One thing I want to add here is that Google is pretty amazing. I’ve customized my Google start page with tons of news sites, movie times, weather etc. which includes my G-mail inbox. I’ve also customized my Google News on specific subjects. Those people at Google are sharp. Must be why their stock is waaay up.

I have meticulously organized favorites and then a big gout of random ones underneath my pretty folders. I should really go through and check because I probably haven't touched most of them in *years* (upon further review, I still have course links from my Freshman year of college). The higher resolution on this computer has really spoiled me because I can have like 50 entries without having to scroll, which would result in immediate paring.

The ones I use semi-regularly are:

http://www.mecca.org/~crights/dream.html - a transcript of the "I Have a Dream" speech
http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=181366 - a copy of the Oedipus essay that is probably one of the main reasons God hasn't wiped us all from the face of the earth.
http://www.sinfest.net - a bunch of my favorite strips and because I can never remember if it's .net or .com or .org.
http://www.beliefnet.com/story/146/story_14683.html - a really sweet Bono speech with only one or two weird rambling remarks.

[Bobmuhthol]

God that Oedipus essay is seriosly eight billion times funnier now that I've read the trilogy.

Hmm, the ones I use the most....

Conversations with God forum
My blog site

My Lycos e-mail site
Two different CGI proxy sites (one keeps timing out lately so I added another)

Never made one.
Ever. :(

For the people who bookmark things like google: Why? Isn't it fairly easy to remember and type in, or am I missing something?

[SpunGirl]

Actually, I just hit the drop - down button on my internet explorer and copied all the sites that are listed there.

[Asha]

I type in my favourite por . . . er . . sites so quickly and fluidly through so much practice, that it would take longer to point and click on a favourite tab or bookmark.

[DeV]

Is it so fluid that the address shows up automatically after the first couple of words start getting typed?

[Asha]

No, I have to turn off that feature as it's a shared computer.

Just using technology in the most efficient way. If you need to go twenty miles do you walk or find a ride?

BTW, my browser Safari, and probably most others, have a Google search field in the upper right corner. The reason why I have Google bookmarked is for the reasons I posted earlier in the thread. I have a customized page, much like My Yahoo that access my gmail, the news, weather yadda yadda.

<<BTW, my browser Safari, and probably most others, have a Google search field in the upper right corner.>>

This is inexistent in Internet Explorer as a default. Google does offer a toolbar for IE, though.

Having played with the iMacs at school, I did wonder if that Google shit was part of the OS or if the school put it there. Knowing that Mac OS X has a Google search field in every browser/whatever the Mac equivalent of Windows Explorer is window is sort of saddening.

My Firefox has one as well. What would be really cool is if I could customize my browser to display fields for Dictionary.com and Wikipedia as well. Or Ask Jeeves or any query based sites.

As a matter of fact, that's what I'd been doing (walking vs. bus) for the past two months.

A dictionary.com field thingie would be sweet though. Or I could just learn how to spell separate (seperate? separate? ARGH).
