I Have My Sources...

A small revelation from the past year is that having capabilities in more than one language leads to the ability to extract more information on the same topic from multiple Wikipedia articles written in those different languages.

That Pointilism function in Adobe is pretty nifty.

Speaking of recent storms and weather here, Google Mail's "Tree" theme (one of the ones I like best) has a pretty sweet background for thunderstorm weather. For those of you who aren't familiar or who have never tried it, this is one of the dynamic themes that changes depending on the weather in your region.



(Another touch that I like about the normal rainy weather background is that the inbox window has little droplets on it. Likewise, when it snows, there are snowdrifts piled on the edges of those windows. Hurrah, Google! How could I have ever survived in the bleak, empty, boring world before you came along.)
