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.

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?

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.
