Do No Evil Ever

I saw Inside the Mind of Google, a One-Hour Documentary reported by CNBC's Maria Bartiromo.  You may know, I'm a huge Google fan.  This show did give me reason to pause and re-think some of my here-to-fore fervor.  Almost two billion people world-wide use Google search EVERYDAY.  Google stores every one of these searches and associates it with the computer from which the search took place or if one is signed in to Google the search is assinged to the user.  People indirectly tell Google things they won't even tell their psychiatrist, priest or mate.  That's a lot of power.  Right now the company's privacy policy has world-wide respect (hence the 2 b searches).  But if Google corporate culture changed over time and they wanted to use their knowledge/ power ....hmmm.  I was waiting for Spring when Verizon is to get Nexus One but I may have to go with the iPhone after all.

Was a Sunny Day

"Was a sunny day
Not a cloud was in the sky....not a negative word was heard from the peoples passing by
Was a sunny day
All the birdies in the trees
And the radio singing songs all the favorite melodies

He was a navy man
Stationed at Newport News
She was a high school queen with nothing really left to lose.

Her name was Laura Liegh
She was his only girl
She called him Speedle but his christian name was Mr. Earl."
