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
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?
