Goatherding

Apparently the goat rental business is taking off in Seattle.

Sickness

Man I hate airplanes. The last two times I've been on a 7-seat-wide plane coming into SFO, I have fallen asleep for a couple hours and woke up sick.

Less annoying is the voices saying "Thank you for choosing Delta!" when in reality I just take the cheapest ticket Kayak can find.

Really they should say "Thank you for not going inordinately out of your way to avoid Delta!"

Liking To Party

I'm going to Bonnaroo for four days, so be forewarned - my normally torrid pace of blogging may slow down noticeably.

While I'm gone, why don't you figure out what muffins, shoes, and unicorns have to do with each other.

"Memex"

A guy who in 1945 predicted wholly new forms of encyclopedias would appear once we had cataloged enough information electronically. With links. Occasionally mentioned as a great grandfather of search.

Marketroid

This is why The Great Hive logo is so good.

Life At Work

99% of my ideas are worthless... I just don't know which 99%.

Le Website d'AJ

If you like checking out mostly empty, newly created websites, The Great Hive is a good one.

Lawyer Battle... Fight!

Jack in the Box is getting sued for this ad for Angus meat slander. I have to say, even knowing the precise truth, it might be hard to think "Mmm, mm, delicious Angus meat!" with this ad in my mind. ;-)

Not that I ever eat at either Jack in the Box or Carl's Jr. anyways.

All Publicity?

An article in the New York Times about the Google search quality group. I am amused to see a mention of the "teak patio" problem which I used to be working on.

I fondly recall the debates over what could and could not be mentioned the day the NYT was sitting in on the launch meeting. ;-)
