2006: it’s a wrap! And, we bid you adieu.

In Seattle, any popular coffeehouse is filled with people who just sit at tables on their laptops and communicate with other fictional selves on the Net instead of doing the least bit of the communication and interaction—positive or negative—with people sitting five feet away. All those people, all that weird isolation.

Happy Holidays!

Traveling far and wide with deep-linking and side-tripping. How far will you go?

Just Shelley in Neighborly Linking points to Sheila Lennon links pointing to an article titled, How to Remove Tourists from your Photos, a PhotoShop hack.

Side-tripping from the Sheila Lennon link Noted: Smashing the Clock, points to the article on Yahoo Biz, “The Changing Workplace” by Michelle Conlin, of BusinessWeek Online.

Domain sillyness:

Don’t be foogled once you’ve googled those google-likes. The domain googled.com forwards to google.com. The domain foogled.com is parked. So is noogled.com. The domain moogled.com forwards to a fantasy site, and the domain woogled.com goes to woogle which is currently a broken mySQL mess.

poogled.com is a search site wannabe with Winnie the Pooh links included? roogled.com is an online contacts manager, and hoogled.com is for sale.

Hurry:
boogled.com is currently expired, and coogled.com, koogled.com, toogled.com, voogled.com, and yoogled.com are available.

Whew! Googling is a rabbit hole.
