ex machina

the blognoise problem

while not really stating anything new, the timing of the latest orlowski piece on google fixing the "blognoise" problem is interesting because i've become increasingly aware of the once amusing and soon to aggravating problem:

""They didn't foresee a tightly-bound body of wirers," reckons Stock. "They presumed that technicians at USC would link to the best papers from MIT, to the best local sites from a land trust or a river study - rather than a clique, a small group of people writing about each other constantly. They obviously bump the rankings system in a way for which it wasn't prepared.""

what's wierder is that i've been finding myself quiet regularly in the top 20 of searches that i'm doing. i hardly think anyone looking for real information is amused. i think they should sequester blogs off into their own little space not unlike they did with usenet. why this would be controversial to anyone is beyond me. this is exactly why technorati is so useful.

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
