Leo Kottke - Rings

June 29, 2007


The missus & I danced to this song at our wedding (not as our first dance, but during the reception) - nearly 7 years ago now. Song still makes me smile, it’s great to see a live version.

Crazy new google feature

June 29, 2007

So, look up any local service on Google Maps, which for me has replaced the yellow pages, and there’s a new link in small letters that just says “call”.  When you click the call link, it asks for your phone number, then it calls the service & you simultaneously, so that you don’t get charged for the call and so that you don’t have to dial.  I don’t get the business strategy at all, but I kinda feel that way about 80% of Google’s products.  Gmail, Maps, Search & Advertising all make sense, but every other one, and there are like 50 or more, seem just kooky.
