"Google" is now officially a verb, according to the 2006 edition of the Oxford Unabridged Dictionary. The entry is reproduced below so you don't have to enter the word in a search engine thingy to look for it. There's a word for that sort of operation, but forget what it is.
intr. To use the Google search engine to find information on the Internet. trans. To search for information about (a person or thing) using the Google search engine.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
