This gives a new twist to “Run for the border”.
Random Internet Searches

So I’m searching around the net looking for random things today and I typed the following into a search engine:
“how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?”
and one of the best results I found was the following link:

So here I am, sitting around, chatting with some friends on the net and I’m looking through some old cd’s that I have and what do I find? Die Krupps – a tribute to Metallica. I forgot all about this cd. For those who don’t know it, it’s basically a techno style group covering Metallica songs… very cool and “techy”… it’s even kind of “geeky” (yeah, you know who you are, calling me geeky! butt-head!). Anyway, I’ll rip the cd and post the mp3’s on my site in a day or so for you to check out.
Don’t go to bed angry…

Don’t go to bed angry with the ones you love and care about. If there’s a problem, do your best to work it out before you go to bed. If you’re sorry, say you’re sorry. If you love someone, tell them. If you forgive them, tell them.
Life is to short and you might never get the chance to tell someone you’re sorry, that you love them, care for them or you forgive them. I made this mistake before when my grandfather died this past March and I’m so sorry I did not spend more time with him during his last days. I will not do it again… so with that said… I want to say “I’m sorry, I love you, I care for you, I forgive you.”
This post is meant for my family, friends and loved ones… you know who you are.
The technology behind Google’s great results

As a Google user, you’re familiar with the speed and accuracy of a Google search. How exactly does Google manage to find the right results for every query as quickly as it does? The heart of Google’s search technology is PigeonRank™, a system for ranking web pages developed by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford University.
Building upon the breakthrough work of B. F. Skinner, Page and Brin reasoned that low cost pigeon clusters (PCs) could be used to compute the relative value of web pages faster than human editors or machine-based algorithms. And while Google has dozens of engineers working to improve every aspect of our service on a daily basis, PigeonRank continues to provide the basis for all of our web search tools.
