If I Won the Google Fridge


A fellow named Dan Perry (no relation to Dave that I know of ) is having a contest to give away a very cool Goggle mini-fridge. He wants us to tell him how we'd utilize it if we won. Well, my current project, Villa Lagoon ( http://www.ConcreteCottage.com ), would not be possible were it not for Google.

And, everyone can imagine how wonderful it would be to have a small fridge for cold beer or sweet tea in a guest room, so that is where I would use this awesome appliance since it is only because of Google that my guests will have a place to stay.

I love having out of town company, and since I live at the beach, everyone loves to come down here. The contest's creator, Dan Perry, is of course invited to come for some Gulf Coast deep sea fishing, beach time and checking out historic Fort Morgan and Bon Secour Wildlife Reserve if I win.

Not everyone appreciates Google paraphernalia as much as I do, but I gotta say, Google has definitely had a huge impact on my life and for that, I am eternally grateful.

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?
