Google seems to have conflicting priorities. On one hand, they appear to be the all-loving benevolent indexers, content to stay in the background, the original idea being that they could figure out natural behavior online and use that behavior to display the most relevant information on any given query.

The Internet Named My Baby
My wife and I are expecting our first February 10th. For a while now, we’ve been pretty settled on a name. Grayson Andrew Nagy. Lately, however, we’ve been debating on the middle name. I like the idea of naming my son after me without creating a Jr., but some youth from our church suggested a fantastic alternative.

And he shall be their peace.

From the weak, the humble, the poor, comes the strength of the LORD. He has chosen the things that are weak not to put to shame the things that are strong, the foolish to put to shame the wise. For those like me, that’s an immense comfort.
