Haha.. The Gog.Si is the best. I was listening to a podcast with Leo Laporte, I think it was Net@night? I don’t remember but this is really great i’m totally going to be using it for my friends who ask stupid questions when you just google it!

By the way.. I was trying to access this site and it timed out 5 times.. Must be there was high traffic at that time? I just figured I would let you know, thats all :)

Great post!
