Isaiah's Tech

Last night, I briefly talked about Chrome Experiments from Google and now that I've actually had the time to go on the site and try it out, I have quite a bit to say. It's a great time-sink. Even my girlfriend thought some of the "experiments" were great. She particularly loved the ones called "Browser Talk" and "DOMTRIS." I, on the other hand, loved "Ball Pool" (pictured), "Browser Ball" and "BallDroppings." Clearly, I love balls (no pun intended). I've tried out most of the experiments on the site and they run really smooth, but I've only tried them on Chrome and haven't tried them on any other browser. It's really interesting how much the V8 engine in Google Chrome can handle. Oh yeah, I guess I should also mentioned that I failed the 25-piece puzzle in the experiment called "Video & Picture Puzzle."

Google has launched a new site called Chrome Experiments that shows off "new and fun uses" for JavaScript. Their browser, Google Chrome, has one of the fastest JavaScript engines out there, called V8. "The results of their experimentation have been great, with each project turning the browser window into an interactive application, a game, or even a piece of art. Whether you're a casual web surfer or an advanced JavaScript developer, we think you'll appreciate what they've achieved." This is simply amazing stuff. There is a short compilation of what they've accomplished so far, in a short video below. So far, this is only a preview of what can be done. Google is, again, taking it to the next level with functionality. Their extensions will definitely be top-notch.
