I was trying to remember something just now. Not a fact or a bit of knowledge; I was trying to remember a snippet of conversation, a comparison between two things that I'd heard someone make a little earlier today.
I couldn't remember.
And I thought, "well, no big deal. Let me just Google for it."
On the one hand I'm horrified that my memory is so feeble, that I've let the tiredness and lack of sleep over the past few days build up and hit me as hard as it has.
On the other hand, the idea of a search engine that has the contents of your brain archived and call them up by relevance and key word is just cool. Hardly a unique idea, I expect, but very cool.
I'm posting about it here so that I'll, you know, still remember it tomorrow.

Considering that I once wrote an editorial column about lifelog, it's incredible that I forgot about it.
Or maybe not, considering how feeble my memory is. Who am I, again?

Google is amazing.
And amusing, at that.
Yesterday, I spent a good hour googling all my old screennames, aliases and even my real name.
It's really amusing to look back at some of the posts I made as a 12-year-old. *giggles*
Google is pretty much the ultimate stalker tool. *trots to check the 'lifelog' link out of curiousity*
