Chupacabra Ad Servers

It’s been a few minutes since my last Conspiracy Theory posts, so I naturally couldn’t resist this bit of the news.

Honest to Google, the first thing I thought was “Wow, who would benefit from making ad serving so dangerous? Now, webmasters will have to go through ‘highly trusted’ ad servers like those Google could provide … Wait a minute!”

Now before you think I’ve finally gone the way of the UFO abductionists, think about the Big G’s latest bitch slap to every site that dared to run text link ads that were not Google’s. I say if it walks like a Chupacabra and sucks blood like a Chupacabra, it’s a Chupacabra.

Food For Thought

This stands as the coolest idea evar, but what, this is only the new millennium?

Put your brain and your insatiable hunger for games to good use by helping to provided food for those who have real insatiable hunger. This is so simple … hey, maybe it’s what Google had planned for their ads in video games. And All this time I was insulting them and their charitable intentions.

Gak! (Sorry just choked on my bitter bitter laughter.) Off to play FreeRice.

OLPC Rocks

Now if this doesn’t get you behind the One Laptop Per Child program you’re extremely cold-hearted and evil and/or you work for Microsoft, Google or the RIAA.

Look at those faces. Man, the world just opened up for those kids and they’ll even see their own little chunk of it in a different light. This is one of the coolest projects of the millennium.

eBay The Smart Way

Terapeak’s free services are enough to boost your profits big time, but if you want to take selling to the next level, they also offer paid services that can give you the lowdown on your competition and info on the hottest eBay auction categories.

Most useful.

Call On Google

Why do I not trust this? Why must I be so cynical?

Oh. Right. It’s Google. Well, at least we know they’ll never use this for evil. What would be the benefit of that?

Oh. Right. It’s Google. I’ve had to create a new blog category for them. See if you can guess which one it is …

Good? Bad?

Remember the days when you could tell the good guys from the bad?

I don’t know who to root for any more and I’m not sure there is anyone out there worth rooting for. I miss the good old days of information free for alls and “Do no evil.” Whose clutches do we avoid these days?

I’m tipping to entirely open source. Let companies and people earn their money the old fashioned way.

Way To Go, Malaysia

Now this is the enthusiasm for space that we need to rekindle the world over – beginning at home. I know, wars and all that, but hopefully the next administration will will be a lot more conducive to life in space and on Earth.

Rockets belong in space, not on city streets.

From cruises to ski trips, safaris to seaside retreats, you can find what you need. The site offers information on the types of accommodations you can expect on a package holiday from what types of meals may be available to the kinds of entertainment you may experience.

There’s really no limit on what you can do, so book your holiday today.

WordPress Word Count Plugin

If you do any blogging at all, you know you need this. It’s Leprakhauns Word Count WordPress Plugin and it does just what it says.

But unlike other plugins it doesn’t make you save or post your writing before you can get your count. How lame is that anyway? Leprakhauns does it on the fly.

I don’t have to tell you that WordPress plugins are still free, do I?
