I was surprised at Google's new background image options, when I logged in, this morning. They're offering some great ones from artists like Jeff Koons, Dale Chihuly, and Polly Apfulbaum (I chose one of hers). I wonder if the groovy logo incarnations that we've all grown to love will work even with a background image chosen? I mean, I love iGoogle but keep my homepage set to the main Google page just so I'll know if it's Marie Curie's birthday - anyone know?
On another note, have you read this article in the NYTimes Tech section? We all know that technology is becoming a necessity to life, but scientists are saying that it's actually affecting our mental acuity:
""The technology is rewiring our brains," said Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute of Drug Abuse and one of the world's leading brain scientists. She and other researchers compare the lure of digital stimulation less to that of drugs and alcohol than to food and sex, which are essential but counterproductive in excess."
