The Google Homepage and Me

I'm not one for having a "homepage", generally. Firefox usually just opens up to the Firefox default page and that's that. Recently, I've seen Richard using the Google Homepage. He raves about it all the time, so I decided to give it a look, and holy christ on a cracker is it ever cool. Ever had a site that you thought was cool but never remember to check? Don't really like RSS feeds coming to you via e-mail or whatever client? Put it on the homepage. There are tons of widgets and news feeds and all sorts of business you can put on it. I may be way behind the times (I'm pretty tech-savvy if I do say so, but sometimes you just miss things, you know?), but here's the list of things I have on mine so far. You can add these to your homepage by setting up a google account and editing your homepage, then searching the homepage content for the titles.

That probably says a lot about me. Also, that is a ton of shit to look at. Now I'll probably waste more time than ever reading things on the internet when I have schoolwork and all kinds of other business to attend. Oh well.
