    The Google Advanced Search page now adds reading level as another criterion for narrowing down your search.

    Maybe I need to return to writing run-on sentences and using adjectives other then “epic”.

    So, how much time did you spend playing with this? I’m halfway to figuring out a drinking game.

    Get more free stickers from Google by playing their 10 Days in Google Books game. Use Google Books to search for the answers to a few trivia questions and write a sentence or two about the “future of reading” (dundundadun!). The first 20,000 people to do so get a Google Books sticker. I’m all about free stickers!

    Today’s the first day! Go for it!

    • ]]>     Hello Kitty Bento - 240x320 Wallpaper

    Google Operating System notes that by using the parameter “imagesize:WIDTHxHEIGHT” you can find images of specific dimensions. I’m finding this useful for discovering 240×320 wallpapers for my phone. In addition to using this parameter, you must also add a search term: such as “imagesize:240×320 kitty“.

    I’m a bit late hearing about this, but the folks at Gmail want to send you some free, shiny Gmail stickers.

    You just need to send a self-addressed envelope to:
    Send me some Gmail stickers already
    P.O. Box 391420
    Mountain View, CA 94039-1420

    Sounds like which of the bookplate-style stickers you get is random. I really have my heart set on that unicorn one.

    Full details at the Gmail Blog.

    Google finds over 278,000,000 results for “quotes” but only 22,000,000 for “pornography“.

    You could check it out for yourself but remember: “Thou shalt not question Stephen Fry.”

    Return to those simple days when your Google search results were uncluttered by “Promote” and “Remove” icons with the No SearchWiki Greasemonkey script. Hurrah!

    New to Greasemonkey? Here is a helpful link.
