I'm in love...

With Google.  I'm serious.  I just got done with a long editing session on a group assignment on Google Docs.  And it was way too much fun and way too convenient.  OK...so the only reason it was fun is probably because my group is HILARIOUS.  But Google amazes me everyday.  My friend Mercedes once quoted some random guy behind her in her Facebook status.  He said, "I have this personal belief that God knows everything and Google knows almost everything."  SO TRUE.  What did people ever do without Google?  I mean how else are people supposed to know when random anniversaries occur?  For example, without Google changing it's logo on the search start page today, I would not have known that today is the 115th anniversary of the discovery of x-rays.  My life could have never been so complete.  And Google has the solution to all problems.  Google Maps is a life saver.  I used to be a MapQuest loyalist, but have been converted to Google Maps.  It allows you  to take people on a virtual tour of your home town with the satellite view.  What could be more entertaining?  :)  A little creepy at times, but extremely useful as well.  My power points would be oh so boring with out the magic of Google Images.  And Google Scholar is quite helpful as well.  I can't forget Blogspot, the provider of this very blog, which is the child of Google.  And YouTube is owned by Google too.  And Google Chrome is my favorite web browser.  And Picasa is a Google product as well.  I've heard nothing beats G-Mail...although I have not been converted yet.  (Mostly because I am too lazy to switch.)  I am reminded of this one time when Google didn't work for awhile.  I did not know what to do with myself.  Luckily it began to work soon.  So, basically Google should hire me to be a spokesperson for them.  :)

And since it is Sunday...here is a spiritual tidbit.  Elder M. Russell Ballard came and spoke at BYU for a CES fireside today.  (It was SO good.)  There was this humongous (I'm talking 700+ people) choir who performed.  They sang "True to the Faith".  Here is the chorus to the song:

True to the faith that our parents have cherished,
True to the faith for which martyrs have perished,
To God's command, Soul, heart, and hand,
Faithful and true we will ever stand.

Evan Stephens (he wrote it) was genius.  These words are so great and inspiring!  I love the gospel and am so blessed to be a member of the church!

Anyway...have a good week.  :)

Bridget I love you and your posts, and I feel like I might possibly get annoying because I comment on every one, but they are hilarious and they make me laugh. I love you tangents.
