I'm fed up with Spam.
I'm moving to some new digs, over at
http://redstatechief.wordpress.com/
I will slowly close down all the comments here, as the spammers find 'em.
At some point, I may move my archives over there.
...or maybe not.
A new day is dawning, y'all.
I hesitated, because every time I've moved, I've lost readers.
Well, I think I'm only down to 3-5 now, anyway. If I can't get you few to make the transition, I'm better off not worrying about blogging anymore.
See you on the new site! And there, I promise: no comments lost to manual spam killing!!

I finally got an Instalanche.
Unfortunately, not on this site.
I had to go "incognito" (sort of) and post on Car Lust to get this, but it did finally happen.
Woot!

Just What Kind of Blogger Am I, Anyway?
«
Blogging
»
To tell the truth, I hate blogging about politics.
I am very passionate about my political beliefs, but Ive gotten to the point that I hate blogging about it. I recognize that when I put what I believe down on trons (cant say down on paper, right?) that I am alienating anyone who doesnt agree with me. Some of my favorite people are either slightly or strongly in opposition to my political views.
Aside from all that, I seem to get the most attention from the rest of the blogosphere when I write about other things than politics.
So why do I do it?
Well, sometimes I feel like Im being unfair to my regular readers when I dont post. As hard as it is to fathom, some people actually like to read what Ive written. If I dont post, people start worrying about me and stuff. And theres nothing worse than not getting your free ice cream, right?
But there are a few things that appear to be coming together. The Chiefs are looking like they will be very, very interesting this year, if not very good (although Im convinced they may surprise some people). So Ill have quite a bit to write about there.
My involvement with Car Lust Blog also has me thinking (and therefore, writing) more and more about cars.
I have lots and lots of guitar stuff to write aboutIve been considering starting a regular Guitar Lust feature (modeled after the Car Lust), and have started assembling lots of pictures for that. I was daunted by the idea of running out of guitars to talk about, and that too many were just: Well, Ive never played one and probably never will, but its *pretty*. But you know what? Screw it. Im going to start doing one Guitar Lust each week.
So this fall I think should be a fruitful time for this blog.
Hopefully, Ill be able to avoid the politics that polarize.
right after I post another political post, of course.

As much as your guitar posts make my girly bits all tingly, I really like your political posts. Just as with David, you and I couldn't be on further ends of the spectrum, but that's why I like you.
I know my opinion, and I don't need to read someone reiterating it for me. I'd much rather read a well, written, poised opposing view any day. It gives me something to think about, you know? I am all about hearing the other side of the argument.
Long comment to say this: Don't shy away from politics, especially now. Some of us are waiting for it.

I too tend to be very careful with politics and religion, lest I invite a whole bunch of hate-comments. And I'm one who would rather get along and agree to disagree than get nasty and confrontational. I tend to take such things personally. As far as you go, we seem to pretty much share common beliefs, but sometimes you bring a perspective that I'm not familiar with into the discussion, and that's what makes it interesting. Or something I'm totally in tune with so I can say "Cool! I'm not the only one that feels this way!" So keep on with whatever posts make you happy. The family stuff is good to hear too, even though I know things are a bit dicey now. Good news is always good.

Work has been busy, and I haven't had as much time to post as I've been slowly working things out with my wife.
I also mentioned having some other projects going on.
This is one of them. Enjoy!
I only have one official article. They weren't able to link the 3-4 articles I did as a guest, but you can search through the archives for them.
But don't bother; they are all posted on this blog under "car issues".

Attacks on the Blog, and Comments
«
Blogging
»
I'm dealing with a particularly virulent attack of nasty comments.
Movable Type isn't that good at blocking stuff.
Which means I do a search multiple times per day for this crap, and mass delete.
But going by the blacklist usually doesn't work, because it's too easy for them to come up with new stuff that doesn't match the blacklist. So I just search for everything, and then don't check the real comments.
Unfortunately, that method isn't perfect.
I've already accidentally deleted one comment from Mr. Lady, and one from myself. Maybe one from Diamond Dave, too...
So if your comment gets deleted, don't be offended, just repost it. Cursing me out in the new comment is optional, but accepted.

Hi, reader(s)!
Diamond Dave, thanks for checking up on me.
I'm okay, everything's fine.
I've got a number of projects I'm working on in other venues, and there's no real news about the Chiefs right now, and I'm moving away from socio-political commentary.
I'm also trying to put more effort into work and my family.
Not much time left for blogging.
But I'm okay, and there will be sporadic blogging when I find a consistent time to do little things that amuse only myself.
Please, no double entendre comments on that, k? Thanks.

Glad to hear you're still around, even if you aren't blogging. Hope things are going better on the home front.

I now have a page-rank of 5. Which means that I'm now getting 100+ hits a day, and 90 of them are from Google Searches.
Is there any way I can make financial use of this page rank? Is "5" nothing worth sneezing at, or nothing worth crowing about?

If there is a way to make money, I don't know what it is.

It's gotta be done.
I'm sorry, but I think putting a pit bull in art is probably a violation of most cruelty to animal statues.
Unless it is a mis-spelling of "put bull in art", because I think there is already enough bullS*** in modern art that there's a sort of grandfather clause on putting actuall bulls in art nowadays.
This has been a public service announcement from Brain Fertilizer's Trolling for Traffic department.

Back when I was a semi-important blogger (people actually read and even occasionally linked this site), I reacted to a minor kerfuffle about Google not doing an Easter logo design for 2005. For some reason, it scratched people's itch or something...or maybe seeing "Brain Fertilizer" with something closely related to what they were searching for sparked interest enough for people to click through...dunno, but I'm #4 on the Google search for the topic. And that means every Easter I get mega-traffic. This year blows the previous years out of the water: I already have more than 200...but I'm sure it won't translate into any sustainable traffic.
Snapshot of the last 100 hits of my traffic in the extended entry.

I'd like to know what has happened recently in the news to make the term "pit bull in artwork" give me about 300 hits in the past week. It's that exact term, almost like a google-bomb or something.
I can't pretend to figure it out!

I enjoyed the Russian immensely. We had a real knuckle cracker for a teacher ~ expertly rendered cyrillic being his particular bailiwick. (7th graders can barely print in English.)

The things i have often told people is that while looking for a good internet electronics shop, there are a few elements that you have to take into account. First and foremost, you would like to make sure to look for a reputable and in addition, reliable store that has picked up great opinions and scores from other buyers and market sector professionals. This will ensure that you are handling a well-known store providing you with good service and assistance to it's patrons. Thanks for sharing your opinions on this blog.

One can add two RAM boards of 1GB each, by way of example, but not certainly one of 1GB and one with 2GB. One should always check the company's documentation for own PC to be sure what type of memory it can take.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

First, I'm assuming you have a way to upload the file to your mu.nu account or some other webhost.
What I do is simply add a hyperlink to the file.
Users can either play the mp3 in their browser, or save the link to copy it to their own computer.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

Thanks for the helpful content. It is also my belief that mesothelioma has an very long latency phase, which means that signs and symptoms of the disease might not exactly emerge until finally 30 to 50 years after the initial exposure to asbestos fiber. Pleural mesothelioma, which can be the most common style and impacts the area about the lungs, will cause shortness of breath, torso pains, and a persistent cough, which may result in coughing up bloodstream.

