Bouquets to Art

I've posted some photos from this year's Bouquets to Art over at www.rightreading.com. This year it was at the de Young again, instead of the Legion.

I've finally got around to putting several things up on the web that I've been intended to post. What's new is listed here.

Herd on the Street

Check out this new feature at my companion site, www.rightreading.com.

Bush changes a light bulb

This picture purports to show GWB "pitching in" to change a light fixture in New Orleans.

Me: How many presidents does it take to change a light bulb?

Carol: Forget the light bulb, just change the president.

Still a ways to go, however

Okay, I'm going to shut up about Google now. But first, I want to say that using the "site:" search command I find that Google has information about 126 pages from the site that I turned off more than six months ago, but only 22 pages from the new site with the same (or better) content. (Plus, the old site had 580 links or mentions.) Okay, nothing more about Google. (Unless I change my mind.)

Free at last!

Well, I'm back in Google's index, after only a couple weeks of e-mails.

I will give them that they did take care of it finally (good thing I don't live in China). But it's a little scary when a single entity has so much power to conceal or make visible parts of the web. That's one reason why it's a good idea to check out other search engines from time to time. I have some info about this here.
