Bali approacheth and preparations need to kick into high gear. We've been sending some time shopping for clothes and such and I think I have everything I'll need clothes-wise for the trip. We still have a million things to... make sure the luggage is in proper order, all of the supplies are available for caring for the cats (thanks Steven!), etc, etc, etc.

*deep breath* Here we go!

In other news, Google has started the Google Blog! As described in the first post:

We're going to post stuff here - regular bloggy things: What Larry had for breakfast. What Sergey thinks of that Hellboy movie. Which Dawson's Creek character reminds us most of Eric.

And perhaps, news about Google, and our thoughts on whatever random events cross our horizon.

I'm very pleased by it because they've started using it to try to help debunk rumors that are floating around, like that we are "outsourcing" jobs to India instead of hiring people in the US. It's not about hiring in India INSTEAD of the US, it's about hiring in India IN ADDITION to the US.

I'm very pleased this blog exists and you all can find it in my links above if you happen to forget where it is.
