Goggle at Google


We always take things for granted. It seems, the better something is at its job, the less we notice it.

Take for instance: Google.
It's always there, it's always working, it always provides us with the answers we need.

In fact, Google has invaded our popular culture, and our language. To "google" something is now commonplace, and Googlisms has its own devoted web site.

Results of my own Googlism:
jacqui is ready for gold rush
jacqui is recognized in the community for her expertise in working with couples
jacqui is diverse and energetic
jacqui is a born artist
jacqui is in elk geval een zeer opmerkelijk gitarist
jacqui is an artist of figurative subjects with life and energy
jacqui is our shop photographer
jacqui is a gift to interview
jacqui is an undergraduate student of merit
jacqui is her ability to accept me as I am and for who I am in spite the fact that she knows me so well

In fact, it's so damn good, that Microsoft is getting envious and has plans of rolling out there own version of a super-search engine later on this year. Phhhht. Like they have a chance!

So we take it for granted. Google is a rock on which internet subculture is built. It's there. It's always there. Have you ever seen a Google Error Page? Neither had I. In 4 years of Google usage (Yeah, so what. I'm a google early-adopter snob! What of it?) Google has always been there, until this morning when it wasn't there.

Google Error Page

It's a mark of quality when even the Error Pages are given their own special worth.
Go Google, Go!
