I am a part time nerd, part time chef and full time whiner. Did I type whiner? I meant winner...no wait, I whine a lot. I've worked in High Tech and Television and a few places in between. I've eaten fire roasted snakes and hand fulls of peeps (not in the same sitting of course). I'd like to share my experiences, so read on.

Google: The next, nicer Big Brother

So quietly, Google is slowing doing it's part to make most applications obsolete. I'm all for this. But how far will thier control go?

They know what we buy
They know what we do
They know what we say
They know what we want to see
They know where we want to go
They control what we hear

I happily accept what's going on. I love every service they come out with. They recently bought a company that does community meetings via cell phones. They already have a cell phone service for searching here. Now that they own Dodgeball.com, we'll see where they take this. When should we worry that slowly, one company is controlling every application we use on the internet. We all foresee the uselessness of applications on a computer, they will eventually all be online. Google is 24 steps ahead of that. But who will protect us against Google is they loose the "cool" factor.
