The simple charms of Bing

My primary search engine has changed for two very trite reasons and one paranoid reason:
  • Nice pictures - I'm sick of Google's cloying cutesiness
  • Shorter url - my homepage is about:blank and I type a lot of urls
  • When logged into any of the google apps, I don't also want my searches to be associated with my google account

So...time for google to buy a domain off ggl.com?

Lyrics for We Walk In Circles by Computers Want Me Dead

This is my quick effort after listening to this 3 times:

lets undress you're me unique
unless then rest just us two geeks
lets allow just one to sleep
those same sad eyes you give the creeps

we walk in circles til the sun burns out our eyes
all right
we walk in circles til the time erodes our fight
decline

(not going to attempt the distorted stuff at the end)

Joseph O'Neill, we salute you

His novel "Netherland" is about a Dutch cricket fan whose obsession takes him into the world of the migrant underclass in New York. Friday must have been a special day for him.
