So I guess today I would like to talk about Cuil (pronounced, "cool"), a new web search engine launched earlier this week. Many people are calling it the Google-killer, but as of yet, I'm barely impressed. Yes, of course they are a brand spanking new organization and Google has years ahead of them, so Cuil is going to have to get their shit together and really start cranking out some new and innovative features. But apparenently working there is >= working at Google as this Slashdot article implies. How I wish that my job would involve me sitting around like Hedonism-bot, being fed grapes by scantily-clad network technicians, but we can't all live in the fantasy world and I wonder how long it'll be before Cuil realizes this too. I'm open to what other people have to say but I'm pretty confident that if they want to play in the big boy leagues with Google, then not only are they going to need some really shiny new features but also add the ability to search their own site. (ouch)
For the last few days I've been house sitting for my mom, well this morning I got up late because my phone died and my alarm didn't go off, so I got to be awoken by my dog licking my face. And it should be known that for whatever reason, every single clock in the house has a different time and none of them seemed to be right. So as I'm rushing to pack up and get ready for work, I frantically get my car keys and go outside only to discover that the dome light is on. Well sure enough my car is dead, but being stubborn like I am, I just keep turning the key, trying to get the alternator to turn over, and sure enough with the right amount of patience and key clicking it started. So I pull out of the driveway and begin my journey back to my house so I can finish getting ready for work, but of course this can't be made easy so the world decides to stick a HUGE tractor thing in front of me with a top speed slower than the shuttle crawler, I get to follow that for 30 minutes. Well getting to my house and hot swapping the phone batteries only to realize that I don't have to be at work for another 35 minutes. Awesome morning. And isn't it hilarious the way that everything was so planned to make it that way? I think it was.
Well it's almost the end of the day so I guess I'll go ahead and post this. I didn't get to do much searching around on the Internet because I had a lot of stuff to do at work today. I guess this morning should have been some indication of the rest of my day. Oh yeah, and I don't work on Fridays so I probably won't be posting either. So see you guys Monday.
