employees happy at work. As a manager, it has helped me make my team stronger with the simple tips and stories. Every Monday, Alexander Kjerulf the site’s author posts simple things you can do to be happier at work. Take a look, make your job happier!

Check out one of my first pages.  We’ll see what else comes of this!

Here is Jill’s Notebook. Jill is awesome. She always has a great perspective on life. I enjoy the quotes she puts in from time to time. I also enjoy her library and her notes on happiness. ]]> http://at-the-moment.net/2006/02/20/overdue-site-of-the-week/feed/ 2