Some home remedies you could do are putting warm water on a wash cloth to open your pores and then wash with a cleanser like Clearasil, Neutrogena, Clean and Clear, etc. and then after you clean it. . . splash cold water on your face to close the pores and keep the dirt out!Also, Laying out in the sun or tanning beds can help a lot with making your face look cleaner!

Brainfertilizer Sings!
Followed by Bandfertilizer (Brainfertilizer the Band is already taken by a German band...).
Within about a week I'll start posting mp3 files of me singing classical art songs. Probably followed by some solo jazz guitar, some original guitar/song compositions, a blues piece (if I can come up with decent lyrics), and some Chinese songs in which I insert myself singing a harmony line. Maybe some midi-based karaoke? We'll see.
I will add a tip-jar to provide a tangible way to express thanks. I will also make CDs available for purchase. I am open to suggestions/requests, although I make no guarantees...

This silly article on (left-leaning) Slate on blog names seems to dis pretty much only conservative-leaving sites, and praise left-leaning sites.
For instance, their multiple editorial layers couldn't correct "conservative christen" ?!?! Not to mention that both of the sites he cited as "conservative christen" have never seemed to focus on faith at all, except perhaps as a tangent (criticizing the intersection between Islam and Terror, at least with the Jawa Report).
It just seems like he found some conservative-leaning sites he didn't like and looked for an excuse to slam them.
Still, like the title says, his links will still drive traffic. It's just, do you really think anyone coming over from Slate will listen to good, conservative sense?
Me, either.

Sitemeter Hijinks Never Mind
«
Blogging
»
Hey, ya'll!
If you use Sitemeter, did you have it stop working at some point yesterday afternoon?
Mine did. It just didn't appear on my website. I went to the site to log in, and zero hits recorded.
Something in all this made me feel like there was just a glitch, not that Sitemeter was actually down. So this morning I repasted the code somewhere else on my page. No help.
So I went into management to recopy the Sitemeter Code. When I pasted it into the site template, it was quite a bit longer than the original! When I deleted the original and reloaded the indexes, lo and behold! Sitemeter appeared on my site again.
So it would appear they changed the basic code without notifying me. If they did the same to you, well, that's what you need to do to fix it.
Update: something is up, but I'm not sure what.
The Sitemeter code for MT just doesn't work. It seems to have something to do with the server update that they said would only take a few minutes and wouldn't lose any hits. Well, mine has lost about 50 hits since yesterday. I can only fix the problem by no longer using their suggested method for MT, i.e., having a separate Sitemeter template. I just put the code directly into the sidebar now. That seems to work.

Seriously.
Ethanol fuel for cars sounds nice, but there are significant problems with it as a motor fuel. Biomass waste doesn't give enough energy, only foodstuff biomass, and then you are switching cropland from growing food to growing fuel. It doesn't make sense economically or ecologically.
That's why I like the functional electric car (i.e., what Tesla Motors is developing). No sacrifice in driving pleasure, AND it provides more distance per penny than other propulsion methods. Hydrogen can't replace energy use, it just uses a different medium to deliver energy that still needs fossil or hydro fuels to produce (since the Greens won't allow nuclear), and since it is a medium, rather than a direct transfer, you lose energy in the transactions. An electric car wastes less energy by being a direct electric transfer. Not to mention I could have solar cells on the roof of my garage and house, further reducing the cost/carbon footprint/energy waste/use of the Tesla cars.
Also, the projected Honda Accord diesel is expected to be a fuel-sipper, and ultra-clean to boot. I expect bio-diesel could be in the works for regular diesel cars in another decade, making ultra-efficient, ultra-clean diesels a better choice than ethanol OR hydrogen cell OR hybrid.
Why do US carmakers miss the boat on these sort of issues so often?

Summing Up The Search Strings
«
Blogging
»
For the record:
Yes, Caillou is a whiny brat. We hates him, my precious! So do many other people, according to the search strings that lead people here.
I've still never yet seen the Mentos bird commercial, but it must be pretty good since so many people come to my site looking for information about it. That started because I made a parody of a Mentos commercial, and once people started clicking on my site, hoping to see something about the bird, my page rank for that search rose. Then I started talking about people coming to my site looking for the Mentos bird commercial, and it just got worse.
Yes, there are pictures of the Bush twins in my archives. You've got to look for 'em though, cuz I'm not giving 'em to you that easy.
Nilou Motamed is still very beautiful.
The Zeta is still not the answer, and GM is still in trouble, and I still really don't like the Chevy Malibu that much. [shrug] Sorry, GM fans.
And, of course, there are NO naked pictures of Britney Spears, Mary Kate and Ashley, Linda Carter, Erin Gray, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Nilou Motamed, Katie Couric, Nancy Pelosi, either of the Bush twins, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Susan Estrich, any of the Feministe or Feministing wymyn, Tom Cruise, the '92 Rhein Fire starting backfield, the Congressional Taiwan Caucus, Pokeman Gold, or Madonna anywhere on this site. I'm remaining non-committal about Strom Thurmond and/or Jessica Cutler, though.
And Glenn Reynolds hates Nutter Butters. That's the honest truth, to the best of my knowledge.
Oh, and George Lucas ruined the Star Wars series, the cad.

Google: Still No Easter Logo
«
Blogging
»
Alternate title: "why no google easter art" ?
I'm getting a good number of hits on searches leading people to my 2005 post regarding Google yet again having no special logo for Easter.
So there is a great deal of interest, and perhaps a way to boost hits by readdressing that issue.
If you poke around Google webpage, you should notice that there is no consistency in which 'holidays' they do logos for. They've done a special logo for Braille's birthday. They don't do logos for the lunar new year every year, despite that likely being the biggest holiday (based on numbers of participants) in the world. It seems like their artists have the freedom to do whatever they have an idea for. How many different things are there to do for Easter? Don't you think they get complaints for secularizing Easter (customer: this is the celebration of Our Lord's Resurrection! And you do a cute bunny?!??), and likewise would get complaints for doing religious themes? Imagine the furor from both the atheists and the extremely conservative religious if the two "O"s were changed into the cave mouth and the covering stone rolled away...
Easter is not a national holiday; in many places it is not a state holiday. It is a holiday in each person's heart, and I'm not concerned about what Google does or doesn't do with it.
...now, if they started doing regular Wiccan and Muslim holidays (both being more politically correct than the Judeo-Christian tradition) while still ignoring Christianity, then you might see me getting more upset.
But under the current circumstances? No.

This blog was idle for far too long, and it looks like there are some errors in the code or something making things look really screwy.
The blog is due a facelift, and will be done soon.
Also, in my time off, I've moderated many of my views, particularly socio-political views. I hereby retract my arguments against the people opposing Intelligent Design, so ignore those posts. I'm going to leave 'em up because I don't believe in hiding my embarassments. Anything else you want me to retract? Let me know and I'll consider it. You would probably have a high rate of success with such requests.
So if you are stopping by here, you'll still get insight and analysis, but much less of the combativeness and touchiness when you criticize my opinions.
Fair enough? I still hope to make this an enjoyable place to visit.
I'm going to focus more on the Kansas City Chiefs, leadership, writing, and music. I'll have some original mp3s of my guitar playing, and midis of my compositions up eventually. Hopefully soon. More pictures, too, I think. We'll see.

