thesis reviewed

i spent some time yesterday and today reviewing my work so far. the result: i'm happy with my chapter on weblogs. i'd say it's 90% done, which is good enough for the time being. the chapter on political weblogs and their role in elections is just beginning to take shape really - i'd say it's headed in the right direction. so: i can continue work as planned, which means page 60 by sunday.

for all those who missed it: google turned seven today. happy birthday google!

-update-
oh, and just a small quote from google:

In September 1998, Google Inc. opened its door in Menlo Park, California. The door came with a remote control, as it was attached to the garage of a friend who sublet space to the new corporation's staff of three. The office offered several big advantages, including a washer and dryer and a hot tub.

...you gotta love 'em!
