Dogs Beat Cats

This entry was posted in Google Information Technology on by

All you cat bloggers out there will be disappointed to learn that cats finished 3rd in Google’s October listing of the most popular animal searches. Dogs were first followed closely by dragons. Cats were far behind and barely edged out puppies and horses. So why do I find so few dogs and dragons for the Friday Ark?
For the politically inclined In October kerry beat bush in the category of popular news queries (though bush currently leads kerry by about 3.6 million Google listings)
For more interesting Google search stuff check out the Google Zeitgeist.

I’ll post links to sites that have Friday (or shortly thereafter) photos of their chosen animals as I see them (no photoshops and no humans).
Leave a comment or trackback to this post and I’ll add yours to the list. If there is interest I’ll keep this as a weekly feature.

Not Getting Things Done

I could blame lite posting on spending too much time last weekend trying to install a Captcha tool to help deal with comment spam that had become just too annoying. Others seem to have it working so I guess I’m not quite techie enough to overcome the installation instructions. MT-Blacklist is next.
But that was last weekend and this is Thursday so I’ll add to my blame the other guy list this post which fed my personal management system addiction. I have been spending lots of time over the last several days reading David Allen’s Getting Things Done, thinking about its ideas, and preparing to implement its tools. It just might satisfy my addiction where all the others I have tried have failed.
I plan to be getting a lot more done here, at home, and work once I am comfortable with this new system and have my stuff under control. In the meantime….well, we will see….
So, you see the Allen book in the “currently reading” section of the right sidebar. Some of you might raise your eyebrows a bit when you see Quicksilver there. I’m re-reading it before reading The Confusion and The System of the World.
