PageRank: still broken
A friend just
pinged me on messenger to let me know that if you search
Google for "Schwarzenegger for governor" you get an
entry form my blog
as the first result. (See screen shot on the right and click for full
image.)
I wonder how long that will last.
Maybe I should sell some ads on that page in a hurry? :-)

If this keeps up, I'm starting a Google category in my blog.
Update: Phil has some interesting thoughts on this too--beyond what you see in the comments below.
What is that smell?
It's blowing in from the front window. It smells like burnt rubber stew or something.
It's so nasty. And distracting.
And my new neightbors with the loud kids are making a hell of a lot of noise too.
Ugh.
I should reply to that condo for rent posting at work. It sounded much nicer than my place, it's closer to work, and the rent is cheaper.
