Google Books blogs

By way of Dan Cohen's Digitial Humanities blog, two posts on Google -- the first has the pull quote of the season: "being in bed with Google is way better than sleeping alone." The second is on Google and its inconsistent embrace of openness. Incidentally, I want my portable ID now, please. And more than that, I want yours. Reestablishing all my existing links on Facebook is so difficult that I am instead lazily waiting for people to come to me.
