What is with the media? People and animals all over Europe are choking on volcanic ash from the eruption in Iceland and nobody writes about pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis?

Joel Achenbach’s take on the Decade

I really like Joel’s summary of the first 10% of the 21st century. I especially like his closing paragraph:

“As history marches on, this decade will be known for its stumbles and reversals. The scolds and doubters reminded us that hope is not a plan. But neither is despair a winning strategy. The smart move is to look back at the 2000s glancingly, and then turn, with optimism, to the decade ahead.”

This tagline is owned.

I used to have a tag line in my header that said “Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.” (Think about it.)

Then somewhere along the line I changed it to the current one, “It’s time to take this bull by the horns and milk it.”, which is wholly original, and I think, clever. Don’t believe me? This one is mine.

Now.. how do I get Googlebot to forget my old (Google-operated) BlogSpot blog and point here? It’s a quandry.

Google Flu Trends chart

I was over looking at Google Trends’ new business trends models at Google Domestic Trends, and I stumbled on this nifty flu tracker page: Google Flu Trends.

By the way, there appears to be no “real” plural of “flu,” so I have decided to declare that the plural of “flu” is “flus” — it certainly isn’t “flues.”
