To Infinity, And Beyond!

Hey World! The class prior to the writing of this post contained an appearance from none other than Chris Nolan. It was during said class that Mr. Nolan explained to us the many intricacies and nuances of internet search engines ranging from the ever popular Google to the more arcane: Infomine. It was actually a very useful sessions seeing as the ability to locate and judge the quality of information is very pertinent to one's ability to do well in college. The most bizarre piece of information bestowed upon us by Mr. Nolan must be the way in which Google lists sources in priority this being, by listing the most pertinent as those most linked too as opposed to other search engines. This was and remains a brilliant idea by the people who created Google. That was certianly the most interesting new fact that I learned. I was surprised by the fact that Google was such an ubiquitous search engine when compared to other more obscure ones. I knew of course of how popular but even I was surprised by just how much more popular it was than the competition.
Well, until my next ordained thoughts, live long and tip your waiters.
