Lemur Feeds; Packing Lists; and DON'T Google It

I have nothing to write here. All my thought and energy has gone into several long and fascinating email conversations. I said some very insightful things. I am quite pleased with myself.

Anyway these delicious links caught my eye today:

Lemurs! Google feeds of search results from "Lemurs"? Hmmm...

Apparently packing/travelling is popular right now. If I ever get around to travelling these links might be handy: The Universal Packing List and One Bag: The Art and Science of Travelling Light.

Then there is this: Google It You Moron. No! No! No! Much as I profess to worshiping google, I am not sure I like the way that the first thing everyone does when they have a question is to google it. I wonder just how powerful google is? I wonder what happens when nobody talks anymore because google knows everything?

It reminds me of how Bob gets annoyed with me sometimes for asking "stupid questions" like what a word means. Apparently I am supposed to be googling it (or looking it up in a real live dictionary). I get annoyed with Bob because I am asking him because I want to know what he thinks the word means. If I wanted to know what the dictionary thinks it means I would be asking the dictionary.

Hmm, good question. I'll add it to my list of things to google and get back to you on that one.
