So I'm working along and come upon a minor little computing issue, the details of which are not important. Though minor, it ground my work to a standstill until I could resolve it.
I typed 4 words into Google, clicked the second link, and had the answer in seconds. Though the fix was very sensible in hindsight, it would have taken me a while to figure it out.
In an unrelated matter, I've been reading articles on JSTOR tonight from the comfort of my basement office. A few years ago, such research would have required a trip to the journal stacks and potentially a visit to the interlibrary loan office. Though I still visit the brick-and-mortar library quite often (I love university libraries), it is nice to have the option late on cold winter nights.
