Can you see the kitty in this picture? I’ll probably crop it someday, but oh would a zoom lens have come in handy on the Animal Kingdom Safari yesterday.
Today will see us at Hollywood Studios. Will it also see us at Epcot? Who knows. If it does, there will be 1000000000 pictures of the giant golf-ball-looking-thing in the near future.
I redefined the word nerd. We went on the safari ride thing at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. I had my digital camera and my dad’s film camera and I alternated between the two like a dweeb. One animal on film, the next on digital, wash, rinse, repeat.
Neither camera had a zoom lens. All of the pics are going to need serious cropping. Also, the ride was bumpy so guaranteed none of the film shots will come out at all.
WHEEEEE!!!
We went to the Virginia Safari Park a couple of days ago. Think of it as a drive through petting zoo.
I fed llamas. Have you ever fed a llama? I didn’t think so. I win.
Llama are intelligent animals. This dude’s mission was to block the road so we couldn’t drive off without feeding all of his buddies.
Llama are also skilled at swarm attacks.
Have you ever been close enough to a bison that you could grab his horn? Yeah, I have. Guess I win again. Although you will notice that my window is rolled up and all of me is safely within the car where the huge bison can’t get me.
Are these guys black with white stripes or white with black stripes?
What was the name of the old 80’s video game where the character rode an ostrich? Was it Joust?
A little lunch time Googling told me that I was right in my assumption that you cannot change the default browser on an iOS device. It is possible if you jail break your device, but I have no interest in doing that.
I guess I will just have to copy links out of emails and other apps. Not too big a deal, but I do want to use Chrome instead of Safari for now. I really don’t know why.
I was a die hard Firefox user until I got my iMac. For some reason when I set up the new computer I installed Chrome right away. I don’t think I installed Firefox at all. I actually use both at work as I have my own Google account and we use Gmail for work and I prefer to keep them separate. I want both accounts open so I use two browsers. Chrome for work, Firefox for personal.
Since getting the iMac I had rarely used my MacBook Pro. During the February music goofiness I used it quite a bit and without really thinking about it I was using Chrome for all of my browsing. Given that I kept all of the song arrangements and lyrics on a Google Document, and that every single idea I had got uploaded to the ‘net somewhere, I did a lot of browsing during the music making.
I guess Chrome just quietly won me over. I don’t think the browsing experience is any better or worse in iOS, at least as far as rendering the pages is concerned. I do prefer the tabbed functions in Chrome to the multi-page functions in Safari. Maybe I’m just a nerd.
Yeah, I’m probably just a nerd.
Let’s file this post as a note to myself. I have something I want to investigate, but I don’t have time right now.
Question: Can you change the default browser on an iOS device? On my iPhone and iPad I have buried the Safari app in a folder somewhere and replaced it on the static menu at the bottom of the screen (does that have a name?) with Chrome. The only issue I have is that links clicked in emails still open in Safari. I am curious if there is a way to make Chrome the default browser. I am 99.9% sure it is not possible, but I want to look around some before starting a massive internet campaign to get the option added to the next iOS release. (that’s sarcasm, kids. keep your eyes open or you might miss it)
