Optimal Title – My Title is Now Optimized

The cause of this chiasmatic title is here:  http://elasticdog.com/2004/09/optimal-title/ All my google indexed blog entries are the same because wordpress puts the tagline first. Great…so every entry looks like this:  site:amarketplaceofideas.com DUM eh ?  Now that has been fixed and can percolate through googles database.  The Google entries will look as follows: PostingTitle | WebSite TagLine However since the Google title of the snippet is short it will cut off the tagline in all but the shortest of titles.

My Demented High School F(r)iends and their Art

 When I was in high school my best friend's little brother and his friend and I hung out also. Both John and Jeff were into the art classes and did various paintings, carvings and drawings. They were demented smokers of the horkachorky. One winterish day John Ady Whitehouse and I were out on a snowy road in Ohio and he started digging in the area just off the road. After a bit he really started to look like a dog with all the debri shooting between his legs just the same way it appears when a dog vigorously digs a hole.  He found Read more…

Operation Big Flush – The Things You Keep – Remnants of the Past

I’m currently executing Operation Big Flush.  I need to be out of the condo I rent by the end of July and I have accumulated alot of stuff over the years.  I want to be light an mobile. Thus I made the first step to sell off anything I can that is not necessary or does not have sentimental value.  After reviewing even stuff I used to think had sentimental value doesn’t really in most cases. Thus I find myself digging in drawers, (not underpants ….drawers ) and tossing a bunch of stuff.   In among all the flotsam and toe Read more…

The Tattoo I should get on the Back of My Head

I’ve always been curious.  Curious to the point of putting off everything in my life to feed my insatiable curiosity. I was on the way to a friends house when I saw a guy riding a chopper like bicycle. I turned about and went back to get a look at this guys creation.  It was chopper-fied “Hardly-Davidson”.  The guy had tattos all over, his face included.  It was Skitch of theladyluck.net tattoo parlor.   He let me get in my looky lou’s.  It was powered by a pocket bike motor.   Later as I was driving home I thought for a bit about getting Read more…

The Sordid Story of Alligator Fudge

  This alligator is nut free Since I have not found the term via Google anywhere on the internet I feel compelled to impart this legendary story onwards to the suceeding generations. Some friends by the name of Dana Henderson and John Holman used to love to perpetrate the following joke.  Dana would crap into a brown paper bag then offer it as "Alligator Fudge" to people.  If you were unlucky enough to take the bag and open it you would be hit with a malodorous wiff of fudge.

Man Made Global Warming is the Equivalent to the Y2K Bug Issue

Remember the buildup to Y2K ?  The Year 2000 or Millennium Bug, generally referred to as Y2K, was seen as the biggest boon to software sales in the history of computing by the software companies.  In their heart of hearts, every software vendor wanted to use this crisis to sell all new software to every possible customer.  And indeed the media stampeded. The year 2000 came and went.  Nothing happened.   If you ask one of the hucksters of Y2K maybe they will tell you its because of all that good software they sold us.  But really? Its obvious it was a wildly overblown issue. Compare Read more…

FartMaster 2000 Reprised

This page is a tribute to a good friends first visual basic application in the mid 1990's.  At the time I had a copy of VB5 and had a total mind block as to how it worked.  You see I was accustomed to old style coding.  Windows uses a type of coding that is "event driven".  Often when I have a mental block such as this I go to this friend and many times he breezily picks up the stuff.  At that point I usually go aha! THAT'S what they mean and through monkey see monkey do I go on my Read more…
