Filed under: Technology > Thanks



And who should I thank for what I am today?

Well, my mother of course, not only did she bear me into this world through a veil of agony and tears...not only did she teach me to stand on my own by sending me to the coal mines when I turned 11, first to take over for the Canary, Tweets, who had died the week before, then later as a miner, as soon as I could hoist the pick-ax over my head...not only did she make sure that I lived through the Irish Potato Famine by feeding me worms and grubs that she caught with her very own hands...but she is my inspiration for blogging today. It was she who said, 'Son, I want to start one of those...how do you say it...bloggy-things.' And while researching how one becomes a blogger, I came upon....Google.

Of course Google has always 'been there'....but we owe them abundant praise for providing the tool that I am using to write and publish this blog....hello, people...for free!...but more than that, Google is redefining the world in which we communicate in and they are the fountain from which all technological goodness flows.
