Ok, at the risk of angering my patient audience, I’m posting yet ANOTHER non-“Where I Do Stuff” post. Let me assure you, again, that the next episode of that is in development, and it’s a doozy! But for now, I MUST tell you about something I’ve found that is so incredibly cool, and getting cooler. I’m doing this because I believe in something: I believe in the power of one really cool company to do many really cool things in their quest to organize the world’s information. Enough buildup, already? I agree. Here it is:<\/p>\n

A personalized Google search page. It sounds a lot less sexy than it really is. Below is a screenshot of my Google personalized search page. As always, clicking on the picture will bring up a new window with a larger, easier-to-see version. You can have all kinds of neat stuff on your page, and the interface is continuing to improve. I have my 6 most recently recieved e-mails from my Gmail account, tech and business news, a stock quote for Google (I own 5 shares that are doing really well), some daily quotes, personalized bookmarks, and other cool stuff. The only reason I don’t have the local weather on there because I don’t have a zip code right now. By now you’re asking, “How can I get this cool thing so I can be as web-savvy as you, Andrew?” Great question! All you have to do is go to www.google.com\/ig<\/a> (new window) and create a google account. Last I heard, anyone could create a google account. I don’t know if that means anyone can have a Gmail account, but if you want one and it doesn’t come with the google account, just ask me in the comments below. Be sure to include your e-mail address and I’ll send you an invitation to join Gmail. Let me know what you think and how you’ve personalized YOUR Google page in the comments below! I can answer any questions you have in getting it set up, too.<\/p>\n

Cheers,
\nAndrew<\/p>\n
