I sure do. Or at least I have them at work. As the summer progresses, I'm always amazed at how these elephant ears grow so large from nothing each year. I've always meant to get a photo before Fall hits them. Took advantage of lunching out with a couple of iPhoners. I stood among the ears to give a sense or proportion.

Gotta like fizzy bubbles in space.

Three 10 minute videos tell the story of a school project from the 70's that was found in a used record store decades later.

I use iGoogle.com as my home page. (Used to use my.yahoo.com.) You can customize the home page to track news, weather, stocks, etc. I added a Google Trends gadget after the Sarah Palin announcement. This little gadget often beats news announcements because it reflects the current "buzz" so quickly.

Just spotted #10 on today's trend list. Mom's oldest brother is "spicy".

If you are ever curious to what the world is looking for on any given day, go visit Google Trends where you can see the top 100 search topics.

With the VP announcement yesterday, almost a quarter of those 100 topics were related to Sarah Palin. Her Google "hotness rating" quickly hit Volcanic.

Today (Saturday of Labor Day weekend) she was quickly pushed to the back of the bus. The hottest topics of the day are "notre dame schedule", "penn state schedule", "georgia bulldog schedule" and the like.

As fascinating as this election has been this summer, America is moving on to something more serious for Fall: College Football.