«

The last post was a good enough epitaph; Brain Fertilizer is over now.
Who knows, maybe 6 months later I will want to blog about news, events, or politics. But for now, I'm switching to Musings and writing about the Chiefs. It may not appeal to many of you, but it's what I'm doing. There will be plenty of non-Chiefs' stuff, too, as I discuss parenting, leadership, spirituality, or other aspects of life. There may even be a pun or two, who knows?
But it's a new direction.
So the new place is now Chiefly Musing. Brain Fertilizer has become the "Chief Muser." Please adjust your blogrolls accordingly, although emails will be sent out soon.
Thanks for a great time, people!

Get Ready for the New Blog (UPDATED)
«
Blogging
»
I'm switching to a new blog soon. I have a post up already. I haven't started tweaking the appearance yet, although I have begun to personalize the functionality.
If you want, stop by and leave comments, suggestions, helpful hints, etc.
It may take me awhile to get it all set up. I'm not sure when I'll start posting there full time, but it will be soon.http://chieflymusing.com/
UPDATE: Link fixed. Thanks.

Sorry about that. I didn't actually put the link in. It was late when I wrote that; that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Anyway, fixed now. Now y'all can go take a peek.
The style is going to change, eventually.

"Trite and Useless Crap" is probably most apt. If you lack that category, ummm, dunno. Probably "Misc Blogs".

I've been thinking about it all lots...I've made a few false starts already.
The last abortive (pun intended) post showed me something, and kind of put the final nail in the coffin.
I'm not going to quit blogging. But I'm a little sick of "Brain Fertilizer". It's my brand, and so I can't really share it...but I don't really like the direction it's gone.
I don't like fights anymore. I find myself avoiding them more and more. I still have the same conclusions that led to fights...but I don't think people are interested in my conclusions.
One of the changes in the blogosphere lately is the "professionalization" (if you will) of the news/event commentary. I don't have the time to do that anymore, and don't have the inclination to compete against those who do. Call them "Semi-pros". I'm not one.
But people like my writing about the Chiefs. Cool. More of that coming up, yo. If I can write this much in the off-season, I should have plenty to write about during training camp, and even more during the season. I'm going to try to do a post a day once the season starts...'cept that I'll be out of the country until the middle of September.
One thing I can still do, though, is observe humanity, consider/think, and share with you what I learn. There are lots of anecdotes, ideas, interesting points. I've got kids growing up that will provide good stories. I can talk well about faith, leadership, parenting, love, friendship, optimism...so I'm going to spend more time talking about stuff like that.
But I also want to have my own domain. Part of that is to get away from the restrictions (whether real or imagined) of "Brain Fertilizer". I've promised before that Brain Fertilizer will never have a tip jar, and now I want to change that. I want to have my own console, and be totally in charge of every aspect, for good or ill. I want to change the format, the appearance, everything.
And yet, I want to have my cake and eat it, too. I don't really want to leave mu.nu, for probably obvious reasons. I don't want to leave this location, because bunches of people have linked me here. I'll have to talk to Pixy Misa about what is possible. But I gotta tell you, the changes I want are profound, and if Pixy Misa is unable to accomodate my hopes, I will move on. Not because mu.nu isn't awesome, not because Pixy Misa isn't flexible and helpful (he is, and amazingly so, and patient and generous as well), but because I to re-energize my enthusiasm for blogging, and this is a case where it may be all or nothing. I want to be excited again, and having a place totally my own may be the necessary step...
More soon.

I am getting ready to head that direction myself: my own domain and professionally designed site (by someone who donates 100% of the cost to charity).

I've lost about a third of my normal traffic over the last two weeks. Two weeks ago, my lowest weekly total was 250 hits, on a Saturday. This week, however, my highest peak was somewhat less than 250, and yesterday was barely 225.
...and yet, I'm actually pleased. Why, you may ask?
(waiting)
Well, I'm going to tell you anyway.
Over the last 2-3 months, more than 1/3 of my hits were for variations of searches on "Mentos Bird Commercial". More than half my hits were from search engine hits of any type. And on any given day, I could boost my traffic by 20-50 hits just by linking the GM blog. So although I could boast* of averaging 300 unique visits/day, I realized that less than half of it was from people coming back to see me because of what I wrote. Hence, some of the petulant whining and snarky self-deprecation.
But now, the bulk of my hits are from links coming in from other sites, and "blocked referrers", which to me means someone who has me bookmarked, or perhaps browsing anonymously but still coming to Brain Fertilizer deliberately. Which is good.
I wasn't going to stop blogging in any case, but having more of what I consider "solid" hits certainly helps make blogging more satisfying.

I finally got the new blogroll category up:
The Association of Former Military Linguist Bloggers
But since I took so long to overcome my apathy, I've forgotten who originally responded. If you should be in that blogroll, let me know. And if someone wants to come up with a logo for it, let me know. Let me know if you want your MOS/AFSC and language listed, too.

That number is subject to adjustment downward as my traffic/linkage plummets.

Call me Mr. Obvious, but I think that little photograph over to the right that says "MILBLOGS: Free Speech from those who make it possible", gave it away for me.

It's cool when the Sitemeter referral log lets you know you are on someone's blogroll. It's even cooler when your perusal of this "new to you" site includes a nice little Greatest Hits summation of some thoughtful opinions.
I also like his term: "Hand-Wringers of America", and enjoyed this article about meeting protestors with shredders.

Need help changing the look of the address in the
address bar. Does anyone know the HTML code to do
this?

What do you mean "change the address"? From a technical standpoint, I'm not clear on what you mean. Examples of what it is now and what you want it to be?
posted by
Sharp as a Marble on June 16, 2005 10:25 AM
Nathan did me a favor by posting this...
Currently, I have a long tangle of web address. I would like it to read in the addy bar as a domain I have purchased. Currently, that domain name merely "redirects", but the looooong web page address is still there.
so, instead of reading:
www.website.com~index/photos/newphotos.php
I would just want it to read www.jossite.com
Does that make sense? (I often don't make sense).
posted by
Jo on June 16, 2005 10:45 AM
Unless you can change the nameserver info for the domain name that you purchased and register the new domain name on the server that is hosting your site, I don't think that you can do it.
That is, if it's something like my free service provider (Comcast) Web space, I can't change the domain name. I could put up pages and serve them into a frameset where I host the actual domain name, but that doesn't really make more sense than putting all the stuff on the shared (non-free) server space.
Did that make sense?
posted by
zombyboy on June 16, 2005 05:51 PM
ZB-
It is registered to my nameserver (@ hosting matters) but I have it "redirecting". What else do I do?
Thank you in advance :)
posted by
Jo on June 17, 2005 07:49 AM
That's what I mean--a redirect that sends you to another server just sends you to another URL. It has to be registered on the same server that it's being hosted on.
Here's how it works (sort of):
User asks for http://a.com
The request goes to their DNS servers and, ultimately, the request is routed to hosting matters where the query is sent to the correct server.
That server redirects to your other domain name (http://b.com/) which starts the request all over again.
The result is that people end up at http://b.com, not a disguised version of http://a.com.
To fix this, you have to change the name servers in the records for your domain name to point to the people hosting http://b.com. But that won't do any good until they have registered the domain name in their name servers (I was probably over-simplifying earlier) so that requests are routed correctly.
So, to get resurrectionsong.com to go to another place, I have to go through these steps:
1. Set up the account on another site to host resurrectionsong.com. This might be a new account or an add on account in shared server space, but it has to be registered with that hosting company so that their name servers know what to do with requests.
2. Go into wherever I purchased the domain name and change the reference for the name servers to the new IP addresses supplied by the other hosting company. This isn't a redirect, it's an actual change in address.
3. Wait for the changes to propogate.

