Google down?

I come in to work this morning excited to be back from my one-week vacation only to be asked by JazzCat if google was broken for me. I thought he was joking but sure enough I can’t use any google services right now - adwords, adsense, search, etc.

I haven’t seen anybody else talking about it so maybe it is either a regional problem or a Sewell internal problem, but that seems unlikely. More than anything I am realizing how dependent I am on google - I am also learning that direct navigation is pretty fast, I’m not sure why I use google for so many navigational queries.

1. I’ve noticed a slow down in Google Reader, but only that, a slow down. Everything else is still working fine.

2. Yeah, everything is back up and working for our office now. It must have been some internal glitch but I’m not sure how it could have affected all google properties, including independent domains (such as blogger.com) - weird.
