Blog distinction

This is the original FlannCo web log.  I migrated its most interesting content to Wordpress.com in June of 2010. I intended to keep this around for cross posting but then decided that cross posting is for people who have an unlimited supply of time and energy.  So I resolved to retain it as a placeholder and occasionally link to the new blog's content (example).

As the Flannery Correspondence idea is growing in importance and professionalism (at least in my mind), I am inclined to keep flannco.wordpress.com devoted to clean, clear, refined writing about correspondence, our family and how Gypsies may build castles.  As for this blog, flannco.blogspot.com, I am redefining it for any flow-of-consciousness ideas that I do not have time to explore but may test on the open internet before they are ripe.  Rename:  FlannCo Flow, to reflect the rushing issue of ideas, many uncaught or un-catchable that float past without second thought.

Let It All Hang Out

Elizabethtown reminded me of this hidden musical treasure:

Robot Auto-completes

There I am typing a search into Google.  Before I can finish, it's already suggesting results based on what I've typed so far:  "Robot" suggests "robot unicorn attack" and "robotic pirate monkey".  I abandoned my search, deciding that whatever I was searching for was pretty lame compared to the amazing things Google expects me to search for.

(Upon closer inspection, Google's Autocomplete feature is a cause of recent controversy.  But I'm not suing.  I'm just gonna let this one go.)
