Google is scary

| No Comments

So I've recently been reading xkcd, the webcomic, which is good, btw, if you don't read it. Rev Layle reminded me about it yesterday. I'd seen it before, but like with so many other things on the web, I forgot about it. I was reading back through the archives, and saw this one. Which led me to go..eh what?

So I googled* "jimmy carter attacked by rabbit" and I got this, as the very first response. That is scary weird. Random phrase leads right to what I was looking for. William Gibson says one day we will all have a link to google in our brains and we won't have to remember anything. I can only hope that it will improve my spelling.

*how big to you have to be before your website name becomes a verb?

Reading

I just finshed Codelia's Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold which is the first book of the Vorkosigan Saga.
Very good book, but the Sci-Fi bits are really secondary to the story.

Right now I'm reading The Lost Fleet Series by John Hemry/Jack Campbell It's sorta Honor Harrington but not really, though Honor Harrington even goes downhill in the later novels.
