The city has been pushing to become a test site for googles new ultra high speed internet so they changed the name of our city to Google last month. Be pretty cool to become that test site. Of course I live outside city limits so probably won't have access anyway.

 

Thats cool and insane at the same time. Its like right in the middle of no where, I know that Ft. Riley and KSU could use all that technology so good deal!

 

I'm in city limits by 1/4 mile. I doubt it benefits me. But it is an amazing opportunity for Topeka.

 

*cough* april fools *cough*

 

Gotta love the guys at google! Haha

my thoughts exactly. unfortunate since my internet sucks here.

 

Some more additions google made today.

*A new option in Google Books to read digital books in 3D.

*The ability to store anything in Google Docs, including physical objects such as keys.

*Google Street View is now available in Anachrome 3D.

*Google Maps in Australia now features directions with Australian slang phrases like “mate” and “chuck a left.”

*Google’s search results show the time taken to load results in different units such as microfortnights and nanocenturies.

*A new animal translator that bridges the language gap between animals and humans.

*Standard voicemail for Google Voice.

*Google added an “evil bit” to its API to differentiate legitimate API traffic from malicious actions.

*New “wave” notifications for Google Wave have humans wave at you when Google Wave has been updated.

*Google Annotations Gallery, “an exciting new Java open source library that provides a rich set of annotations for developers to express themselves.”

*A new Japanese keyborard that looks like a drumkit and includes a single key for each Japanese character.

*Gmail has lost its vowels. It's now called Gml.

 

J, I'm out north. Any pictures of your truck? Curious to see if I've seen you around. Although I probably see an average of 25 F150s a day in this town.

 

 

^^That second one is completely do-able and would be extremely funny.

 

Depending on North, I drive back and forth from Hoyt 3 mornings a week.

I'll have to take some of the new(er) one.
