Great Google Doodle today

Google's Doodle today is an animation in honour of Maurice Sendak's 85th birthday. If you hit the Play button above the picture of Max from Where the Wild Things Are it plays a revolving animation of scenes and characters from Sendak's books ending with them all having a birthday party for their creator. Say what you will about Google as a company, but the Doodles are a wonderful touch.

What Does Google "Know" About You?

I found this link interesting: www.google.com/ads/preferences.

 

Basically, if you have an account with Google, they collect information on you as you surf the internet and then use that info to target advertising towards you.

 

According to Google, I am an 18-24 year old male. Last time I checked, neither of those was true - although the age one is very flattering at least! LOL!

Streetview Canada

Streetview is now available on Google earth and Google maps for some Canadian cities.  So far today I've been all over the place in Halifax-Dartmouth.  One of my coworker's kids left the door open at his house on the day the google car drove by.  I checked out my old neighborhoods in Toronto and Ottawa and took a little tour around Calgary.  I found it easier to navigate in Google maps than on Google earth.  Just grap the little yellow guy (if he is grey there is no streetview where you are) above the zoom bar on the left and plunk him down on the street where you w

Tourettes Typing

or "Funny Google Searches"

 

I have naturally heavy fingers-equivalents. Or naturally slippery ones. They dance over the keyboard (in a kind of shuffle-foxtrot-salsa) and every so often jump into the cracks. Slipping against another key.

 

It is a conspiracy I tell you.

 

I also like google. It has become my search engine of choice. It used to be hotbot, but we'll not talk aboot that anymore. It was a doomed romance.
