Don't be evil

Since last Monday came a day early, this Monday had to be pushed back a day. I'm sure you understand.

Google
I really like Google and can highly recommend many of its services, especially its personalized homepage in conjunction with bookmarks, reader, calendar, Gmail, Page Creator, Picasa, and, of course, Blogger. All of this is free, and all of this lets you easily traverse and publish to the web from one convenient location. The company's interface design is so good that I've seen many people migrate away from dedicated email or calendar programs to Google, and I suspect the same may soon happen to Docs and Spreadsheets. Watch out Microsoft.

With all of your information in one place, you have to ask yourself, though: can you trust them? I do, but not with very sensitive information. How do you Google?


One more thing. . .
Last week the Swiss invaded Liechtenstein. Does that mean non-EU Europe will be at war soon? Probably not, Liechtenstein does not have an army, so we should be okay.
