For some time it’s been hard not to notice Google’s ever-broadening influence on my life. Like many people, I use Google apps for maps, mail, spreadsheets, searching and more. If I have questions, Google almost always has the answer.

As I gathered with family over the holidays, Google was used more than once to settle a squabble over some bit of trivia.

We shared some great laughs too. Some of the loudest were over video we’d sent each other from YouTube, Google’s $1.6 billion destination of choice for those with borrowed time on their hands.

In 2007, Google has plans for a bunch more solutions to problems I won’t know I have until it solves them.

Yet just as I feel ready to acquiesce, to fully embrace this Age of Goobiquity, some are also predicting that SweetG may be flirting with the dark side…

One of the hardest things to nail down early in the process of designing a website is the colour scheme. Fortunately, there are some great resources out there for inspiration. I like this one the best.

I think my next vehicle will either be a hybrid or the ultra-efficient Jetta TDI. In the meantime, however, I plan to investigate this cheaper option.

I’m blogging at last.

I’ve been thinking about doing this for a long time, wondering where I’d find the time to write, what I’d write about … finally I decided I had to start somewhere. This is that place.

Bear with me while I find my way…
