Operator

I have a secret.  Some of you know this secret, some of you do not.  The secret is this.  I do not actually possess all knowledge.  However, I know who does, and his name is Google.  My pal Brandon has it figured out – I’ve trained him such that when he calls me, he says “Tank, I need an operator” (a reference to The Matrix which might be, nine years on, too obscure).

Here’s how it works.  Someone calls me, says “Hey, do you know X?”  I might respond with “um . . . .” but the truth is, I’m already typing something into a Google search window.  I’d like to think you think that I know, but really, we both know the truth.

I was reminded of all of this tonight when I found this website called Let Me Google That For You, which is pretty helpful.  I’m not sure I’m snarky enough to use it, but its nice to know its there just in case.  Keep calling.  I’m probably the person I know most likely to have access to Google (except for everyone who now seems to have an iPhone), so call away.
