Did I tell you I went to a religious University?

Receiving the Alumni Newsletter can be a disturbing thing at times, especially when you get something like this in the mail!

Desktop Google

Note: And yes, I posted this before Slashdot!

They did it.

At long last, they did it.

The crazy cool bastards did it.

Free Google Search for your desktop data at desktop.google.com

It's indexing my laptop now.

I already used it to find a document I was looking for.

Now, in they'll just add support for Thunderbird e-mail, I'll be happy as a clam!

From the FAQ:

With Google Desktop Search, you can search the full text of your email, files, viewed web pages, and chats

Osama and Pat

From The Christian Science Monitor

On Osama Bin Laden

He seems to feel that his theological credibility rests on convincing Muslims that they are everywhere under attack.

For those who grew up in Conservative Christian households, that statement may very well show how much Zealots of both faiths have in common. The 700 Cub spent half it's air time telling viewers how much Christians were under attack both around the world and in America.

I'm not calling Osama Bin Laden a Muslim Pat Robertson mind you, because Pat never encouraged a few dozen people to fly a plane into a building.

Of course Pat did say that the 9/11 attacks were in part, judgment from God for things like permitting homosexuals to exist and legalized abortion, so I don't consider him much better.
