Children Of The Sun
June 02, 2006
(Instead of writing a big long article on one topic I’ve decided to accumulate and share any news, tools, and of course oddities (who doesn’t like to go to the freak show at the circus) that I’ve come across on the web in the past two weeks.)
Spicy Spam Kabobs Anyone…..
I confess that I use Gmail for my personal email accounts and generally I find that it is a pretty good interface. I have to laugh though whenever I check or clean out my spam folder. You see I have Gmail web clips turned “on� and here is a sampling of what pops up every time I go into that folder….
Spam Swiss Pie - Bake 45-55 minutes or until eggs are set
Ginger Spam Salad - Serves 1, refrigerate overnight
Spicy Spam Kabobs - Serve with hot cooked rice
Spam Fajitas - Serves 8, add extra salsa if desired
Creamy Spam Broccoli Casserole - Makes 8 servings
Vineyard Spam Salad - Combine grapes, spam, peapods and onions in large bowl
Spam Vegetable Strudel - Bake 20 minutes or until golden, serve with soy sauce
Mmmmmmmmm, they sound delicious! I’m not sure if this is a joke by the crew at Google or if it’s just a consequence of contextual search robots, but either way it’s pretty funny and good for a laugh every day.
Google Bot’s To Search Landing Pages….
They been talking about the importance of this for some time, I’m glad to see that they are going to back it up with action. There’s a lot of moaning about this in the industry but I welcome it as something that will only help those of us doing it the right way.
Sick Of The Stupid Travelocity Gnome….
Good site that gave accurate results quickly. Make sure to check the rates though as the lowest available maybe for seniors or veterans etc.
Yahoo To FINALLY Change It’s Interface
I’ve received two voice messages from Yahoo in the past week telling me of the impending doom errrrrrrrr changes that will be taking place in the Yahoo Search Marketing interface. I do anticipate glitches, who of us have ever changed anything without some kind of glitch, but I am crossing my fingers and hoping the changes actually take place. The current interface is slow and cumbersome, and I for one can’t wait for the new interface. FYI, they are telling me to anticipate these changes in 3rd quarter of 2006.
How Do I Get Him On My Linked-In List?
Just When You Thought You’d Seen It All…..
Doggie bag anyone? After I finished laughing I wondered if/why PETA hasn’t been all over this.
Oh, and if you’re wondering where I came up with the title, I heard the song for the first time in years today and thought I would remind us all of a great old classic (go to the audio section to find the track).
Well, that’s all for today. Have a great weekend and have fun on the web!

Re: the spam recipes on Gmail: that's a manually-inserted bit of humor from the Gmail engineers. And yes, the recipes are real (though no, I haven't actually tried them personally!)
And about qixo.com -- interesting! Hadn't seen that one before. I'll have to try this along with www.kayak.com (my current favorite domestic-flight search engine).
