all things Google…
I said yesterday that I was a fan of all things Google: List of Google products - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Today I discovered a Google service that heretofore was not known to me: Google Book Search. Of course I had to check it out and sign-up for it: Dennis’s library - Google Book Search.

email and PIM’s
I’m a big fan of all things Google, especially gmail. But here is another good PIM suite on the web: GMX - Free E-Mail - Webmail & POP3, IMAP. I nearly forgot I had this but they sent me an update in my gmail today. This has a very nice looking interface and runs fairly fast too. For sure it’s better than Hotmail !

Googolopoly, a game where you can take part of ruling the internet even if you don’t work in Mountain View. The goal of the game is to use Google shares to buy as many properties as you can without landing in the deadpool and losing your stock. Cool !

Google Answers: How many calories per stair?
Google Answers: How many calories per stair?
I wanted to find out the calories burned if I did a complete circuit down and then back up of the stairs in my office building (50 down 50 up). I kept finding calories per hour for either up or down which really wasn’t helpful to me. I mean I am certainly not going to walk the stairs for an hour or even come close to that. The link above gives a figure per stair going up and going down.

web3.0
In my web surfing today I did a search on Google for “virtual worlds” and while looking at some of the items listed I came across the term “web3.0″ Curious how that differs from web2.0. I shall have to investigate later. Here are some links to get started…
virtual worlds - Google Searchhttp://del.icio.us/search/?fr=del_icio_us&p=virtualworld&type=all
WEB3.0 - Google Search

odd stuff from the web…
This was one of the Google Ad links in my gmail this morning. You just never know what’s gonna jump out at you on the web. LOL ! Actually Sweetous and I did have a very small scale enterprise doing in that business a while back; apparently there are others doing it also. Out of curiosity I did a google search for “dog poop” and found some links.
Among the these links is a cautionary tale of what happens to people whose dogs poop on trains in South Korea. This is an interesting example of the power and peril of the web. On the search results page there are numerous ads related to businesses dealing with various aspects of dog excrement. Since this is the internet, you can see listed right at the top are pages for pictures ! YIKES ! I won’t even put the link for that in here, but it’s really there. You just never know what you will find…

you just never know what you’ll see in this blog…
I’ve been procrastinating but finally today I called to schedule a virtual colonoscopy. Going to the doctor is always a pain in the ass, sometimes quite literally ! LOL ! All joking aside though, everyone in my age group should get a colonoscopy from time to time. It could extend your life. The nurse sent me an email with information about the procedure and my appointment; the links that appeared in the google ads were interesting to say the least. Some strange ones also appeared when I did the google search for “colonoscopy”. I will list a couple of these links below:
