The thing about Squidoo.com is that it has a google page rank of 6 – page rank gold. A link from squidoo is worth more than other sites. I am going to put a few of my essays there and go crazy with the links. You can also make money from the ads on Squidoo. […]

JB’s Ghost Movie List
Wednesday, September 12, 2007
John played fast and loose with what he calls a Ghost Movie claiming that he couldn’t think of that many good ones. I disagree. Harvey is not a ghost story, even if it is one of my favorite movies. Basically I don’t think there are ten great ghost movies, as the genre is inherently ridiculous, […]

9/11
Tuesday, September 11, 2007

Don’s top 20 SciFi list
Monday, September 10, 2007
I know Don through poker, but it turns out he’s a distant cousin. Anyway here’s his list and comments (and the thing was played by James Arness, better known as Matt Dillon in the 50’s horse opera): I put these on my Netflix queue. I believe I saw The Thing years ago. Does Peter Arnes […]
NPT vs. NPS pipe and my plumbing project
Monday, September 10, 2007
I learned today that the black pipe used for gas installation uses NPT or tapered thread and not NPS, which is not tapered. The difference is that the tapered pipe self-seals and does not need pipe dope. (I’m going to dope the hell out of it anyway, just to be safe.) I am sure you […]
Google getting lost
Monday, September 10, 2007
I’ve been comparing clicks on my pages with Google ads to what is reported by MyBlogLog. MyBlogLog is a free utility that keeps track of links to and from your pages. It is interesting because it reports on where you readers are going when they leave your page. MyBlogLog typically reports about ten times as […]
