Google has been posting “Search Stories” videos on its YouTube channel since November 2009 and they’re really quite touching. The original search story was “Parisian Love“, about a man who apparently finds love in Paris while studying abroad.
Although I’ve seen Parisian Love before, some of the newer search stories are just as moving.
I never thought the day would come when I would acknowledge that I like modern music.
A year and a bit ago, in December of 2008, I decided that I would solicit music suggestions. A week afterwards, I acknowledged that I appreciated Viva la Vida and soundtrack music.
In the time since then, I have become an aficionado of Taylor Swift’s country pop music, among other artists. (I’ve also developed a liking for Owl City’s Fireflies and Vanilla Twilight.)
Swift’s award-winning You Belong with Me deserved its prize.
It is worth acknowledging that her songs, with few exceptions, are almost exclusively about rosy romance (think Love Story, You Belong with Me) or broken hearts (e.g. Picture to Burn, White Horse). Which means that they’re about the same thing.
Love Story is quite overplayed, so I’ll leave you with Fifteen.
This is one of the most humorous videos I’ve seen in a while. “…introducing Bing: the better way to Google”; also known as “the easiest way to Google since Yahoo!” via TechCrunch

The 11th movie in the Star Trek franchise is being released in theatres on May 8, 2009. If there is a single film in this year that I definitely wish to see, it is this one.
At some point, I am going to learn computer programming — as in C/C++ and/or Java. I’ve never thought about serious programming, but some basic knowledge of the field would be useful for many professions. If anyone wants to offer … Continue reading →
Hey, guys. It’s the end of 2008. This post is surely the last I will make this year, given that it is scheduled to be published on the 31st of December.
At this point in time, we can look back and we can look forwards. We can reflect on all of the things we did right (and the things we did wrong), and think about how we can improve in the future. I’ve said this in some of the holiday-wishes messages that were sent out, and I’ll say it again: there’s always room for self-improvement.
It can’t be fun to end the year on that note. So I’ll leave you, instead, with this amazing video. (I was originally going to use a streaming QuickTime embed, but I realize that many people don’t like QuickTime or don’t have it installed. Instead, here’s the YouTube video — and you can find the video in HD format here.)
