For Christmas, my mom got my little bro and I tickets to go indoor skydiving at iFly Hollywood in Universal City, CA. It rocked.

Classic Michael Scott...

You just went to the Google home page.

Simple, isn't it?

What just actually happened?

Well, when you know a bit of about how browsers work, it's not quite that simple. You've just put into play...

Hilarious. This vid will always remind me of my brother Jonathan.

For some reason, I find this very impressive. The band Skillet, who sings Awake and Alive -- a song I just heard for the first time on the radio the other day -- is... well let me back up.

When I first heard the song, I was trying to figure out who was singing it because the (male) lead vocalist's voice, as well as that of the (female) backup vocalist, sounded very familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. To me, the male voice sounded kind of like a mix between Chad Kroeger of Nickelback and Scott Stapp of Creed, while the female voice sounded kind of like a mix between Nina Gordon of Veruca Salt, Amy Lee of Evanescence, and Avril Lavigne of... herself.

Turns out I was completely wrong on all counts...

As big a Google fan as I am, I can't *stand* Google Instant. If I could express the degree to which I can't stand it, I would (but I can't). On a scale of 1 to 10 though -- 1 being "passionately in love" and 10 being... whatever "the opposite of passionately in love" is -- I'd probably give it a literal googol. Great idea, but it sucks.

Google Instant: you're annoying.
