Google is great. It brings together all the things we like into one convenient place. Except Social Networking. They havent quite done that right yet. However, things are starting to get a little scary. Google Adsense will now show you adverts (on webpages that host them) that are relevant to things you have searched for before. I never agreed to that. Oh wait, that updated Google Terms Of Service I agreed to recently? Crap.

Here’s an example of how it works:

  1. I search for a movie I want to see, using Google Search of course.
  2. I inevitably get to the IMDB where I go off on a tangent.
  3. Five hours later I visit a website which uses Google Ads.
  4. An advert showing the movie I searched for hours earlier pops up.
  5. I click it.
  6. Google (and the site owner, although much less so) earn money.

So e-Commerce isnt dead. It is just Pwned by Google.

Even more annoying is the fact that the site which showed me the ad based on my search results was my own! Do Google pwn me?

25 Documents

The Lifehacker website recently published an article about the most important 25 documents to have at hand should the end become you suddenly. Designed to help your family/friends deal with your financial obligations it is quite useful; although designed for the USA so some stuff isn’t relevant to the UK.
I don’t normally read the comments but this particular one caught my eye, probably because I have a very similar state of mind :)

I’ma get a “Keep me on life support perpetually and send the bill to the county” order, because, hey, if I’m brain-dead, it’s not like I’ve got better things to do. I may as well just hang out until they invent a cure for brain-death. I suppose I’ll have to follow it up with a “If my family is paying, since I won’t pay more than $8 / day for parking, I guess unplug me after $8 worth of life-support” clause.
Also, I need to find an undertaker who’s willing to dress / make-up me like Michael Jackson in Thriller, and then pose me in the casket with one hand up for high-fives and the other with fingers curled to hold a beer, and get one of those motion-sensing springboards to pop me out of there every time little old ladies come by. It’s either kick-ass funeral party, or donate my body to science (preferably something more exciting that mortuary science: launch me into space, put my brain in a jar and hook it up to electrodes, use me as a crash-test dummy, etc. — better yet, replace my organs with robot parts and reanimate me like a techno-Frankenstein).

Beautiful, right?

30 Years and Counting

February 3rd, 2012 • NewsNo Comments »

Solar Powered Windmill

My 30th birthday came and went. It seemed to get swallowed up with my moving home, although I still had a lovely day (Side note: Mission Impossible 4 is probably the best from the franchise).
I’m now living in a proper house with my partner so I’m realising quickly I’ll have to adapt from the apartment lifestyle I’ve been used to since 2004/5. I’ve got STAIRS! What’s that all about?
