Happy Persian New Year, Sal-e noe mobarak! I set my 7-seen table finally this morning. I want everyone to notice my happy mug which contains some wheat cat grass. The one I try to make from lentil, didn't turn out very well since I remembered to start doing it 10 days ago. The weather today was surprisingly amazing. I received some chocolate as eidi (which was a nice surprise too and from someone whom I was trying to be mad at), played squashed with some friends, then went swimming.

I did not used Google Reader myself, but from this article it seems that one could develop a rather personal relationship to it. The sudden inactivation by Google should also warn me that maybe they do the same one day with blogger. Maybe we should all prepare local back-ups of our digital contents, ideally on paper or, even better, on clay-plates with cuneiform letters.
In general, I am always impressed by all the innovations that come from Google. But after a while you can see that innovations which don't produce income for them (i.e. which are low on Google ads, like Reader or iGoogle, are suddenly discontinued. I hope you'll find a replacement for Reader. iGoogle, which I was using since years as a browser start page, will also finish operation in November this year. Their suggested remedy for iGoogle user was to switch altogether to the Google Chrome browser (or in the near future to the Google OS), since they have similar features.
best greetings

Happy Norooz, good luck for you and hope for a happy, free and prosperous Iran.

Happy Spring to you! :))
