Three cheers for the Yukon! This is on the Alaskan highway going north from Whitehorse. My aunt repeatedly yelled at me to put the camera down but I just couldn’t, that whole territory is breathtakingly gorgeous.

The song is A Million Years by Alexander. He’s the lead singer from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and Ima Robot. I feel like ‘Alexander’ is one of the most un-google-able artist names out there.

It also doesn’t help that his album is also called ‘Alexander.’ Although, with band names like ‘Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros’ and ‘Ima Robot,’ I can’t help but think that the simplicity was intentional.

Did you know that ‘google’ is a misspelling of googol? A googol is 10100 or 10 duotrigintillion. I read this in a Telegraph article a couple months ago, it had some other intriguing internet facts: Qi: Quite interesting facts about the Internet.

Got to run. Off to do a radio show.
