More from the weird web department… can anyone guess who’s remaindered links I am plundering??

Anyhow, as a DOG themed corner of the web and a techie, I gave some serious perusal of Pet’s Mobility:
PetsMobility™ Network, Inc. (PetsMobility™) is a wireless communications company that will be providing innovative wireless communication products and services to the rapidly [...]

Okay, so “nofollow” is “nomiracle”… but today I got confirmation from a site in Span that one or molecules of spam were stomped:
Hello Mr. Levine
Sorry for the long time without news about our “problem” but we’ve been very busy making changes in our network in order to fix it.
During this week we’ve changed almost all our [...]

From Bore Me, here is a video clip of a bunch of guys who toss a cheerleader through a basketball hoop.

There is a lot of surlpus time out there working in strange ways.
What else can be said?
And can someone help me understand The Two Headed Dog? (from the “I’m feeling old department”).

Oh well, might as cancel the jubilation over Google’s “nofollow” announcement. Ben Hammersley spells out the sobering reality in “Let no fellow nofollow, lest we all lie fallow”:
I’m deeply mystified by the hallelujahs bursting forth about Google’s rel=”nofollow” method of preventing comment spam. The idea being that comment spammers will leave your own site alone, [...]

For the last year or more I have been blabbering about the “small pieces of technology loosely joined”, so it was extremely overdue that I actually read the book I pilfered the phrase from.
So thanks to a holiday gift card from Borders (which is really just a portal to Amazon) just fresh off the [...]

Following a link in an email notification from Jay Allen’s Comment Spam web site, I came across the best “404 Document Not Found” page I’ve seen in a while:

For more fun things like this, or if you have some large amounts of time to idle away, check out the 404 Research Lab, which beyond featuring [...]

I’ve been deploying my day time discoveries some web design work I do outside the Maricopa gig… most recently wrapping some of the Small Technologies Loosely Joined for the Eye Dog Foundation. This is a local organization that raises and trains German Shepherds as guide dogs for the blind, providing them at no cost.
This has [...]

If you love flickr as much as me, well, you need a groovy, iPod like tune. A band called birdw0rks has done it, check out the flickr song [4.5 Mb mp3], and if your ears are a bit, ahem, well “mature”, here are the lyrics. Oh, there is also cover art.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So how [...]

After my usual too-much-over-the-top-sarcasm bark at the Professional Bloggers Association, I got a quick professional PBA trackback from their new professional PBA site:
Trackback: “Chuckle…”
Excerpt:
My own personal snarky anti-fan strikes again:

He does this periodically, so please don’t lash out at him. We all need to be able to laugh at ourselves, and things like

Holy Flickr! I just blindly stmbled into yet another wildly frenetic flickr functionality.
I think it was Roland’s feed that led me here, but flickr is being used, along with its note features, to create a collaborative map of Vancouver– a series of closer and father up images of the city based on ?? Keyhole.
