Google toll-free?

Not sure if this is done by Google, but call 1-877-GOOG-411 to check out Google Local Search thru phone. The interface sucks a little bit though. It doesnt care for your voice until it finishes spitting out all the ten results.

The Right Question

As US crosses the 300 million mark, lots of newspapers ask the question: Can US handle the growing population? May be the right question should be "Can the world handle a growing a population of intense resource guzzlers?". Just to remind myself, I am part of the increasing population.

Update: NY Times has 300 million reasons for hope. :-)
