Not as much with the features (which by the way are just enough for your daily crop-resize-remove red eye needs) but the looks of it!

After driving approximately 1,014 miles over this Memorial Day weekend, I’m finally back home from Chapel Hill. Had a blast visiting my sister together with my wife and daughter. My older sister and uncle also tagged along to supposedly help out with the driving. Went to sleep at 1am on Thursday and got up at 4am!!! Managed to get there by 3pm and was completely overwhelmed by a feeling of peace.

So, if you would, would you just walk us through a typical day for you? PETER Yeah. BOB SLYDELL Great. PETER Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late. I use the side door, that way Lumbergh can’t see me.

Saw this today… Google has added a portal-like (www.google.com/ig) page. Seems very simplistic yet contains just enough info… Will set it as my home page from now on.