These Aren't the Stories You Are Looking For
«
Blogging
»
I really hate it when I see a headline that looks like it might lead to an article worth linking and discussing to lend support to a point I want to make, but then it turns out to be less-than useful.
In the first case, HIV alert over teenage sex craze looked like a chance to make a point about our society...except it was about London's society. Oh, well. It is still a scary point for the British.
And the second one I saw looked like it could help me to talk a little bit about the the secular Left's recent demonization campaign against religion. With a title like "The secular Left is demonizing conservative Christians", you'd think it was exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, it was more of a unnecessarily-dry restatement of things already said by others. Preaching to the choir, as it were.
Blah. Blogging angst besets me. At least I got in a few good football pieces first.

I love the commercial, too! It always gets my attention and makes me laugh. Most people don't remember seeing the woman in the commercial--but she has an interesting expression and adds to the oddness of the advertisement.
The parrot, which appears at the end of the commercial, says "There's no sugar" -- as the ad is for the sugarless Mentos (in response to the "matt j" posting on 5/30/05).
P.S. The original "No Limit" is a great song to dance to!

I had to post a second comment after having viewed the version of the commercial that it on the site posted by "DDW" on 8/21/05.
The parrot is in the "middle" of the commercial in this version and does say "There's no limit," just like the original song. The version that has been showing in the Philadelphia region is shortened and has the parrot appearing at the end, saying "There's no sugar." Apparently there are full-length and shortened versions--and the parrot's line is different for the sugarless mint ad.

I gotta tell ya, from a girl-watcher's perspective, there are few things better than sitting in a comfortable chair that faces the main entrance, and watching a parade of slender, attractive women walk past.

Then after the original posting, one of the servers and I did share a moment when she was having trouble opening the door (she was coming in from the patio with her hands full), and I started to stand up to help just as she got the door open. We laughed together and talked a little bit.

I get a lot of rally strange hits from Google and most of them are from China.
When I look at the keywords that were used in the search to lead it back to me, nearly all of them are politically related. It's almost as if someone were trying to find out just what word combinations my blog could show up under.
Then again, maybe I'm just a little paranoid. Living in China and blogging about politics can do that to you sometimes. LOL
Anyway, I don't know if you get any hits from my site, but I get a few coming from yours.

I'm still getting at least 4 hits/day from "Erica Durance Nude" (a trick I stole from Jay of Accidental Verbosity). And I get an extra 20-30 hits each day for a few days after I link Bob Lutz's FastLane blog. Especially if I make sure it has a good Title and Lead-in sentence that makes people want to click through.
I can sometimes give myself 'lanches from Michelle Malkin that way, too, if I'm the first person to link one of her posts.

As a serious note, I have about 70 Feeds in my RSS aggregator. Titles and a catchy first line are vital to getting me to click through (unless you're in the top section of which I read regardless).
And I'm still #1 in Google if you search for "Show me your tits".

Blogging

Okay, so I'm in my new location.
Blogging is going to be later in the day from now on. I was already suffering a little bit from being a west-coast time-zone blogger, i.e., the east coast guys usually blogged lots of stuff before I could get to it, and they were done for the day when I was still posting...including late evening stuff that consequently didn't get as much notice.
Well, I guess that problem is just going to get worse.
For instance, it's lunch time here...but most east-coast bloggers won't see this until tomorrow.
No big deal. I'm not doing this to impress anyone on the east coast. Well, except maybe Bill of INDC Journal.
Of course, no one cares what if this guy thinks.

I guess that puts me in "prime time" because I'm on when everyone else is in the morning and when I stop in the evening they're just waking up.
Kind of works out nice in the blogoshpere.

To Quote Douglas Adams quoting some other luminary:
The history of every major galactic civilization has passed through three distinct and recognisable phases: those of survival, inquiry, and sophistication. Otherwise known as the 'How', 'Why', and 'Where' phases.
For instance, the first phase is characterised by the question: "How can we eat?"
The second by the question: "Why do we eat?"
And the third by the question: "Where should we have lunch?"
The history of warfare is similarly subdivided though here the phases are retribution, anticipation, and diplomacy.
Thus, retribution: "I’m going to kill you because you killed my brother."
Anticipation: "I’m going to kill you because I killed your brother."
And diplomacy: "I’m going to kill my brother and then kill you on the pretext that your brother did it."

I'm in the middle of the Brain Fertilizer Farewell Tour, Part II (leaving Spokane for Hawaii, where I will resume full-time blogging), and we're hanging out in a bar that has Wi-Fi.
Woot.
In any case, I haven't been paying much attention to the news, so I have nothing to really blog about.
On the other hand, I have found a new taste treat. You know how people like to add fruit to breakfast foods? Adding strawberries to their Cheerios or bananas to Wheaties, and the like. Well, I've found (completely by accident, I assure you) that celery actually makes a great taste combination with Cocoa Puffs. I have eaten nearly every chance I can on this trip. It's like I'm obsessed.

She said, "I'm trying to decide if I should dismiss your crush to your youth, or to disrespect your taste. He's a disgusting whiner." I laughed so loud and for so long. I conceeded that he is a whiner, but it must have been my age, because now, Han Solo was looking very good.

