Seconded.

I am thankful that I live in the age of information.  I am thankful that I live in a place where I can take full advantage of the developments of this age; libraries, the internet, relational databases, searches, recommender systems, the digitization or digital creation of materials of all sorts allowing increased access both geographically, temporally, and through new tools for analysis, OCR, and "big data" comparative analysis.  I am thankful that there are brilliant and passionate people fighting for my rights to access and use all this information, in the face of numerous forces pushing against them.  I am thankful that there are brilliant and passionate people fighting to help me control my own information, in the face of numerous forces which have the opposite interest. I am thankful that I have had the opportunity to stay in school and continue to study subjects which interest me, well into adulthood.

On a related note:

The slaughter of turkeys is pretty much a once a year thing:

Ham on the other hand we cook for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.

Cooking in general? Mostly Christmas but also a spike for the 4th of July it seems.

(recipe)

I also think it is interesting how the volume of searches goes up over time.  Google Trends measures a term against the total search volume so that an increase in total users should not cause that rise.  We have just slowly given up on cookbooks, and turned to Google. 

Pardon me, I need to go make a pie crust.  But will I pull out The Joy of Cooking, or my iPad to get the measurements?  Yet to be seen.

Nikolai:
Having Thanksgiving a little late this year, because I'm not quite back Stateside yet, but at least the cooks at this Air Force base know how to cook. Can't really complain about the food, but still looking forward to whatever my wife is cooking up for our late Thanksgiving.

Jace:
Hooray I'm having instant noodles out of a ziploc container for Thanksgiving because I have to work holidays. Oh I also don't get holiday pay either.
