I can almost guarantee that you will be amazed at the goings on at Google Print. When it lets you get results like this, really, what can one say? I am just amazed at what they are doing. As a pseudo computer scientist, I am just in awe of what their underlying implementations must be - it is truly amazing that they have managed to design fault-tolerant systems with perversely fast search algorithms. I can only shake my head in disbelief.

It does seem like this blog is turning into one of those blogs, eh? Funnily enough, my original concept for this blog was precisely things of this nature - it seems that only when I started to take it more seriously did the direction change. On a surface level, certainly the world of technology can seem cold and unforgiving, and really not all that appealing. It certainly does not spark up images like a piece of literature, but I maintain that underneath it all, there is some clarity and elegance which can affect one in a different way. What, say, is the appeal of an elegant algorithm? It is easy to look at it and dismiss it as being a set of procedures to be carried out, but that misses the point I think - the beauty is to be found in the idea, not in its manifestation. I suppose I've been intoxicated with this notion of late, which explains the sudden outburst of posts on software, design, and the good life. I can't promise I will change, but I've been through such phases before, and chances are good that next week I'll be back to posting..oh, wait, I haven't posted anything good since last year! Ah well, maybe I'll post more links to Google print? Or better yet, how about 1D Tetris?