China's New Path to Freedom?
«
Blogging
»
Check out what's going on over here.
In short, Canada tried to restrict political blogging in Canada. Canadian bloggers are reacting as you might expect: some are curtailing their political commentary, some are refusing to comply, some are treating the blogosphere geographically (as in, they won't post political commentary on their site, but feel comfortable doing so on, say, Free Republic).
The restriction on internet freedom in China is legendary. But there are always ways to work around blocks and filters and such. One interesting aspect of the Canadian blogger restriction is someone referred to the power of "American Blogosphere". From The Belmont Club (and blockquoted by Michelle Malkin):
Like the Rathergate and Swiftvets story, the scene seems set for an invisible and unacknowledged meme to exert a powerful influence on mainstream news. One poster at Free Dominion said Canada was about to experience the power of the American blogosphere.
The idea of an 'American blogosphere' is a curious concept. One Canadian poster, who balked at relating what he knew about the Liberal Party scandal on the Free Dominion because of the publication ban, suggested he and his buddies continue their conversation at the FreeRepublic, like they were crossing the border and going from Windsor to Detroit. Whether that made it all nice and legal I'll leave to the lawyers but a certain amount of absurdity suggested itself in the situation.
This highlights the impact that Internet self-publishing has had in breaking down political systems, whether peaceably (as in the case of Canada and the US) or not-so-peaceably as exemplified by Iran. Because the exercise of authority consists largely of information control (rather than physical control) by the State, Internet self-publishing has effectively weakened large areas of state power by weakening those controls. As a practical matter, there is not a judge in the world that can realistically enforce a gag order unless he can a) prevent the source leak or b) force compliance on all continents and seas of the planet earth.
This is a pretty heady concept. Many people (me included) have assumed that China's political freedom would eventually come through its economic freedom. That's still possibly a true statement, since the Chinese need enough economic freedom to purchase computers and internet service...but the lesson from this is that if bloggers in free nations set their blogsights on a corrupt/restrictive institutions that are at least partially dependent on public opinion, well, the pressure can be amazing. Maybe all we need to bring about freedom in China is an intense blog campaign against the Chinese government, complete with pressure on our own governments to censure, demarche, or otherwise express our disapproval?
Would the martyrs of Tian'anmen Square have purchased more freedom with their blood and breath for their nation if the blogosphere had existed then?
Mind you, I doubt that the blogosphere could be deliberately and effectively organized by an outside force for socio-political good, like a peace march or anything. The blogosphere is the sum of its parts, in that its direction comes from thousands of individuals making their own personal decisions, and more than the sum of its parts when you consider the amount of pressure it (the blogosphere) can bring onto a specific institution when aroused. And even if I'm expressing it badly, my point is that the blogosphere could only affect a totalitarian government like China's if enough people become concerned about situations and actions there. I probably couldn't make transforming China my pet project and get much traction in the blogosphere toward applying pressure. But if something like the Tian'anmen Square Massacre happens again, I don't think China's government would last a year.
As Archimedes said:
Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.
The Blogosphere is just about the biggest damn lever* our world has seen, I think. And getting longer all the time.

Unfortunately incidents like the Tiananmen Square massacre happen over here in China on a rather frequent basis.
http://thehorsesmouth.blog-city.com/read/1191878.htm
It's just not on the same scale as Tiananmen and the government is able to keep a better clamp on the media because it usually happens in rual areas.
I'm currently in south-west China doing independent research on such issues and I have a pretty good collection of documented incidents.
Civil unrest in the PRC is on the rise and the governments control over the masses is on the downslide.

I've been informed that some people don't want their unaltered image placed on the web. So while those are being altered to protect the not-so-innocent, I thought I'd supply you a picture of our bartendress, the lovely Kathryn. No, I'm not sure that's how she spells her name, it just sounded like that. No, I'm not giving her the choice to not have her picture on the web, so, yes, I guess I'm violating her privacy somehow. Except that I did ask to take her picture so I could put in on the web, and she acquiesced to the shot, so there.

Like I said, pictures won't be up until this evening.
Some other post-bash reports:
Steve of Wadcutter
ZombyBoy
The Libercontrarian (who had this cool Borg-like cellphone attached to his ear)
A Bellandean
Freedom Sight
Darren, the Colorado Conservative
My thoughts? Funny you should ask.
First, the slight-less-than-48-hours I spent there were nothing short of awesome. I can't remember the last time I was in such an intellectually intense environment. I was constantly challenged with Good Ideas and Good Thought from David, from Andy, from all the people I met at the bash (Scott, Darrn, Matt, Steve, Stephen, Jeff, Robin, Ally...) I learned from hearing ideas I had never considered before; I learned from attempting to share my ideas with people bright enough to spot flaws and/or improve each aspect. I learned from watching people interact. I learned from listening to Jeff G. and Stephen G., et al, engage Chris in a uniquely entertaining discussion of the problems with and evils of Bush and the Republicans (at least, that's what I got out of it).
I tried to float and meet people and take pictures and make a few blog entries. I think that might have worked to my detriment, as I didn't get into near as many extensive conversations as I see other people did in the above post-bash reactions. Dang.
Perhaps I was too intimidated to actually share ideas with Jeff G. and Stephen G.? Perhaps I have too little experience in bar gatherings to know how to mingle well?* Perhaps I'm just a social idiot? Probably a little of all of the above.
I did meet lots of cool people, and that will certainly lead to an updated blog-roll and more visits to the people I met. I have to tell you, even if the person doesn't exactly meet your expectations**, knowing the person behind the blog is always better.
Greatest Missed Opportunity to Make a Pun That Probably Would Have Gotten Me In a Great Deal of Trouble:
Stephen Green (holding a pool cue): Wow, Matt! That is the crookedest rack I have ever seen!
Possible response: "To which lady were you referring?"
Regrets:
I intended to buy lots of people more drinks. The 3 times I tried to buy someone a drink, they told me they were drinking water or not drinking or stopping so they could drive home. I could have sworn I bought Zombyboy a drink, at least, but it didn't show up on my tab...
I didn't inflict anyone with a single off-the-cuff pun the entire evening. Or the entire weekend, as I recall. I must be slipping.
Sort-of Embarassments:
I never expected how self-conscious it would make me to have someone whose intelligence and ability I respected as much as Stever of Wadcutter say that he read me regularly.
I never expected how self-conscious it would make me to have one of my original readers/commenters (Matt of Roverpundit fame) be present. When I think of some of the self-important crap I was putting out back then. Well, yeah: the stuff I put out now is still crap, but at least I've done a better (if incomplete) job of taking out the "self-important" part.
I didn't really expect it to bother me so much to hear someone say, "You are much more conservative than I am". I like my beliefs; I've thought long and hard about them, and I think I have good reasons for the conclusions I've reached and the views I advocate. There are a wide range of opinions I respect without actually agreeing with, as well. Someone, despite my attempt to remain independent-minded, I have assimilated the MSM's constant refrain that "conservative" is somehow bad, "moderate" is somehow courageous, and "liberal" is somehow saintly. Bah. No more excuses for my beliefs. Simply put: I advocate what I advocate on the basis of how I've seen the world work. I'm not going to force my views on anyone, but I will continue to try to convince people that a conservative and moral approach to life, as based on accumulated wisdom, is the best way for you to be happy and content, and to help those around you be happy and content. That's my ideology in a nutshell; take it or leave it.
Okay, that's all I can think of right now. I will be adding more as I remember what I wanted to say. Probably new posts rather than updating this one. Please set your bookmarks accordingly.

*I have never before in my life gone to a bar with the intention to drink as much as I wanted. In fact, I've never spent more than 2 hours in a bar before. It has nothing to do with being against alcohol...I have always been too poor to afford it, or too committed to fulfilling another's expectations of family responsibilities to ever just go to a bar and drink. I would normally rather buy the alcohol at a store and invite friends over (the money goes much further that way). I won't say this way is better or worse, but I'm glad I did it this time.
**Perhaps because of the pictures he has posted, I had pictured Zombyboy as younger and much more boyish. Rather, he is...wow. Words fail me. Highly intelligent. Knowledgeable on a huge range of topics. Conscientious. Thoughtful. But you know these things if you read his blog. And maybe that's the point. David is Zombyboy, only more so. More intelligent, more insightful, more knowledgeable. And an excellent host. I'm proud to call him my friend, and our meeting probably cemented a casual friendship into a lifelong collaboration on ideas.

