Dave hates WinerLog and WinerLog hates Dave. This we all know, right? Well, why then does Dave continue to let WL use editthispage.com as their weblog host? Doesn't Dave own (or at least run) Userland? Manilasites (of which Editthispage.com is part) is full. Wouldn't Dave rather have someone less vocally critical of him in that last spot? Ok, this is probably way out in left field, but if Dave and I switched places, I would love for their to be a "Dane Carlson sucks" weblog. The exposure would bring me fame beyond my wildest dreams. Of course, Dave and I have our own respective positions in life. If we reversed Radio would never have been developed... So its better this way, but if we did switch, atleast I'd be able to grow a beard.

Dull Men's Club: "We keep hearing people say, "A watched pot never boils." We have proved that this is not true. We like to watch pots of water boil. We have been doing it for quite a while now. The water always boils. We were going to do a scientific experiment to see whether a watched-pot boils comes to a boil slower than a not-watched-pot. We found that we couldn't do this. Without watching the pot, we would not be able to see when it starts boiling."

Google is planning to ban all doorway pages made by WebPosition Gold. "Autopages or "doorway pages" can be generated by such programs, giving prominent placement to certain words and phrases that a Web site operator thinks are likely to be searched for by consumers."

Thomas Wagner spent the night in Winnemucca in 1980 and still that the "largest potatoe field in the US is near there. It was a nicely quiet place back then." Now you know why I love Winnemucca.
