Flashes of Panic

For one thing, I noticed last week that Google is now doing Froogle Gift Lists. I haven’t tried them out enough to see how it compares, feature-wise, with The Wish List Project, but I suspect they’ve at least got direct buy-it-now links, and probably a smarter access-control scheme (or utter lack of access control, which might also qualify as a smarter access-control scheme.) One of these days, there will be a commercial-grade gift registry with the features I want, and I won’t have to home-grow my own solutions.

I also discovered in today’s referrer logs that one can now search Google Mac in six fruity primary colors, to go with the penguiny goodness which has long been Google Linux. How does one find these specialized searches? (Apparently, one goes to the Special Google Searches page.)
