Karin Zimba, a fifth-grader at Albert S. Hall School in Waterville is Maine's finalist for the 'Doodle 4 Google' competition. The 8th annual event is open to U.S. kids in kindergarten through 12th-grade. Karin's older sister, Inga Zimba, was the Maine representative just 2 years ago...

Stop what you're doing right now and go to google.com. Type in "A long time ago in a galaxy far far away" and thank me later!

Using Google to see what words people across the country have to use Google's spell-check for, Vox.com has come up with the most hard-to-spell words, by state. It's purposely timed with the national spelling bee.

It’s a familiar scenario for most people: You haven’t watched the latest episode of Game of Thrones or Mad Men, or you’ve yet to make it to the theater to check out the latest movie your friends have all been gushing over. But social media is an irresistible force, so you hop on Twitter or Facebook anyway, and soon find yourself navigating a minefield. At any given moment, you might read a spoiler. Lucky for you, there may soon be an app for that.

Let's have some fun! This has been going around among some of my Instagram followers and I was tagged to try it. Just type "Your Name, glamour shots" into google and then click images and just see what happens. Feel free to post your favorite at the status update at our facebook page...

I find this kind of thing fascinating. I suspect many of you do as well. But it is a subject too personal for most people to talk about it out loud unless venting to a friend. Please no airing dirty laundry or being dirty here, but sex is an interesting topic. Here is an op-ed from the New York Times.

Estately, a real estate website, recently did some research into what each state is Googling the most. We humans are so amusing.

Congratulations to Inga Zimba, a 5th grader from Albert S. Hall School in Waterville. Google has announced that she is one of the 50 state winners in its seventh annual 'Doodle 4 Google' competition.
