You'll recognize the title of this piece as a line from America the Beautiful. Yet that isn't the America I see on this April morning in 2007. America today, if you believe the media, is divided into Red and Blue states. But if you combine red and blue, you get purple. In my opinion, America needs to be purple again, because as someone once said «united we stand, and divided we fall.»

This morning I downloaded and installed Thunderbird 2.0, which has just gone gold, and I must tell you this excellent open source email client has gotten even better than it was already.
Tom Simpson has tagged me as a part of the «Why do I blog?» meme that is circulating in the blogosphere.
The other day when I was talking about Google Notebook, I mentioned that I searched for help on this new tool but couldn't find any. I don't know whether it has just been added or whether I just discovered it, but now I see it does have a Help section. There is also a Tour that you can take for a good overview of the service.
My son Mike has frequently called me while driving around and asked that I look up some business on Google and give him the location or the phone number. We've jokingly referred to that as his connecting with «Dear-Old-Dad Central» or «the Mother Ship.» However, now such calls are no longer necessary.
No, this isn't a religious post; the title just seemed appropriate to the day on which I'm making it. I'm referring to my own resurrection from not posting here recently. I didn't die, and I wasn't buried. I was just off exploring various things on the net and have been a bit remiss in posting my thoughts about them. So this will be something of a catch up post, covering a number of things that I found interesting lately.
