Because it’s fun to anthropomorphize web sites

Jesse: I just installed some new software on a Linux system at home last night, and for some reason my copy of Firefox did not want to hit google.com — I was seriously lost
then I tried yahoo.com, and that didn’t come up
so I gave up and used my Mac
such is my reliance on Google
Henry: Just shut down and wrap youself in a blanket. The Google Police will be out soon to fix everything.
Jesse: “Oh Great Google in the sky, why have You forsaken me?”
*shiver *shiver “I’m so cold and alone”
Henry: “Because you doubted me, child.”
“Now kill a fatted calf or something, I dunno.”
Jesse: “I would, but without Your Most Holy Search Function, I have no idea what a ‘fatted calf’ is”
Henry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatted_calf
Jesse: It’s fun to anthropomorphize web sites
Henry: We’ve created another weird little world here, haven’t we?

Jingle Bells…

Seeing this show up in my feed reader today certainly made me feel like it was Christmas.

And for those of you who are lost, this is the open protocol that Google is using for Google Talk, and which I plan to use for my phone. It’s a good thing, a very good thing.
