Came upon this in the strangest place...

All of us who are concerned for peace and triumph of reason and justice must be keenly aware how small an influence reason and honest good will exert upon events in the political field.

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?
