Blog Index

Recovered from the Wayback Machine.

What a great idea — a blog index. Now you can look under ‘B’, and find me! And a whole lot of other weblogs that start with ‘B’. Nicely done! Wait until all them Blogger blogs start pinging weblogs.com. Then we’ll see some real action!

Blog indexes. Blogstickers. Blog/Google games. Awards. A Blogging Lexicon. Are we heading over the edge? If so, how far will we fall? And will we have a fun time falling? Life’s mysteries.

Thanks to TX Meryl for tip. And she got it through Gary, who got it through the ether. Gary gets a lot of things through the ether. Come to think of it, so does TX Meryl.

Criminally Cute

Recovered from the Wayback Machine.

When BurningBird takes a walk on cute side, she doesn’t screw around.

Is there some form of criminal offense to put something this absolutely terminally cute on the internet?

I thought my hamster in the pink dress was cute earlier, but this…don’t view if cute makes your toes curl.

(Actually, I thought some of it bordered on the scary myself.)

JOJO the blog faced boy

Recovered from the Wayback Machine.

I was having so much fun with Googlewhacking today that I didn’t realize until tonight that I called David Weinberger, JOJO the Blog Faced Boy.

My apologies.

Ahem. Ladies, Gentlemen, the correct nom de plume for Mr. Weinberger is JOHO — the Blog Faced Boy.

Mr. Weinberger is of course free to mangle burningbird as he sees fit – verbally, of course.

Googlewhacking 2

Recovered from the Wayback Machine.

What I’m finding about Googlewhacking is that it’s truly amazing how many pages are returned for the most bizarre combinations of words. And the really interesting stuff that can return. However, I think we’ll find that I’m not going to be burning up the scoreboards if I stop and actually look at the results.

Take a look at this one, from the Miama Herald – Come on Baby, light my carrot. With writers like Dave Barry, googlewhacking becomes a very difficult task.

You figure out what words I was using to pull up this gem.

Googlewhacking

Recovered from the Wayback Machine.

Googlewhacking is taking over the country. There’s now a point system and rules and everything, and David Weinberger (aka JOHO, the Blog Faced Boy) is the official googlewhackermeister. And a mention by Ed Yourdan — I’ll have to admit, I’m impressed!

But prizes. Where’s the damn prizes?

What do you give a person who is a champion Googlewhacker? And don’t say “…a life” — we all know webloggers don’t have lives outside the blogs.

Prizes. Prizes. We need googlewhacker prizes! I ain’t giving my brain cells away for just blog buzz — we need prizes!
