Did you know that Google could do all this stuff?

He seems to have a light, airiness to his voice, and at the same time is totally full of soul and feeling. Amos Lee was an elementary English teacher before deciding to make music as a profession. I purchased his self titled album and the first time I listened to it I thought it was good, and the more I listen to it, the more I like it. Now I totally love it. It is a great combination of mellow-acoustic-ness and complete heart-felt soul. It is just dang good stuff. I highly recommend it.

This is Google's answer to Hotmail...and it rocks. I use it everyday and love it. It has great features, such as being able to search all your old emails, more than 2 gigabytes of memory, and automatically adding people who write you to your contacts list. And now you can sign up for it. Check it our here.

...a great Google story.

The artwork is an interactive map of more than 33,000 words. Each word has been assigned a color based on the average color of images found by a search engine. The words are then grouped by meaning. The resulting patterns form an atlas of our lexicon.

Very cool. Check it out here.

You have a much needed light for all the dark rooms of our lives.

When you are kneeling
And praying
And you don't believe,
That is faith.

"And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto Thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit...
He answereth him...'bring him unto me.'
And they brought him unto Him: and when He saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
And He asked his father,
'How long is it ago since this came unto him?'
And he said,
'Of a child...If Thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.'
Jesus said unto him,
'If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.'
And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears,
'Lord, I believe; help Thou mine unbelief.'"
--St. Mark 9:17-24

I have been pensive for the last few days. Very pensive. You know those times of introspection. Self-evaluation. Well, it's one of those times for me. It feels good. Deep. Real.

...gotta love it. Yeah that's me right in the middle of the picture with the cool shades on.
