WATCHING:
Proposal, The
Anne Fletcher, Director

Another one in a long list of “hey, I have to marry someone – anyone – to get my Green Card” movies.

This one is about as unpredictable as a glacier, and about as fast-moving.

I like both Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock (the stars), but come on.

Scenery was beautiful – allegedly in Sitka, AK. Turns out it was all filmed in New England, so it’s all matte paintings. Super.

Has its moments, but I’ll never rent again.

All movies

When Google Web Elements came out a few months ago, I was on board from Day 1.

There were a few bumps in the road with the Google Maps element (I had to change DocTypes on all my blogs pages so it’d work in IE 7, I believe); however, I like the Google Maps and especially the Google Custom Search widget.

I have the latter embedded on the index page (only, currently) of my blog, and it works brilliantly.

It seems to index my blog entries much more quickly now – my last post was about four hours ago, and it’s already showing up in my site search. And I’m no big deal – it’s the Custom Search that appears to be driving the quick indexing. Interesting.

Update: This post was indexed in less than an hour.