ZB,
Turnabout is fair play, I'd say.
Andy,
That was coming in a later post. I've been mulling over the best way to put it. Maybe it's easiest to say:
Blogging is one aspect of our personalities, or a distillation of some parts of our character...but can never be complete. And so while nothing I learned from interacting with you betrayed or contradicted your anti-religious view, it made it all more palatable...by putting it all in context of the whole person? Or maybe it would be more accurate to say: Hearing the lyrics you came up with the songs we did helped me realize the level of irreverence you approach many things (including yourself), softening what comes across on your blogging/commenting as arrogance into more of a joy for provocation that lacks any sort of mean-spiritedness.
...see why I was still mulling it? [grin] You rush a miracle-man, you get bad miracles...rush an opninion-maker, you get bad opinions.

Despite my best half-hearted efforts, I haven't been able to get a decent drunk on. Which is probably good, since I have a long, long way to drive tomorow.
I've had a good time talking with bunches of people. Jeff G. has an adorable child, although he is still somewhat too leery of strangers (the child, not Jeff...although Jeff might be, as well...I shall check).
The bartendress has been quite awesome...although the lack of a blender has meant I have been entirely unable to fulfill my desire for a frozen drink. Ah, well, the Beam shot was nice, as have been the Guiness bottles. I shall provide a picture of her on Monday.
Are there any specific questions any of you might want me to ask of anyone in particular?*

Everyone is still having a good time!
Can you believe it?
I've had some great conversations already. I've learned that despite my misapprehensions, strategy war-gaming is alive and well (Avalon Hill-type stuff, if that means anything to you). I've learned quite a bit about raising puppies in preparation for them becoming working (assistance) dogs, and how tough it is to give them up. I've seen Stephen Green play pool*.
All in all, a fascinating evening with a bunch of fascinating people.

Blogging at this site is suspended until further notice.
I'll probably post pictures after the RMBB 4.0, so look for some stuff in about 10-11 days. Probably nothing before then, unless I get really excited.
I'm getting close to my move, and there are people to see, things to do, issues to handle, and traveling to be done. I don't know when I'll be able to blog, and certainly won't be able to blog regularly until about April 20th or so.

Sorry, man -- I've been trying that for nearly three full years, and it doesn't work. I am resigned to my "Crawly Amphibian" status.

I gotta say, there's something ironic about someone whose domain is "evolution-nextstep" to not get beyond crawly amphibian... [grin]
Okay, in all seriousness, I'm thinking that much of blogging is like multi-level marketing. I probably don't deserve the traffic I get with my level/skill of writing, but I started long enough ago that people stop by here out of habit, or something. And I think blogging persistence helps in Google search rankings, too.
Who knows?
posted by
Nathan on March 24, 2005 06:02 PM
Believe it or not, you aren't the first person to have a little fun with that TTLB/domain name connection. (I think it's funny too.)
Part of the problem is that I languished in Blogspot hell for two years before I got a real host. I've ran evolution for four years (almost three in blog form), and for some reason, traffic trends have passed me by.
That isn't why I'm into it; it never was. It's just neat to see what other people think.

j.d. on March 24, 2005 06:26 PM
You've got the right (healthy) attitude.
There are more things you could do to get a higher ranking...but ranking and hits are not directly correlated. A good portion of my Large Mammal ranking is just that I'm a part of mu.nu.
And there are more things I could do to get higher hit totals than 290/day. Participate in a few of the Carnivals, try to come up with a good blog meme, leave comments on every blog you come across, blog controversial themes, develop a good schtick.
That all takes too much effort, and I'm too lazy. So I'm happy with where I am. I may lust after more recognition, but I'm simultaneously enjoying what I have now.
posted by
Nathan on March 24, 2005 06:29 PM
Oh, sure, beg for attention. I don't think anyone pays any attention to my blog either, for that matter. Nobody ever comments. You get tons more traffic than I do, though. Didn't I see that you'd been added to some big-name's blogroll recently? Trying to remember who it was...
posted by
IowaSoccerMom on March 24, 2005 07:17 PM
Really? A big-name? Hmmm...I haven't seen any extra hits from anyone big.
Usually less than 3% of my readers ever comment. I think they saw how I treat Sharp as a Marble...
I've also been blogging for 2.5 years, and being in the military in the wake of 9/11 probably didn't hurt me any...
posted by
Nathan on March 24, 2005 08:13 PM
Are you talking about "In the Agora"?
I didn't realize they were that big until I saw their Ecosystem ranking.
...I really didn't understand that link from them...I mean, I added nothing to the conversation they were talking about. Ah, well, sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.
In any case, the only reason I put this post up is that you should always spread your posts out throughout the day, one every 2 hours or so...because that way you move to the top of rotating blogrolls and get "recently updated" marks on other blogrolls. It keeps people coming back, drives up hit totals, and can make sure you become a daily read: people know if they come back and hit 'refresh', they probably will get another opinion.
But when I have nothing to say and still want to post something, I'll do something silly/stupid, so hopefully someone at least gets a chuckle out of my being stupid...
That explains this post.
posted by
Nathan on March 24, 2005 08:58 PM
Oh, okay. I've actually thought about that, myself. Hasn't really changed my blogging habits, but it has crossed my mind that that's a way to get hits. For me, it gets me a wash of hits through the Pro-Life Blogs aggregator, particularly when I post something pro-life in nature. I don't ever do it on purpose just to get hits from PLB, but I've certainly noticed a spike whenever I do.

I've noticed that some of my friends, cohorts, and otherwise frequent commenters don't do so much anymore.
It was just about a week ago that I realized that I didn't leave comments so much anymore either. So I stopped to think about why.
I think much of it is that I have grown tired of people eschewing venom in response to a comment of mine, even if it is obvious they didn't completely understand, or even completely read. When you comment on someone else's site, you lose control of everything. Your comment can be edited or deleted (although I have never had that happen to me), you don't always see the responses, the blogger can write new posts "fisking" your comment, other commenters might attack unfairly and the blog proprietor might let you twist in the wind without giving support, or someone who only reads that comment might understand at all what context your other writings might lend to the comment itself.
So if I have something to say, I'm increasingly moved to just say it on my website rather than posting a comment. I'm more likely to read and consider rather than pound out my immediate reaction.
Has anyone else had this development in their blogging? Is it a blogging maturition process?

I'm just tired of all the fighting *sniff*
j/k
Actually, now I can predict to nearly a 99% certainty how who will respond to what I say, or atleast vaguely. So naturally, if not looking for a debate and I sense one coming, I often don't post.
But I can't predict how you'll respond to this one. Probably with raspberry syrup coated cattle commentary or chicken flavored soda descriptions or a diatribe on the need for California to secede from the US.

Jo on March 23, 2005 03:17 PM
My experience is similar to Jo's. I know pretty much what reaction I'm going to get to whatever I say and rather than deal with the headaches, I just move on to less political issues.
posted by
R. Alex on March 23, 2005 03:25 PM
I agree with Jo and R. Alex. And I guess that predictability has sort of taken the fun out of it. I also get tired of having the same arguments again and again, so if it looks likely to turn onto one of the standards, I skip it.

