It’s Monday. . . and is it ever a Monday.
Instead of a real post, here is another installment of “found poetry” — the search queries by which people have found their way to Science After Sunclipse:
- homeopathic remedies for crawly feeling on skin
- alien abductions supreme being
- hamster wheel paperweight
- why are humans inquisitive?
- songs sexual-deviancy
- using the power of human consciousness in curvature of spacetime
- awake with eyes closed and unable to move
- true name of God 216 letters long
- name for lack of sense of humor
I’m sitting in a lecture hall right now, trying to find out what day(s) in the next two weeks I will have to teach. As people filter in, returning from the lunch break, I realize that I will have to stand in front of them all and convince them that I know how to create computer simulations. Fortunately, the art of deception runs deep in my blood.
Are you saying that just because your mother makes her living writing proposals for Government contracts that you, in some way, have some in-born ability to tap dance through any computer simulation discussion? Or are you talking about your FATHER’s side of the family??
Simulations, schimulations. Just tell this computer-illiterate how you know what search strings are used to find your blog? Where do I go? Or do I have to (gulp) know some code meself?
I was thinking of Grandma Stacey when I wrote that bit about deception in the blood — actress, right? — but if writing proposals for Government contracts falls into the same category. . . .
Since this blog runs on WordPress, I use a WordPress plugin called WP-SlimStat that tells me how many visits I get, where they come to me from and such. I don’t know the best way to do the same thing at Blogger; sign up with SiteMeter, maybe?
Akusai of Action Skeptics sometimes runs posts of his best search terms. Since his is a Blogger blog, he might be a good person to ask about this functionality.
