Thus, I've made this blog black.<br /><br />On the topic of Google, this new <a href="http://www.wolframalpha.com">Wolfram|Alpha</a> thing (which is being erroneously touted as a <a href="http://technologizer.com/2009/05/19/a-brief-history-of-google-killers/">Google Killer</a> by some media, hence the segue) is pretty neat. It's like a very well-presented and up-to-the minute online almanac. I enjoyed quickly finding out the weather when I was born (search your "(birthday) (birthplace)" for all sorts of fun information). It doesn't displace Wikipedia (and surely not Google), but it's a nice new resource for quick facts. I look forward to seeing it fleshed out.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/207816163592488887-3785818748539280755?l=vjkapur.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>VJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01660118590770190453noreply@blogger.com3