Deb on March 23, 2005 04:30 PM
Often I'll post a long comment on someone else's site, and then think "Holy crap, that would be a perfect blog entry! Why am I wasting such good material here?" Sometimes I'll get an idea and post it around the comment boards just to let it ferment a bit before using it on my own blog. He's the one I'm test driving right now:
"Let's not get carried away, folks. Starvation isn't as bad as it seems. Gandhi used to starve himself all the time, just for kicks. Besides, Schiavo is on a morphine drip. It will be a very peaceful, painless death. Does she deserve one after all she's put poor Micheal through? Well, I'm afraid that's a moot point. Unless Sally Struthers steps in at the the last moment to save her, Terri Schiavo's proverbial goose is cooked."
Now if I get a wad of angry hate mails from your readers, I might turn that comment into some Liberal Larry Gold. If all I get are a few polite snickers, I'll chalk it up to the NyQuil and go back to bed.

Liberal Larry on March 23, 2005 04:59 PM
I have a problem that is SOMEWHAT similar. I have to say something so outrageous that Alister Crowley would read it and say "Dude, you just went TOO far with that" to get any comments. I've noticed an overall decline in commenting among the comments I read. I attribute it to those who are opiniated and quick witted getting their own blog. However, with that said, I've also noticed if you can get one person to make a comment, others will usually follow if the first one is in any way coherent.

What Blogging Has Done For (To?) Me
«
Blogging
»
The other day my friend sent me an article excerpt about the Bankruptcy Bill, mainly just a quote from Sen. Schumer. I really don't like the guy for a number of reasons, and he is one of the people who I don't trust to make a simple statement of fact when politics are involved.
I admitted I didn't know much about the subject, but that my initial reaction was that it wasn't as simple as Sen. Schumer was saying: that Republicans passed the bill to stick it to the little guy and let the rich off the hook.
After returning home, I started researching, and found that the truth behind the bill was actually pretty bad, just not the aspect my friend was upset about (in my opinion). I went to Google News and was able to get a good idea of the issues involved just by reading the headlines and the first few lines of the article Google always includes. From those, I saw that while the Bill made it harder to file for bankruptcy, it did nothing to address the way credit companies make it easy to get too far into debt. It did alot to reduce the supply of bankruptcy for individuals, but nothing to reduce the need for it in the first place.
Then I saw several other bloggers address the issue; some were people I respect, some I'd never heard of. But without even having to turn on a TV, I was able to gather facts, commentary, and opinion about an issue that really hadn't had much coverage on the national stage until last Tuesday.
The left side of the blogosphere accuses the right side of being an 'echo chamber' and 'taking marching orders from the RNC fax machine'. The right says the same thing about the left...interestingly, the only actual evidence I've seen is that the DNC does send out faxes...and it is also true that there are more singular/ultimate opinion leaders on the left side (Kos, Atrios on top, with a number of second-tier opinionists like Drum, Yglesias, O-dub, Pendagan (sp?), Kausfiles) than on the right side (where we have independent opinionists like Bill Whittle, Dean Esmay, Charles Johnson, Ace O' Spades, Allah Pundit, Bill INDC, the Llama Butchers, Glenn Reynolds, Wizbang Blog, Kim and Connie du Toit, Baldilocks, Michele Catalano (when she's feeling political), Vodka Pundit, Rather Biased, Blogs for Bush, JawaReport, Q and O Blog...and I'm sure I'm missing a dozen that are equally as big and important. None stand out as the place to get information, except for Glenn Reynolds perhaps (and he does less opinion and more linking. All of the people on the right side can and have become the focal point of the blogosphere when they hit on something important or newsworthy.
But I digress.
The point is that within a few minutes, I can scan and get diverse opinions from an extremely wide range of viewpoints. I can check out the extreme conservative, the classicly liberal, the religious conservative, the libertarian, the social moderate, and the straight conservative viewpoint and what they think of the issue and feel very confident that I have a good idea of what issues are at stake. I don't have to adopt any specific viewpoint, and rarely do. Even apart from a possible/probable liberal bias in print and broadcast news media, I could never get such a range of opinion and reaction in the old media. But the scope and range I can cover in just a few minutes means that it is very difficult for me to get caught up in one just erroneous opinion.
This applies to all sorts of issues. I can see that Kansas City signed a Safety away from Miami, and over the next few days I can hear what the sportscasters think of the guy and his prospects for improving the defense. I can more easily remain a Kansas City Chiefs' fan no matter where I live. Sure, that's the internet...but what cements my status as a fan is that I can talk about the Chiefs with other Chiefs fans around the whole world, no matter where I am.
And when I encounter some issue or news item that elicits a strong reaction from me, I can research it and expand my understanding, without fear of mistakenly swallowing misinformation.
Blogging has absolutely revolutionized the way I get information and news about the world I live in.

Nilou Motamed
Is Very Beautiful...Now I Have the Proof
«
Blogging

Although I admit the picture below the fold doesn't really do her justice. She's one of the women who is most beautiful, I think, when she speaks and smiles, her eyes flashing and her spirit revealed in every graceful motion.
Or maybe a professional photographer with more time could bring it out better.
No matter. I hope someday she "googles" her own name and sees these posts and writes me to say, "WTF, over?" and I get all embarassed and try to insist I'm not stalking her, although I will then accidentally admit that she looked very nice in the brown sleeveless dress and really should have gone with that over the blue wrap-around she eventually went with that night...
...or did I say too much?

How does one delete trackback ping spam?
Show Comments »
Sadly, 20 spam pings later, I figured this out today.
Set up MT so you get an e-mail when you are pinged. See what entry the e-mail tells you was pinged. Manually go to that entry and delete the ping there.
It sucks!

posted by
Robert on March 2, 2005 03:05 PM
Robert,
You are correct. I didn't think it would, because when I clicked the little "De-Spam using blacklist" link, it said the ping wasn't found. That's why I originally thought it didn't de-spam trackback pings. But then I just refreshed my MT control screen, and all the trackback spam pings were gone...so probably Reverend Misa was cleaning up for me...?

I seem to be in total disagreement with nearly all the people I normally agree with on socio-political issues.
Is it that I have kids and most of them do not? Possible, but I'm not sure.
In any case, do you think I'm going to get linked by Instapundit, Michelle Malkin, or any of the really big bloggers for my principled stand and (hopefully) plausible support for my views?
Nah, me either. But thanks for stopping by and reading, and commenting, faithful readers!

A General Apology to my Blogroll

People, there are just too many dang good bloggers doing their stuff these days. I can't seem to keep up with everyone. If I don't stop by your blog every day, please don't be offended or think I don't like your stuff. There just aren't enough hours in the day to read all the good stuff worth reading and blog my own opinions.
And you know I can't live without my soapbox...
...and then I go and add another one! What's wrong with me???
I especially like this one, particular the #1 caption.

It wasn't exactly a restful vacation...had to deal with the in-laws...

I have 54 hits today already.
What's wrong with you people??? Go spend time with family. Or friends. Or co-workers. Or find someone else alone and you reduce the number of people alone by at least 2.
Give something of yourself to someone.
Then again, I'm writing something on my blog... And I was pathetic enough to actually check my sitemeter.
Um, What's wrong with me, people?

I'm going to take a break until after the New Year's.
I've been blogging very consistently since I started up this blog, often blogging through the weekends. The only thing that stopped me at all was when I physically couldn't get to a computer in transit.
But I think I need a break for a few days, so I'm taking one.
I may end up posting at times, but if I do, I'll be as surprised as you!

