A wonderful way to keep in touch.

Getting into town from Sea-Tac is such a thrill. And when the Viaduct - the Alaskan Highway - is changed, the thrill will still be there.

Nice to be in Seattle (of course)

I was living on dial-up and it became more and more difficult to use Blogger or to use the Daily Sudoku site. Forgot about them, almost. Yes, in the years when Jude had given me a Blackberry I did think about uploading a note or a picture to the blogspot but since I've had the Android, I haven't even kept access points.

But here I am living on Qwest and happy in the shadow of the Space Needle. Did you know it's 605 feet high? And when I take pictures of it from my window and ask Google Goggles about it, Goggles says "Gee, I dunno - there's something in Canada that looks a little like this."

Goggles also snubbed my picture of Mt. Rainier. "It's a what?"

Pretty California-centric? But otherwise, Google Goggles is really fun. Between it and Angry Birds, I guess I really really like Google.
