Do no evil, my ass.
I think I will stick with the known shiftiness of FB (whose motto, I believe, is "Feed the Zuckerbeast!")
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

And my FB account isn't associated with my Google account, anyway.

This whole thing makes me want to use fewer of Google's products.

You're not Google's customer. Google's advertisers are their customers. You're Google's product.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ditto Facebook, of course. I do think the different ways they (mis)treat users are interesting, in some kind of corporate-culture-analysis way.

Because books.
Now I'm nervous. My Gmail email account is my only account, really. I'm using the Internet wrong.

It makes me a little sad I chose Blogger and not Wordpress, which is the only thing I have associated with my gmail account that is not a person I know (since I use my Yahoo for all other online activity). My emails are too perfect to want to have to shed either.

Speaking of online corporations, I just opened an Ally checking account with the idea that I'll eventually close my Chase account. Anybody use them that can report on their ATM fee refund system? I refuse to pay ATM fees and have zero interest if there will be any charge associated with (domestic) withdrawals.

Google's applications then, I guess that's the better word for it.
How is this - it makes me want to stop using Gmail, Chrome, Google, Google Docs, and anything else like that I use.
Better?

YES. Crisp days that are cool but sunny, grey days with fog and drizzle, and drifts of fallen leaves to scuffle through. Plus, Halloween.
WANT. I used to think I didn't mind the heat that much, but damn, I am sick of it now. Want fall. And rain, and highs in the 50s, and freshly-picked apples.
And a nap.
