Niall Kennedy’s blog spoke recently of a rumor regarding Technorati’s sale ‘to a large search company.’ The thought is interesting enough, though not as extraordinary as you might think. The ‘large search company’ would most likely be Google or Yahoo – in that order. Yahoo is certainly trying position itself in the industry as the… Continue reading Technorati to be Assimilated

Yogurt Redemption
You’ll be delighted to know that Dannon, in response to Yogurt, You Deceptive Wench, is losing its plastic lid in favor of what appears to be environmental concerns, though is more likely a cost issue. Okay, so maybe it wasn’t my article that persuaded them. I’m at least happy that I wasn’t the only one… Continue reading Yogurt Redemption
Montezuma’s Revenge
I’m home today with a touch of some digestion pranks my system decided to play on me. It’s a little strange this sort of thing doesn’t happen more often to me than it does. I eat some pretty diverse, and oft raunchy, things. My system is pretty forgiving for all that it’s gone through, really.… Continue reading Montezuma’s Revenge
The North Georgia Celtic Festival
Today we ventured out to the North Georgia Celtic Festival to see the shows. Amy had some real work to do, photographing some of the performers, but Balthazar and I were there just to enjoy the day. This is the fourth annual celebration of Celtic arts, music, and culture hosted by Emerald Rose. We’re good… Continue reading The North Georgia Celtic Festival
Corporate Musical Chairs
Last week, Carlos told me a story that was potentially blog-worthy. I didn’t blog about it because I felt that it needed to have personal frustration associated with it, rather than just his. What he didn’t tell me was that I would undergo the same treatment a few days later. Today, I got my first… Continue reading Corporate Musical Chairs
MadLib Biographies: Longhand
This morning, I opened a letter from my mom – snail mail, not email. It’s unusual to get personal letters when there are no holidays or birthdays in sight, so I was a little apprehensive of this one. As I unfolded the sheets of paper from the envelop, I could see that what I had… Continue reading MadLib Biographies: Longhand
Simple, Instrumented, Bullet-Proof
I had an “all-hands” meeting today at CheckFree in which we discussed our division’s strengths and weaknesses. One of the things I gleaned from this was that there is a desire by upper management for solutions to be simple, instrumented, and bullet-proof when they’re handed off. This rings true in many people’s minds, I think.… Continue reading Simple, Instrumented, Bullet-Proof
The Sneeze – Half zine. Half blog. Half not good with fractions.
“It was time for the white. Wine tasters refer to a wine’s aroma as its ‘nose.’ This wine’s nose was a rectum.” Amy turned me onto thesneeze.com this evening. This site it so perfectly a match for my humor. I quickly browsed the site’s ‘toys’ with my wife with great delight. I’ve now read a… Continue reading The Sneeze – Half zine. Half blog. Half not good with fractions.
Migratory Blog Patterns
I am preparing to move my blog to a WordPress-based system. I’m very comfortable in WordPress, and I’m very comfortable in Blogger.com. I’m very uncomfortable with migrating the site from one to another. I did this a long time ago with pretty good success, but now I have HaloScan comments and TrackBacks to contend with.… Continue reading Migratory Blog Patterns
Yet Another Way to Strike Fear into Evil-Doers
Via Engadget: German robocops to police next World Cup? “…the almost four-foot tall robot uses a thermal camera and sensors to smell the terror in the air and sound an alarm.” If you can get some rubber bullet-firing machine guns mounted to this thing, we’re in business for real crowd control. Mindless riot-squashing robots care… Continue reading Yet Another Way to Strike Fear into Evil-Doers
