SMS...google style

this is an oldie but a goodie...thanks, coredump!

for those of us who don't have internet on our cells or nice little PDAs, you can use Google on your cell phone by sending a message to 46645 (GOOGL - no "E" needed). type in your query for the message. for instance, you can look for gas stations by texting "gas stations" and the zipcode you are in. after sending your SMS out, you'll get a few messages worth of results. check out the title link of this blog for more info.

...some wOrds of advicE

so I've quit my first real job (after 4 years of service) and taken another that starts next week. yippee! i decided to take some time off between jobs and i've been on vAcation for 2.5 weeks now...yet somehow I have managed to do very little! sure, i tried out a few new recipes (and will probably share some later), read a few books, traveled, worked out, watched some TV, relaxed, saw family and friends, and of course, did nothing at all...it is amazing how time flies. i did manage to wash and clean my car. not an easy feat when you don't have a hose or a driveway (well not one that is as Long as the little civic that we drive).

you're probably wondering by now what my recommendation this week will be, right? here's what i recommend...nothing. NOTHING! just take a sec and zone out. hey, take a few weeks and do nothing! seriously. you need to take some time and just unwind. don't work, don't stress, don't do anything but enjoy life. if you really need to do something, then read a book, paint something, shop, watch a Tigers game, but don't work or think about work. we don't take enough time to ourselves.

here comes the cliche...work to live but don't live to work. stop to the smell the flowers sometime soon.
