After my Google Docs Rocks post a few days ago, I had a conversation with Donell Frank that led to her commenting:

Pretty soon we will have a contact lens and we will “see” our desktop, and we will have a chip the size of a rice grain injected into our fingers that allows us to pick up and move our files we see on our contact lens, like that thing on that one movie with Tom Cruise and those weird people they kept in the water that could see the future

We’re not there yet, but this is a step in the right direction.  Just ran across it on ma.tt mullenweg’s blog – pretty slick. I’m excited about it.

Wonder if Apple’s announcement is going to be similar…

Google Docs has been rolling out the ability to upload, store and organize ANY type of file recently.

It was an awesome service that allowed you to upload and convert .doc, .xls & .ppt files (MS Word, MS Excel & MS PowerPoint).  From there, you could access them from any computer as long as you were logged into Gmail (or your Google account) and share them or collaborate with friends.

It was always a drag not being able to upload .pdf’s and other types of files but things have changed.  Upload a .pdf and when you click on it, the Gmail .pdf viewer opens the file for you – pretty slick.

They also recently added the ability to share entire folders. Iit’s worth a look. Head over to https://docs.google.com/ and check it out.

Happy Googlin.

Google released Picasa 3.5 a couple of weeks ago and it’s got my vote. It basically allows you to tag photos similar to the way photos can be tagged on Facebook.

They’ve got all kinds of cool little features built in to it. Picasa will scan all of your photos and look for matches to names you’ve already assigned Read more

Just noticed the link on Google’s home page to the President’s website – whitehouse.gov.  I can’t say I’m convinced that President Obama is the solution for our country, but I’ve been baffled for years about why more politicians don’t leverage the internet to connect with their constituents better.

They’re not quite there yet, but this is a good indication of what so many geeks have been concered about with Google.  I’m a huge fan of Google – I use Google services on a daily basis as a routine part of my day-to-day life every day: Gmail from Google, Google Calendars, Google Maps, Google Chat, Google Spreadsheets Read more

I just added another “website” under jasonmassengale.com at jasonmassengale.com/real_estate_websites.

Before I submitted the sitemap to Google, they were indexing 94 pages on jasonmassengale.com.

I’m just testing it to see how long it takes to pick up the other pages and include them – or if it will at all. The new sitemap I submitted is in a different location and I’m not sure if Google will like it. Read more

Any time I see cool stuff on the internet, I usually try to figure out how to get it myself. Sometimes I keep em, sometimes I just check them out then dump em. I ran across Meebo yesterday and think it’s a keeper.

It’s on my Howdy page now if you want to see it in action.

I like the interface for the user, but my first impression was that it sucked because you have to be on their website to use it. Really? Think I’m going to stay logged into your website when I’m online and want to chat? Read more

Just googled my buddy Monte Pittman and ran across this video after I talked to him on Facebook. The Monte is painting update got my attention. Read more

Been noticing lately how many friends (real friends) I’ve been running across on Facebook lately from Texas, USMC and MN. It’s good to see that I’m not the only one that got tired of MySpace and the stupid little nick names, lousy profile layouts that people think are so cute and all the rest of the distracting crap on there.

How bout this Santa?  We had the family Christmas Eve gathering at our house this year.  All in all, things went well.  No fights with the in-laws, actually I don’t recall hearing any arguing at all – that makes two grief free holidays in a row.  Let’s hope this is the beginning of a long trend.  God knows the previous trend was really starting to wear on me.
