There’s a place called Happy.
Wednesday, December 7th, 2005Not like anyone reads this with any amount of regularity, but I like to pretend otherwise. I don’t really have anything all that exciting to write about but I just wanted to share a part of my daily routine with the non-existent readership of linesdivide.
I’m a big Google user. Huge, really. Some may even consider me a Google whore. Three GMail addresses, a GTalk account that I never use and I visit Google News at least nineteen or twenty times a day. For those Google connoisseurs out there, Google has put together a nice little page that you can customize to display a variety of content. It’s called… well actually I have no idea what it’s called, but you can access it at http://www.google.com/ig/. When one is logged in with their Google account info, one can see their customized information (news headlines, sports, weather, GMail inbox, etc.) but when not logged in, they give you the generic stuff.
Generic, you ask? Like what? Well Happy, Texas, for one. I cannot fathom why such a large, successful company would choose to regularly profile a town with a population of less than 700 people, but they did. Whatever the reason may be, I keep pretty good tabs on the weather in Happy, TX. Here’s today’s update:

Yeah. Three whole degrees. Or for all of you on the Celcius scale, try a balmy -16. Yikes. Let’s just say that on top of all the other times I’m glad to not be a resident of Texas, this one only adds fuel to my burning desires to remain on the left coast.
I feel obligated to write more because it has been four months since I wrote anything (and years since anything of consequence), but I’m really running low on ideas here. I know, I know… four months and all I’ve got is Happy, TX? I’m working on an online photo album so I can post a really crazy number of photos to this site (via gallery2, for all you nerds out there) but I’m thinking about just outsourcing it to Flickr because I’ve already got an account with them, and their whole interface is pretty hot. Winter break should allow me some time to get all of that in order, so check back my dear non-existent readership.
