The Mind is Hungry

the mind is hungry
the web is full of junk food
where does one eat around here ?


When you don't have a lot of time, and want something filling, where do you go?
You know, something that doesn't make you feel empty and time-wasted? Not the cheezburger and lolcats, or yesterdays viral video, but something that gives you a sense of wonder and hope, inspires you, brings a tear to your eye. Places where you can easily waste a lot of time, like a library, but don't feel like you're wasting time.

I listen to a lot of public/streaming radio and a few podcasts; I am thinking stuff like This American Life, or The Moth which has really amazing stories.

For simple websites, I had nearly forgotten about PostSecret. This never fails to start the tears flowing. A picture and a secret charged with emotion: regrets and sadness; hope and inspiration; good, bad, and random secret deeds.

For amazing, TEDtalks - Riveting talks by remarkable people.
Instead of grabbing the remote and turning on tv, watch one of these instead.



What are your favorite non-candy sites?
Did this make you think about nourishment of the past that you are missing?

Please share--it's a potluck.

And it doesn't have to be popular. Hidden gems are often the best.

starting SEO part One

what are your favorite tools?

for SEO

aka

Search Engine Optimization... ?

It is actually a huge market,

both white, grey, and black.

Just do a search; if you never heard of it you will be surprised,

like it's bigger than beanie babies!

Now, you will probably start seeing ads for those toys... OR BULK STYROFOAM at WHOLESALE PRICES.

[update: I now have 8 styrofoam salesmen following me on twitter.]

One way to become popular is to provide lots of value, over time.

People find what you wrote, book mark, pass it on, spread, subscribe,

and over time your traffic grows geometrically.

Another is jibber jabber about all the popular things!

Talk about whatever's popular today, like

michelle mcnair, sahel kazemi, steve mcnair shooting,

ricketts family, patrick cudahy fire,

smart technologies s.a., panic at the disco breaking up,

michael jackson memorial service, bordure cycling,

OH!!! link to DISNEY MONORAIL ACCIDENT VIDEO,

robert mcnamara, ola ray lawsuit, jenna bush wedding dress...

and the only one interesting: codex sinaiticus online.

The worst way is a parked domain, domain squatters, or the typo-buyers.

You've seen these--you click on some old link from

They are the lowest!

They should be taken out and shot. I'm sure they try to justify to themselves that they are somehow "adding value, " but I couldn't live with myself.

Why weren't we smart enought to think of that?

At least every moment you are reading my article

is a second you are not clicking on them.

I treat this in more detail in Taking Them Out and THen Shooting THem, Part II in pt.2

and how to crash these systems.

The object is to get your links on the first page.

But I like random links on page 10 or later.

So post your favorite links here, and I can post to you later!

Christian Bale pandemic virus movie

Is there a new moving coming out?

Scene:

driving jeep, open back.

in back is large tote

driving down the freeway

breathing from the tube

connected to the tote -- 

the outside air is contaminated.

he's getting gas

under the carport

at the pumps

at the gas station

he breathes from the tote

with the tube

when he needs to.

leaving the city

driving down a dirt road

trail, rather

through a forest

breathing from the tote

he passes another jeep

going in the other direction

they do not know.

.

.

.

Breathing from a 250G tote seems odd.

• Ineffective:   if there is a virus in the air, 
• Inconvenient:  get a gas mask, dude.  I don't mean an N95 face mask, but one of those WWI masks with the tubes and canisters.
• Inbelievable:  because inbelievable isn't even a word, but if it was, it would be the same and unbelievable.  Actually, I think it makes more sense than unbelievable, because if you believe something, can you un-believe it?  ''Sorry for my previous belief, I will now go back and unbelieve that.''
•  not to mention probably not very.
  

Now, I don't know what the title of this movie is,

or when it is coming out.

I only briefly saw these few scenes

and it was in a dream.

I guess it was just the trailer.

Pictured above is the model

most popular amongst bloggers.

I guess it fits in

with the current H1N1 / Swine flu / hamthrax situation.

but why Christian Bale?
