Burton Speaks

Irony: i·ro·ny n The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.

I'm Burton from Portland, Oregon, United States. I'm 33 and live in the Portland Metro Area. I work hard. I drive fast. I play often. I'm sarcastic, appreciate irony, and find humor in even the darkest of events. I'm non-traditional. I question authority. I'm a know-it-all and a planner. And most days, I wake up thinking the world is full of fundamentally good people... and have a lot of problems when I'm proven wrong. Any other questions?

Google's making history

Monday, February 27, 2006

I ran across this post over on the "Official Google Blog" which describes how Google is digitizing the National Archives and making it available for viewing and accessing.

How freakin' awesome is this? This is what the internet is about. I mean, beside the transfer of porn, the internet is a great medium for the transmission of information and knowledge. This is the digital content we've all been dreaming about since the inception of this crazy thing we use!

This is a genuine "Good Thing(tm)".