Joe Huffman of The View from North Central Idaho.
I saw his comments on someone else's blog, followed 'em, and whether or not I agree (and I think I largely do...give me time to consider), his thought process was good enough that I'll be interested in seeing what else he comes up with.
Particularly since I hadn't seen this bit o' nonsense by King County anywhere else.

Thanks so much for adding me to your blogroll. A minor correction I would like to make is that my name is Huffman, not Hoffman.
And if you are looking for other stuff of mine that might be of potential interest (or controversy) try these:

I got a search hit from google on this string: "Is a Yorkie right for me?"
The answer: I don't know.
Oh, and the search led the seeker to this post.
A Yahoo search on this string, "Christian Sexual Mindsets" led someone to this post, which is always a good read and a good reminder. Especially if you start with this post where it started.

Appparently, you can get hits by having references to Erica Durance, particularly if she's talking about Clark being nude in the first episode of Smallville, because then searches for "Erica Durance nude" or "Erica Durance without clothes" will get you hits.
Hey, works for me.

I would say "off topic," but I don't think this was meant to have a topic...
Anyway, I had left a comment previously about Alexander and how homosexuality was viewed in ancient Greece. I just got back from vacation and noticed Victor Davis Hanson had a good post on that very topic. See the second question in his November question log if you're interested: http://victorhanson.com/articles/Private%20Papers/Question%20Log/November.html

Excellent link!
And VDH pretty much said what I was trying to say, albeit mine was much more clumsily: homosexuality was not the same thing then as it is now, but Oliver Stone seems to have deliberately misrepresented the real situation, making it more like modern homosexuality/bisexuality; in my opinion, to advance the homosexualist agenda by "desensitizing" the public to it.
Thanks for posting that.

I was up to around #500 and solidly a Large Mammal in the Ecosystem. Now I've plunged to Marauding Marsupial and am way above #1000.
Was the Large Mammal ranking erroneous, or the current Marauding Marsupial ranking? I mean, NZ Bear says that he's debugging, but he didn't say which way the problem fell....

I dropped 10% in a day. Not surprising as I've always felt no one really liked me and the only reason they were linking to me was out of pity.

I never hear anyone mention Meryl Yourish any more. I saw a comment she left on a very old thread, and actually wondered, "Is she still blogging?" ...followed the link and, sure enough, there was an entry from yesterday at the top of the page.
Now, I don't do Instapundit, so maybe I'm missing lots of links to her. But other people in my circle of normal blogging rounds who used to link her at least occasionally haven't linked her in ages.*
So what gives? Am I moving in the wrong circles? ...am I, um, moving in the right circles? Enquiring minds want to know.

I have no idea how they stumbled across my blog. However, this was in my sitemeter referral log.
Unless it’s changed (and it took me a full minute to figure out where the link was), it should be highlighted in a big box on the left-hand side.
Is that cool, or what?
I know it means nothing. It’s only gotten me one extra hit that I can see. But I gotta say these are the moments that make hours/days/weeks of blogging worthwhile.

The reason you are on the list is that they "borrowed" the list from me. I have you listed as from Montana, since you graduated here.

Well, it didn't actually make the highlights. But it was pretty cool to me.
He also fielded two short kick-offs, but didn't do anything impressive. They really need to try to work him into the offense more, because I could see him being a Ricky Proehl-type of possession receiver...maybe even developing into a guy who can run after the catch like Ed McCafferey or John Taylor. No one will ever confuse him with Chris Carter, tho, obviously.

The LLama Butchers links with:
It's official!
November 03, 2004
Okay, I admit it: I like some of the new functionality at NZ Bear's latest version of the Ecosystem.
Except that I don't understand the way he does the links anymore. Apparently I've whined my way into enough attention that my actual work is getting attention now. I suddenly jumped up to 169 unique links and a ranking in the low 800s, good enough for Large Mammal.
...but when I look at the links on the bottom of the page, it's all the same people, and there's only 23 of 'em. How do I find the other linkers (looks like about 30 new ones in the last few days...probably due to the generous attention I've been getting from the Llama Butchers)?
I like to link the people who link me, but I can't link you back if I don't know about it. I used to find an occasional new linker from Ecosystem as well as Sitemeter...now I can't figure out how to do that with the Ecosystem. Any suggestions?

The advice which the Commissar gave us back in April (which didn't really sink in on us till much later, alas) is to be scrupulously careful that when you link to an item, you are sending a trackback "ping." That way, sites that you link to know that you did, and that's how we've gotten a fair amount of notice.
Trackbacks are the key. Trust the LLamas!

At the historically-established rates, I should pass 50,000 Sitemeter hits sometime tomorrow morning.
I have no plans to reward anyone, mainly because I'm really not sure how to use Sitemeter to identify who it was.
What would be really cool is if ya'll could help make sure it happens today, instead...that would definitely be worth some sort of prize.

One of the things that came up from the Great Inland Northwest Blogjam was that Dana insisted you should put a picture of yourself up at your blog, because it really helps people to have a visual of who is writing the blog...it helps readers feel like they know who you are.
Okay, with that in mind, which picture do you think should go up in my sidebar? Keep in mind, cropping is not only possible, it is probably necessary...

Ranked in order:
1. Shoulder ride
2. Saw
3. Driving
4. Tree
5. Sitting on rock (last only because it's difficult to see)

The saw! The saw! You're holding TOOLS, man! And I like the big ol' grin. :)
But hey. Whichever one you like best is a-okay with me.

I'm a profile guy.
(And the driving pic is a good shot of your "brain")

If you were a brit, I'd say the top photo just to be cheeky. ;)

Finally! A picture! I am such a visual that I really do prefer having a face to go with the type.
I agree with Jeremy; the profile.
I love finding out what someone looks like after I have "formed" a picture in my mind (and I am always wrong, btw!).
Nice pictures, Nathan. Thanks for finally revealing your brain house :)

So, where's the picture, and what's up with no responses lately, Mr?

I can't guarantee I'll remember this tomorrow, and my Blog-Birthday happens to fall on a Sunday Saturday in which very few people will be blogging, so I call your attention down to the little Sitemeter tag that points out I've been doing this for (as of the beep) three days short of two years.
Wish me a happy Blog-Birthday and Tell All Your Friends.

Must hold this thought in my head for a few more days...

Yee Haw, and I can't believe it's been so long. You may well be the only person I have convinced to do something who actually stuck with it. ;)

Okay, either Sitemeter is having problems, or no one is stopping by my site at all.
Either way, this sucks.

I just didn't have much to say after the abortion joke.

...and why wasn't your comment emailed to my inbox?

Weird thing about your blog...somehow, my comments aren't always e-mailed to you AND it never saves my info, no matter if I check to do so or not. Ever.
It's defective! :)

I had only 15 visitors today; but I didn't blog till now (well in a few minutes) and munu was down.

Your blog was down for quite a while, there.

I had no problems accessing it...
...this is quickly getting inexplicable.

I couldn't access any munuvians until just a little bit ago. My inability to visit alone probably accounts for 1/3 of the internet's drop in traffic.
Well, ok, that might be a SLIGHT exaggeration...

But a very appreciated compliment, nonetheless.

Someone found my site with this search!
Is that cool, or what?
It's official: this has all gotten entirely too metaphysical.

For those of you who have intermittent contact with me at work, my daughter has pinkeye. I will be blogging from home today and tomorrow.
