Just for a laugh….

One of my settings had disappered from Google – and in trying to reset it I found something really quite cool. Google has language settings for people all over the world as you would expect. And it would appear languages for those who are not quite of this world…

This is Google in Klingon, ‘Hacker’, Swedish Chef – Bork Bork Bork, or even Elmer Fudd!
On the home page select preferences and just select your languge from the drop down box.

Google just became so much more cool in my book.

There is something about music. Its got something that I think speaks to us all in different ways. I go through phases of listening to lots of music then listening to none (although the iPod has made those phases occur more often). I quite often just listen to music on shuffle andI find it amazing the different things I think about and the things I remember as I listen. Some songs take me back to my childhood, some draw my thoughts to the future, and some help ground me firmly in the present. I think music is intrinsically linked to our memories, our hopes and our dreams.

After all what are we without hopes, dreams, and memories?
