the power of google




A picture of Long Island City Queens.












I continue to be amazed at how Google/You Tube grows and expands. Google's GMail and Calendar functions read my email and categorize it (for example anything that mentions NYU--where I teach-- and is received by gmail seems to automatically end up in an NYU folder--which I set up)

Today I received a suggestion from Google to add an appointment I had scheduled for this upcoming Friday to my Google Calendar --which, by the way, I have never used.

Each day applications appear, and attempt to grab a share of usage. Others just continue to improve and morph into easy to use functions. I think back to my Palm Pilot 10 or 12 years ago--very cool for the time. It's too bad more American companies aren't like Google...or Apple or even the behemoth Microsoft....we would have had a stronger economy had we focused on this type of R and D.

Queensbridge Park

59th st
bridge




I ride my bike frequently in this park, and across this bridge--the 59th st (queensboro) bridge from Long Island City Queens to midtown Manhattan

I was there today but didn't take any pictures on this sultry sunny morning
