Google’s new browser is launching today, and, between a Monday deadline and the Lone Star Ruby Conference, I’m too busy to pay much attention.
bah.
I will say:
- Yay for browser competition!
- Yay for a new, smart-looking browser!
- Yay for testing your browsers on a million sites that people already go to!
- Yay for hiring Scott McCloud to do some of your marketing!
- Yay for using the medium of comics to explain difficult concepts simply!
Maybe six years ago, I wrote a document explaining why Macromedia should use the language of comics to talk to designers and developers — it itself was a comic, although not as pretty as McCloud’s. (Ultimately, the powers-that-be were scared that comics would make them look silly.) I’ll try to upload it next week.
Google. Still smart. Still managing the fear.
