A Google Homepage


Half intentionally, half not, I've got myself a 'Google Homepage.'  "They (Google?)" make it so easy to do, with so many 'features' that it's just a matter of setting one's mouse on and clicking--that, before I'd half thought of it, I'd amassed a great number of 'features,' about half of which I no more desire on my 'homepage' (or anywhere) than I desire, say, a wife, or bicycle insurance.  But some of the 'features' were so inherently ridiculous and absurd-sounding that I couldn't resist--supposing I could always cancel them once I figured out wotthehell they're in aid of and who-ever would want to be reminded of such things on a daily basis.  Many of these 'features' involve ¡Tunes; some, other things:  

(1)  There is something called 'Good Music,' which is, I gather, supposed to play what are called 'Music Videos' from YouTube; so far, none of its 'selections' has been any longer available.  (2) There is something called 'Free Amazon MP3 Downloads' which displays up to ten of these treasures, sorted by sales rank.  (3) There are 'Free ¡Tunes Downloads'--a huge list thereof, all of which sound perfectly nauseous, and which to hear require the downloading of a player, which I would have to quit Safari and suspend blogging for a moment--so, for the moment, I'll postpone the interesting sortie into what the World is pleased to imagine these days to be 'Music.'  No doubt I could download some Schönberg and Webern while I'm at it.
