Google is taking over the World!
OK, I admit it. I love all things Google. It started out with the simple search engine. Then Gmail. Soon I discovered Picasa, Google’s free photo software. And what about Google Maps with Satellite and Google Earth. It’s all here.
My latest toy is Google Talk. It’s a new messaging app that also lets you make phone calls over the internet for free. All you need is a broadband connection, and a speaker and microphone or one of those geeky telemarketing headsets. I’m going to see if I can make it work with a bluetooth headset, then I can get up and wander around while I talk.
I’m thinking this is going to save me a lot of money on calls while traveling. Pretty cool, eh?

Cool blog Tim! I’ll have to get set up on that Internet phone service. What will they come up with next. Best of luck in your travels!

Hey Tim,
A friend of yours pointed me at your blog….good luck with your travels! Should you feel so moved, you might commemorate your travels with a goofy “common theme” video. You can post it on yet another Google-taking-over-the-world service (Google Video) like this guy:

I think he proved that laughter is not a bad way to meet people as you travel around the world 😉
