Came upon this in the strangest place...

A Google Girl

I realised this morning something for which I am thankful.
I really don't know what I would do without Google, and without Firefox, for that matter. I had to download Firefox onto my Mom's computer, just so that I wouldn't stare at the screen blankly, helplessly wondering what to do without the search box, without tabbing, without iGoogle.

Google has given me:
Gmail, which has completely redefined the way I email
Calendar, which has organized my life (as much as it can be...)
Maps, which get me everywhere I need to be, tell me about what to do in areas, and allow me to stalk people whose addresses I know ;)
an automatic Blogger account!
and, my favourite to date... GOOGLE READER, which has in one way or another led me to the following awesome websites:

• FILE Magazine (specifically The Collection)
• Sam Javanrouh's photoblog
• Nick Campbell's photoblog
• Kathleen Connally's photoblog
• Helsinki Looks
• Feministing
• Photojojo
• mylalaland (specifically HELLO)
• TAKE PRIDE
• Main Street Journal
• Photo Life of Q.
• The American Prospect
  

Also, here are the websites of some of my friends. (I do this not only because I love them, but also because I think they are ridiculously talented!)

• Shital Patel
• The Sonnets of Raoul Caes
• Mariya Pantyukhina
• Sarah Albright

I will post more awesome sites up at at later date. This is all for now... homework and studying to do! (Yay, finals.)

In Other News (happenings while typing...)

• I'm watching the Sarah Palin speech from Dover, NH, and wishing it wasn't 11 AM and a school day, otherwise I'd be drunk from all the mentions of "Alaska" "maverick" and words with the "g" left off.
• I'm a girl who likes to watch ESPN while I'm doing homework - it provides just the right amount of background noise, and information at the same time! But today I'm sick of it. I don't want to hear about the damn Cowboys anymore! Jeez!
  
• Regarding above... changed the channel to CNN... oh, mistake... now where are my The West Wing DVDs?
