Google's New Instant Messaging Program

Up until the end of my freshman year, I used to constantly chat with people online using AIM and MSN Messenger. It seemed that I would look online to see if any of my friends were there so that I could procrastinate my homework longer. Anyway, I gave that up after my mission in Russia. However, today I was looking at Google News and saw that Google just released Google Talk. It is a program that can be used to chat with other people and talk to people using a speaker and microphone. You can download this IM program at www.google.com/talk. Even though I gave up instant messaging years ago, I downloaded it and thought that I would try it out. It's pretty basic right now, but is supposed to evolve into an IM program that also allows you to chat with people who use AIM and MSN Messanger. See if you like it.

Motorola Cell Phone with MP3 player

I found a cell phone with an mp3 player for a reasonable price. It seems that it got pretty good reviews on CNET. Here is the link to Motorola's web site.

This is a pretty cool picture of a plane getting hit by lightning in Osaka, Japan. Nobody got hurt in the plane, surprisingly enough.

Worst Drivers in the Nation

My mom and I always talk about how Utah drivers must be the worst drivers in the nation. Well, a study done by GMAC insurance shows that Utah drivers aren't the worst drivers. They are number 33 out of 50. I guess that's not number 50, but it's low enough to make my worst drivers list.

As a side note, Oregon and Washington rated number 1 and 2, respectively, in the study. I guess that says something about my driving since I'm from Washington.
