It's no secret that I love Google products. In fact, I recently sent an email that ended with the sentence "Have you accepted the love of Google into your heart?" I opt out of some of their advertising features, but otherwise let them data mine to their heart's content, because they use they data to make some genuinely cool shit. Yes, they will

If it makes you feel any better, they think I'm male, too. They do have my age group correct, but looking at the rest of it, they apparently think I'm a 22-year-old male who is a hopeless shut-in and substitutes games for a social life. ...Admittedly, most of that is true.
