Well all love The Google. We all use The Google every day in some way. We want more Google. 
That said… nothing is perfect, not even Google.
What bothers you about The Google Empire?
If you could wave your magic wand over Mountain View and fix some stuff for Google, what would you fix and why?
I’ll go first and these fixes focus mainly on Google Apps for Your Domain Premier Edition.
You should feel free to bring up anything Google you wish to fix.
Today Google announced the Premier Edition of their fine Google Apps bundle of programs aimed directly at the heart of Microsoft’s Office suite of applications.
I love Google Apps so much I’m writing a book about it for Thomson Publishing called Google Apps Administrator Guide. We have discussed Google’s plans for World Domination in helping you collaborate on the Internet and the Premier Edition of Google Apps for Your Domain is the next step in working together in new and spectacular ways. Here’s what the new Dashboard looks like:

As often happens here in your favorite Urban Semiotic, yesterday’s article — The Unnecessary Necessary: An Anonymous Stranger — and its comments, creates the inspiration for a second article to expand the ideas we expressed together.
Today I will share with you a story I learned many years ago from my first Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga guruji: The Lesson of the Singing Bowl.
There are few things in life that delight as much as Valentine’s Day.
We can freely express our love for beloveds, animals and all people of the earth.
Today is ours to ponder why hatred and avarice are more common during the year than flowers and hearts.
Today, however, isn’t for wondering where we went wrong.
Today is for celebrating where we are together.
Hug someone.
Kiss everyone.
Celebrate the love inside.
Here are some Semiotic Hearts from me to you and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do in presenting them to you.
Ripping a page from the Google playbook, Microsoft have stepped up to compete with Google Apps for Your Domain by offering you a free Office Live Basics website and communications portal.
Yesterday, I heard a child walking hand-in-hand with his mother squeal, “I love me some sleep!” His mother scooped him up in her arms and he rested his head on her shoulder and fell asleep.
We all appreciate The Art of Power Napping and we try to be cogent during the day to avoid American Somnambulism, but what about our need for deep sleep?
As we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. day in the United States, 
we are faced with the questions of antiquity that have bothered and constrained humankind: Do we still judge people by color?
Do we still prefer violence over getting along with each other and the world?

I wish those in the churches and the mosques and the community living rooms and the religious leaders would stand up to the politicians and say, “Don’t go to war in God’s name.
Don’t ask for our prayers to cover your bloodshed.
Don’t seek our religious protection for your unholy political wars.
Don’t ask for our faith votes in the polling place. Leave religion out of your killing fields.”
That kind of religious rebellion against the politicians would remove the brush cover from political fanatics who pretend they are doing God’s work in the fields of war by killing those who are of darker skin and lesser opportunity than those wielding the staff and the cross.
