The Princess & The Wart

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess desired across the land because of her perfection, grace and excellent hygiene.  Her name was Princess Google.

[I know that Google is a princess--beautiful, fun, easy to connect with, entirely frustrating bordering on diva level, and sometimes impassable....but back to the story]

Many the young (and sometimes old) admirer would chase the princess when she came to town.  Crowds lined the street merely to gaze upon the wonderful Princess Google.  I, myself, have carried tales of her loveliness to the corners of the realm and, in some small and large ways, fallen for her charms.

But she was hiding a secret, the blemish that only the most wise across the land has seen...she had a wart, a wart so heinous that should it become common knowledge her beauty would be lessened.  Princess Google is a control freak of "big brother" levels.

Should you dare to cross the Princess' "terms of service", she will disable you in all possible haste.  Beware.

I had believed that Princess Google beyond the fickleness of her evil stepmother Apple or the wicked witch of the east Microsoft, but alas...I was foolish.  This pumpkin driver has returned to his life as a rodent...




On a technical note...I was trying to embed a Prezi into my Google site.  I would recommend not trying this.  Once the mechanics of the APPEAL process goes through, I will update...

Updated 8/12...my site was just "up" and running again...no email or explanation.  Still digging.
