Book of Odds

I know a lot of people who were worried when I went skydiving.  But they don't think twice about driving a car.  The odds of dying in a car accident are much high that dying falling out of an airplane.  Now there is a site where you can find and collect odds about you. The website is bookofodds.com.  I found out (by answering a few questions) that I had a 1 in 1 chance of reporting that I washed my hands after using a public restroom. So correct.  I also found out that I have a 1 in 1.9 chance of a fatal accident. Maybe not as accurate.  Anyway, kind of fun, and a way to get your mom to agree to your dangerous hobbies.  

Facebook Music – help don’t force

I was attempting to wish my friend a very happy birthday on facebook, when I realized that the new music gift option makes it so you can’t post anything without first dismissing or giving a music gift.

Anyone see a submit button?

Only after you x it out do you get to post.

Come on facebook. We know MySpace and iLike are kicking your music trash but don’t try to force music on us.

Learning Blogging Lessons

So I am still very new to blogging.  I was just checking my Google Analytics and was confused.  I was on the week view, but the graph was in the hundreds instead of the twenties, like usual.  So I found out why.  tuaw.com has linked to my post about Sony being clueless and sent about 100 visitors to my blog.  Here is a shot of the Analytics.

So the lesson here is you need high profile links to get more traffic.  Seems simple right? 🙂

Google is taking over my life…

The Google Dashboard launched a couple of days ago.  I opened it up and was surprised by what I saw.  I use 30 different Google Products.  If they wanted to, they could know everything about me.  Slightly scary, but I still trust them.  They just need to keep my trust.
