Frog In Hot Water
There's an old story about how you can boil a frog. You don't put him hot water right off the bat because he'll just hop out. Instead you put him in cold water, then heat the water with him in it. The change in temperature happens so slowly that he doesn't realize he's being cooked.
So it is with Google and me.
Google first grabbed me with its search engine with its nice clean look. Then Google added image search, then Google Earth, then Google Desktop, then Google Maps, then Google Toolbar, then Google Mail, then Google Talk, then Google Reader, then iGoogle, then Google Notebook, then Google Picasa. I checked out each one and found I could use them all.
On Tuesday I found this:
Google Calendar with Outlook synch.
My calendar available from anywhere automatically synched with my Outlook server every 2 hours.
I am the frog and Sergei Brin keeps turning up the heat.

I use all those Google things, either at home, or the office, or both. We also use Google documents at the office as a quasi-case management software. We keep a running list of all our pending cases and the current status thereof. It may be a little clumsy compared to the software we could have bought. And, it was $2,200 cheaper.
This isn't about the Google Life Suite--don't forget Google Scholar!--but about your reading list. I see you're reading Pete Dexter's "Deadwood." It's a favorite of mine--though of course others' mileage may vary. Dexter himself is quite a character.
So I guess you're a Google Man all the way. I've used Picasa, but none of the others. Maybe I should look into some more Google stuff.
