So I survived going 14 days without Google. Big deal, you might say, but as soon as Google and I kissed and made up, I couldn’t help but notice how my productivity increased by 147.368%. Oh, yeah…I got a Jabber account because I couldn’t use Google Talk and my friends were all, “Mm-uh, listen here Funky Monkey. What’s up with the new Mac chat name from Berlin?” Google may eventually assimilate us into the Borg, but damn do they make useful, intuitive software. Seriously, what else is there if you’ve had a 15-round cat fight with Google, Apple, and Microsoft? One of these 324? Mee-yow! Nuff said.

I’m bypassing the whole cookie/tracking issue by running Gmail and Google Calendar in Fluid site-specific browsers. Also, I can sleep at night because I’m browsing the web with Firefox and the NoScript, Adblock Plus, and BetterPrivacy add-ons.
