    Links: Dunkin’ Donuts, new browser, politics, how to open wine without a corkscrew

    Just got a text that the Saucer now has New Belgium beer on draft.  They’ve had it in bottles for about a month now.

    This morning’s CA had an article about Dunkin’ Donuts move into Memphis, and into Downtown. Says they still plan to grab the 2800 SF ground floor location at the corner of Union and Main (Radio Center Flats) to use as their flagship location for Memphis. Says the new store should be open this year, which is earlier than I had previously heard (January 2009). The article also said that the store will sell breakfast and lunch sandwiches as well as donuts.

    Google plans to release its own Web browser, called Chrome, this week. More info available on Google’s blog. Did the world really need another web browser? If people realize how much IE sucks, they can already download and install Firefox. And now web programmers have one more browser to test for compatibility with their sites… groan. I’ve been dealing with CSS and its stupid “clear:both” tag for a good part of the day at work.

    Political links of the day: A Times Online writer from London offers her opinion on why America needs a post-Bush makeover, how we can restore some of the stature and respect our nation has lost around the world in the past 8 years. Also, Time has a good article on Sarah Palin and her rise to power in Alaska.

    And finally, if you ever need to open a bottle of wine but can’t find your corkscrew, Dr. Booze has an article on using common household tools to open a wine bottle.

    Off to trivia.  I’ll probably get soaked with rain walking home, but it’s worth it if the Rapscallions pick up another $50 first prize like last week.
