No two snowflakes are exactly alike

well, so hey say... It might be neat to see what the images search of google say about that.

Images search for snow flakes and snowflakes.

Since we dont see snow here maybe this would be of interest for some.

As part of our ongoing effort to connect people to information about the world -- or perhaps le monde, die welt, el mundo -- around them, I'm pleased to tell you about the addition of a new team to Google. Today we acquired Endoxon, an Internet mapping solutions company based in Lucerne, Switzerland.The Endoxon team has demonstrated passion and innovation in online mapping and has developed compelling technology that will enhance our Google geo products worldwide. We're also excited about having a dedicated team in Europe that can bring a distinctively European focus to our Maps products in those markets.

It is neat to watch things grow

In life we aught to teach the young to observe things grow. Remember the soaking of the beans, some wet cotton and the bottle. Leave it in a dark spot, and see life growing, from the beans.
First the soaking, the splitting, then out comes the root, then only the leaves. Grow. Grow and Grow.

Observing it leads us tp appreciating it better.

It is the same about other many things around us.

I was fascinated about altavista search engine when I first found it. My fascination moves to google later on.

But watching google grow is much more fascinating. I think it is the google philosophy that makes it such.

Maybe, I should start sharing the little things I know what google had grown into.

Today is 9 Dzullhijjah

And today, is wukuf day in Arafah. Woke up early, called my two teenage sons, and woke up the rest of the household. Told them that today is Wukuf in Arafah. Today is a good day to fast. Good day indeed. It relieves us of our sins that we did in the last two years and the next two consequitive years. Dont you want that if you knew it?

Went to the surau for subuh prayers with the two boys. The other boy was over at his cousin's house for the night. Inshallah we all will fast today.
