WordPress delivers higher ranking on Google Image Search

May 16, 2011

It seems to me that images published HERE show up more than any other free webpage.

Thanks,  Wordpress. I’m promoting my webstore. http://www.zazzle.com/gregvan* 

I figure with the TINY sales actually made on my zazzle webstore, advertising for pay is out of the question. I tried the $75 free Google adwords and have received many visitors… If I was actually paying for that service I would be taking a loss on my store everyday… While I recommend the free trial, be sure to cancel before they start charging you real money.

Yes, I had a fun evening playing with my image manipulation program… I could have wasted my life with a video game but it has been delivering error messages instead of fun. One fact of life to consider, If you do “cloud computing” all your work has to travel thru the internet to the server where your program resides. If you use WHAT’S INSIDE THE BOX, you do not need to wait for all that communications software to perform. Often, the internet is simply broken here in Eureka, CA due to the fact that there is ONE fiber optic cable connecting us to the world. Conclusion: Think  Inside the BOX. Do your work on your own machine, save it on your own hard disk and then later… PUBLISH.

Avoid computing “FADS” and do what works best. Sure, I appreciate the fact that other people will give me disk space for free. Thanks. That way I have a safety backup if my machine fails. No, not IF… When. It is a certainty that my machine will fail so it makes sense to store your stuff “in the cloud” in many places…  Picassaweb, Office Live, Yahoo… Remember, if you just store it in one place, they can delete your files at any time. For example: GeoCities… So make multiple copies and store in many places… GEE, that sounds like the Human Brain and Holographic Memory.

I saw an article that says tall obese men are at risk for blood clots. It really got my attention… I have GOT to get short.

Math Joke… Jailbait Equation…

It reminds me that Numbers have flavor, meaning and emotions attached to them… Like: 61 makes me think of Highway 61 a song by Bob Dylan and sung by Johnny Winter… also the main Northern migration route from the South to Chicago or Detroit… Many people moved along this road to take JOBS in the city. 5150, Number 9, Love Potion #9, 42, 420… many numbers have flavors of their own… for a complete list read: http://gregvanderlaan.com/numbers.aspx

Do the Math: a silly story… by gregvanderlaan.com

September 20, 2009

During the early 1970’s a gentleman and his wife were working in Palo Alto, California and he discovered the key to enlightenment. He published it as a book and became a leader of a religious group very popular with the high tech crowd surrounding Apple and HP. To put it briefly, the key is 01101011001110110100010001… and it went on like that for a hundred pages finally ending with the amazing conclusion that astonished the world and allowed the couple to earn a million dollars from royalties… 11010011100001110101100110.

A few years passed and the wife made a public statement: “While my husband is a fine fellow and a wonderful father to our children, I sadly must inform you that he is almost entirely wrong about the key to enlightenment. I have been doing the math and can state that there is a missing part… it is:10010100110001001011101110… and it went on like that for a hundred pages finally ending with the amazing conclusion that astonished the world and allowed the couple to earn another million dollars from royalties… 00101100011110001010011001.

And the people of the world did the math… and she was right… while each of the strings of zeros and ones by themselves showed part of the key to true enlightenment, if you add the two numbers together, they equal:1111111111111111111111111…. and it goes on for a hundred pages finally ending as you would expect… 111111111111111111111111111.

Idea Factory at work: This joke came to me pre-written in a dream, all I did was type it into the computer before I forgot it… Yes, it was slightly different in the dream, more visual. They took the number over to RSA Associates and asked them to study it. When plotted on a rectangular grid 3.5 inches wide by 2 inches tall the numbers form a labyrinth in the shape of an eye… the gentleman had the eye printed on business cards… with a one printed as a black dot and the zero printed as a white space… then years later, the wife had similar cards printed on mylar with the one printed as a white dot and the zero printed as a clear space… when you overlay her card on his they form a totally white image… but just before the image whites out, the eye appears to wink at you… as if it was laughing along with you enjoying a private joke.

Well, here is that joke.
