Googling the quick and the dead

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2016.04.05

Google autocomplete completes a friend's name with the word "obituary"; he'd also cancelled the phone number I had. Naturally, I feared the worst. Especially when my emails to two of his accounts went unanswered even though I was sending him a three-year membership to a professional association.

But I tracked him down through one of his colleagues. He's alive!

You have to choose between trusting to the natural stability of gold and the natural stability of the honesty and intelligence of the members of the Government. And, with due respect for these gentlemen, I advise you, as long as the Capitalist system lasts, to vote for gold.

—George Bernard Shaw
