I love the modern way …
Google spies on me?
Google knows too much.
Exhibit A: Here is an email to Long
In it, I’m essentially stating that I’m like Charlie Brooker. In his latest article in the Guardian, he essentially points out that you can’t go on vacation if you’re single. It’s true. It’s just the way things are. So in the article, Charlie Brooker complains a bit and says his vacation is staying home and playing Half-Life 2. Replace Half-Life 2 with Mario Strikers and that’s me.
And Google, being omniscient as they are, place a link to a website renting villas in Tobago – Tobago being the Tobago in The Republic of Trinidad & Tobago. Sure I mentioned the word “Vacation” in the email, I get that. But Tobago? I didn’t mention Trinidad or Tobago. So either it’s a lucky coincidence (maybe, hopefully?) or their algorithms are too smart.
Anyways, if you visit that site, you can rent islands. The cheapest island is $2300/night near Belize. If I ever get filthy rich, I’m renting an island. But probably not near Belize.
