"Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful TO ADVERTISERS AND SHAREHOLDERS"

"Our Philosophy: 10 Things"

1: Focus on the user"S INFORMATION and all else will (We don't 'Follow' here at G, we '+1')

2.It’s best to do one thing really, really well, AND THAT THING ISN"T WEB SEARCH, IT TOTES SOCIAL MEDIA

3: Fast is better than slow." (yeah, they're still fast, can't complain)

4. #4: Democracy on the web works. democracy means 'we tell you what you want, right?

5. You don’t need to be at your desk to need an answer. WE CAN FIND YOU ANYWHERE THANKS TO GPS !

6: You can make money without doing evil... you just can't make it any more while doing good

7.There’s always more information out there. AND WE KNOW YOU"VE BEEN HIDING IT FROM US

8: The need for information crosses all borders, so we'll put our stuff in the hands of national-level domains. China will be good, right?

9: You can be serious without a suit, or any other clothes for that matter if you're hot (since we'll be watching you 24/7)

10. Great just isn't good enough, so we've decided not to be great anymore.

List #396: 2010 Goals revisited and analyzed

List #336: New Year's Resolutions (in rough order of difficulty)

1. Relearn Trumpet and play music more often

--FAIL: December 2009 was the peak of my trumpet renaissance
2. Maintain a healthy diet and workout schedule

--Moderate WIN: workouts were very consistent, diet was okay
3. Create and sustain a worthy successor to "Nic's Year in Lists"

--Moderate FAIL: Nic-ipeda went well for about 3 months, but then dropped off
4. Do more Creative projects (including my big bookbinding plan)

--Moderate FAIL: I never made bound volumes of the original Year-in-Lists, and I didn't really do any major art projects, though I did come up with some cool new guitar riffs
5. Get out of the house (or even my room!) more

--Moderate WIN: I found more places to go play games and started doing that
6. Be more assertive, confident and proactive about my Romantic life (or, rather, ending my lack-thereof)

--Moderate FAIL: some attempts were made, but 0 dates occurred
7. Consider learning to drive in the City

--Moderate FAIL: I did drive into DC once all by myself, and once into Baltimore with a co-pilot, but that's nothing to really be amazed about
