Interesting info !

There is this thing in Google called web history which stores all your search histories and trends. I was just browsing through it and was surprised to note that i have made about some 3000 google searches in the last 6 months. On many days, the number of searches has been more than 40 per day !!!!

I have seperate firefox search engines for wikipedia, youtube, amazon etc. So, this is just the number for google searches alone.

No wonder that I feel like being hooked into the net ;)

Is it really random ?

Lately, I have become very fond of listening to music in the car. Thanks to Finland's cold climate, the windows are always closed and you dont even hear the engine noise in the new cars, nowadays. Its like sitting in a small music space - full of music, without any knowledge or demarcation of the sources / speakers. Even with the home theatre systems, I have never had this ideal sitting-in-a-space-full-of-music experience. And my car's music system is also very good - so, pretty much I listen to music only in my car nowadays :)

Well, enough background, now let me come to the topic. Yesterday morning, as usual I was starting to office a bit late - a gloomy monday morning and the weather was really lousy. Only motivation going forward is the always-enjoyable music time. Happily inserted one of the mp3 CDs & selected random play, hoping for a real pacy one, among the 150 odd songs, to kick-start my week....gave a good roll to the volume knob in anticipation of a thumpy one....


"AAA-TEQQQQUILA OOO-TEQQQQUILA, HHHHEY SUNDAYYYYYYY !!!!" the song blared out.....
