GOOGLE -- THANK YOU FOR MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT

Google has given $20 million to charity on my behalf (and on behalf of its other AdSense customers). This is not exactly the present that I had in mind, but thanks to Google, charities will get needed funds.

I do need to inform Google that Ms. Manners says that a donation to a charity of your choice is not really a gift to someone else. On the other hand, Ms. Manners also says that you are not allowed to critize the manners of anyone else, so what does she know? %>)

Long time readers of my blog will remember that I asked Google to give me $20 million so that I could start the Pamela Smith Center for Law and Science. Guess that is not going to happen. %>(

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY NEW YEAR, and HAPPY WHATEVER HOLIDAYS YOU CELEBRATE!
