Helping Google

Using the new Google Co-op Custom Search and my list of poetry bookmarks, I've created a search for poetry on the web. Check out the link at right, and please feel free to test and improve the search by adding your own list of poetry sites.

I'm sure Google will begin using all the custom searches users create to tweak their own general search engine, but why complain, we're all part of the information machine.

In fact, the other day Andy found a published study where scientists successfully caused cells from a rat brain to connect over a computer chip. The resulting animal/machine hybrid then learned to successfully maneuver a jet in multiple conditions using a flight simulator. No joke.
