Google’s App For Cubicle Masochists: My Daily Hawaii
October 5th, 2009 9:24 AM | by Steve Anderson | 1 Comment
Sometimes you want nothing more out of life than to be able to step through your computer monitor and go live on that magnificent stretch of beach pictured on your desktop. Google has sensed your plight, o cubicle dwellers, and offered up something to make it worse: a Google gadget called My Daily Hawaii.
My Daily Hawaii not only shows incredible beaches, but also offers up Hawaii trivia, history, travel tips and more. If you actually answer the Hawaii trivia right, though, you win a “super cute puppy picture prize”, which actually makes some sense.
Admittedly, if you live in, say, a cold Northern climate, you may well consider My Daily Hawaii to be a huge dose of masochistic glee, but for those of us who just like to look at a sunny beach as a quick pick-me-up in the cold black depths of winter, then this is a great piece for us.

Thank you for the review Steve. I hope the gadget provides at least a tiny reprieve. At least take some comfort in knowing that Hawaii waits for us with infinite patience, until that day arrives once more, when it can cradle us in it’s tepid waters.
