Google Gift Came !

This is an experiment--I am going to try the 'Publish from an Email' technique. It is suppose to work and could come in handy some time, like if I am ever taken prisoner and allowed only one email---it would be a shame to email someone who's overly aggressive spam filter grabbed my note and tossed it into the abyss that exists for 'size does matter'  messages. If I used my one and only email to send to the blog, then all 4 of my friends would surely see it and come to my rescue, or bail me out. So lets just see if this works.

Heather, my web helper in G. S. emailed that my Google Xmas gift arrived today !!!! Yipeeeeee---I am still on their list of most wonderous persons.

Now I have asked her to open it and let me know if my USB  flash storage has 64 or 128 MB and if I get headphones or not !! There are two versions of the gift and i wonder if I am on the 'A" list or the 'B' list. Either way, I am very honored. At this rate, by the time I die, I will have all manner of Google branded techie brick-a-brack in my life and y'all can just make a little shrine at my funeral with candles & incense in front of the Google 'Portal' as they  would call it in Costa Rica....just to add an exotic touch & make it a Googlite funeral....then pass out the Google keychains and flashing-light hurricane glasses (from last June web conference), etc.. to the funeral attendees as favors. Better yet--make hurricanes (the drink, not the wind) and everyone have one.  Don't guess I'll need all this stuff in Google heaven.

Update: Heather replied,she opened it.....

suspense...

 I am on the "A" list...I got the 128 MB & headphomes version of the gift.
How kind of them and how wise they are to recognize QUALITY ;o)

Congratulations! I know what a big honor this is. Being on the A list must feel good.

I'm a little worried about your planning your google-themed funeral. I plan to do one of those videotapes where you tell everyone what you REALLY think of them - like "Aunt Virginia, you really should get help for your OCD - there's good medicine available", and "Mother, since you've smoked for 50+ years and I've never smoked in my life, it should be you here instead of me!". And maybe tell my sisters their hair is looking a little brassy and i'm glad i died with a smaller ass than either of them.

well, i digress. must go. hope no one identifies the source of this anonymous commenter!

Color Change Paint Job

Image
I spotted another car with one of those awesome paint jobs that change colors are you drive past. I used to see one with a different set of hues parked in from of a local vinyl liner pool company here in Gulf Shores. This is what I'd like on my VW Thing, but I want coral and peach shades so it look like a woman's fingernail polish rack at the nail salon. Anyone know anything about this type of paint job ? What is it called ? What's it cost. Where do you go to get it ?

Class distinctions and social networking sites

Interesting read: An excerpt: A month ago, the military banned MySpace but not Facebook. This was a very interesting move because the division in the military reflects the division in high schools. Soldiers are on MySpace; officers are on Facebook. Facebook is extremely popular in the military, but it's not the SNS of choice for 18-year old soldiers, a group that is primarily from poorer, less educated communities. They are using MySpace. The officers, many of whom have already received college training, are using Facebook. The military ban appears to replicate the class divisions that exist throughout the military. I can't help but wonder if the reason for this goes beyond the purported concerns that those in the military are leaking information or spending too much time online or soaking up too much bandwidth with their MySpace usage.

Is It Just ME?

Two odd phrases keep popping up in print that just seem weird to me. Here is one: "I am absolutely appalled that another computer containing the personal information of veterans has gone missing ," said Sen. Rick Santorum, a Pennsylvania Republican. Why not say "is missing" ? Doesn't "has gone" imply some action on the part of the computer? And our local newspaper recently had headlines that said: "City looks to buy land on Ft. Morgan Road" Is "looks to buy" an accepted English phrase for "considers" or similar? Maybe it is, but both of those phrases sound rather like Granny Clampett to me. Your opinion?
