Well, for those who haven’t noticed… tech savvy folks have been trying to lower the boom on opinions they do not like by getting folks like Google to drop their site.
My wife’s site ( http://www.laurafreberg.com ) hasn’t been visited by Google since June… and here we are in August 2008. Why is this? Laura’s site has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with Psychology, but it seems that everyone is getting whacked here.
The biggest problem is Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and I would like to lay the problem at their door and … there seems to be some evidence. The picture you see on the left appears to be a parody of Cal Poly’s aging President… the great Warren Baker. Well, there was a time when you could do a ‘Google Search’ and find this picture when you searched : Cal Poly, Cal Poly & Saudi Arabia or Warren Baker.
Today, nothing comes up on the search. Why is that ol Googly eyes?
There was another picture of Osama Bin laden in a Cal poly engineering sweater that can’t be found… it is very funny…
There is a story of how Google is suppressing blogs that use their site… but I will leave that to your reading….(Hint) it’s on one of the YAHOO lists.
So, here are a few things you can’t find on Google:
Cal Poly Graduation: Be ‘coul’ dude
Who’s really embarrassing Cal Poly?
Cal Poly & Saudi Arabia: Send in the clowns!
Behind the Cal Poly & Saudi Arabian Green Door
ssshhh… Saudi Arabia is watching you!
Cal Poly degrees for Sale? (contains a picture of Osama Bin Laden in a Cal Poly Engineering Sweater)

So…. Google…. let my bloggers go!

Leroy has been writing a blog for NPR on his rodeo through cancer… something he himself has recently referred to as ‘bull riding.’ It is clear that he has a huge following and support… which although we all really fight this battle alone… because even the people we love are not always there at 3 am… still, this must be a source of comfort.
How people face death is often the true measure of who we are.
take another ride.

Well, it’s not often than Mom lags in any area of new technology… except her antique phone.
Finally, armed with all of her likes (full keyboard) and dislikes (touch phone), I found her a phone which will — among other things — allows her to auto into FaceBook.
Now, I won’t have to watch her struggle with her text messages and such.
Happy early birthday, sweetheart.

Every year we travel the short hop to the California Midstate Fair in Paso Robles, California!
Obviously, Karla loves the Carousel and the animals… but there is always so much more… I enjoy shopping with the vendors! There were a few I spent an inordinate amount of time… particularly the folks from Cutco … they make interesting cutlery. I’ll buy a knife to see how it works for me… and this one had a lot of appeal.
It’s as sharp as it looks!
I did happen to watch the diddy on “Modern Marvels” that appeared on the “History Channel”. The story was interesting and well told. Here it is!
Looks like my new knife will get a work out tomorrow… if I like it, I’ll buy more.
