Google God

Google Docs Offline App At Far Right. Yeah, so I play Angry Birds. What's your point? It's a metaphor, and highly political. Are those eggs fertilized? Do they merit the destructive fury of avian parents? Is an unfertilized egg morally worth starting a war over? Does the ham-and-eggs subtext imply a masochistic or self-destructive complex in the porcine "villains"? I consider it research.A couple of weeks ago, I posted about some of the gaps in Google's bid to become God.  One of those objections was the problem of working offline with Google Documents.

Obviously the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and clearly Google monitors this blog closely. <ahem>

There's  a decent offline app for Google's Chrome browser now.  I'm test-driving it in class today, and it seems to be what was wanted.

One small step closer to apotheosis. 

But even minor deities should be able to paginate their documents... .

" I consider it research." <chuckling> Aw, Otter, the things you endure in your quest for enlightenment. An inspiration to us all. ;)

G+ gave me a choice to close my account or change my name to an acceptable "real name" becuz Starlite Faerie is not acceptable. When I chose to close my account, they explained to me that I had to accept that I understood I would no longer have access to google services (and I had to click next to each one - "see what you are going to be missing???") and then it told me all my G+ posts, comments, and +1s would be erased. *I* would be erased.

Basically, I just ceased to exist in the Google Universe.

Kinda creepy, in a way.
