Google Secure Search is really bugging me

Googles secure search is really bugging me, any thoughts on what we can do about it?

I feel like writing some script that blocks everyone who visits my site because of it as we no longer get any seo indications on what/how people got there.

Any thoughts?

Model S

 

http://blogs.wsj.com/drivers-seat/2012/06/29/to-elon-musk-and-the-model-s-congratulations/
I no longer have these emails, but as I recall, at issue was my public skepticism that a car such as the Model S could be built, within the technical specifications Mr. Musk laid out, before the end of 2012.....(more)


Makes you wonder what else can be done in 3 years if you remove all the bullshit.

Tropfest - New York

Here are the 8 finalists from Tropfest NY at Bryant Park last week.

"Emptys" won the competition but my favorite was "Elvis" which came in third.

QR code fatigue

Articles like this bore me. Obviously misses the mark and is uneducated at best or worse....just SEO bait.

QR Code Fatigue - by Mark Milian

http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-06-28/qr-code-fatigue
QR codes have always had limitations as advertising tools. They can only be used by smartphone owners, who have to download an app and hold their phone steady to capture a clear image. The process doesn’t work well with faraway billboards or in low lighting, and it requires cellular service.


My comments below.
Both Roger and Phillip nailed it. Saying there is something such as QR fatigue would be like saying there is URL fatigue.


Mark how about you call out crappy websites/marketing campaigns for what they are and quit blaming the protocol.

Saying QR codes are fatiguing is about as intelligent as saying http: is boring.

Amanda Palmer and the GTO

Amanda Palmer with her GTO iteration were at Williamsburgh Music Hall last night.

A great mix of old tracks and some tracks off the new GTO album (hearing "The Bed" for the first time made Jodie cry....lol not unusual event, but an example of how when you are open as a performer, you can really touch your audience).

Was a fantastic concert throughout the night but when they did the encore they really blew the roof off (the video is shaking because the section we were standing in was moving around so much), David Byrne (who also did a cameo with the Jherek Bischoff support set) came out and did a rendition of Burning Down The House with a fat horn section, there wasnt a single person not dancing out the doors and up the street afterwards.

She's going to be touring again in the Fall...I'll be back.

i'm so smart i havent gone to a gas station in over a month

when are we going to see someone on a Chevy Volt tv commercial say OMFG have you seen the size of my electric bill!! I'm going 'back' to the gas station.

Assange asks for diplomatic protection against us extradition

http://www.nation.com.pk/pakistan-news-newspaper-daily-english-online/international/26-Jun-2012/assange-for-diplomatic-guarantees
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange Monday called for diplomatic guarantees he will not be pursued by the United States for publishing secret documents if he goes to Sweden to face criminal allegations. The Australian, 40, said he is prepared to go to Sweden to face questioning over sex assault claims, but fears Stockholm will turn him over to the US where he could face espionage and conspiracy charges over revelations by WikiLeaks.


cracked me up he did another one of his shows this week while holed up in the embassy - http://assange.rt.com/chomsky-ali-episode-ten/ -I guess he's got some time on his hands.

Bumfuzzle

I started reading this book Bumfuzzle last night.

Basically everyone raves about this book as the must read, go to book, if you are planning on doing a sailing circumnavigation. I've heard about it for many years in different places, you must read Bumfuzzle etc etc

I bought it thinking its going to be this super technical book about the do's and donts of sailing and prepping and how to etc.

lol the first 6 pages are a crackup and fantastic, basically this guy and his wife get drunk in a bar and unhappy with their life at the moment (even though doing very well) decide to chuck it all in and go sailing.....having never sailed before.

10 days later they had bought a boat and 2 months later sold off everything and pushed off for the sea.

Their attitudes and discoveries are fantastic. I can see why everyone raves about the book but just not for the reasons i was expecting.

I'm only up to New Zealand so far so we'll see what happens but a great read even if you dont know your port from your starboard.
