I found 41 of the bottles out of 88 on the Absolut Search Game. Granted I had a lot of problems hitting them as well as the original poster. Play it here. You get some free desktop Wallpaper out of it which makes it today's features desktop wallpaper. (Hey, two birds with one stone. :))

Gwen needs some fashion assistance. Since I know nearly a thousand people see this blog everyday, I'm sure one or two of you could help. :) edit: She removed the post for some reason. (Actually she changed the date) Oh well....

I put these up yesterday but didn't have a change to post about it. Kim Possible Screencaptures- "And the MoleRat will be CGI" Again, they come from many different sources on the net such as ARA, Ron Stoppable's Forums, and others. They are feel to use to all, just don't kill my bandwidth. :)

Already 500+ today and we still have 8 hours to go.

On average, 5k+ page views just on this blog alone each day. That's not counting the webcomic, nor the backups for each site and both of those do very well.

But only three comments in that same time period? And one of those were my own.

RALEIGH, NC--Only hours after the Carolina Hurricanes won the NHL Championship Monday night in a hard-fought Game 7 against the Edmonton Oilers, North Carolina Gov. Michael Easley mobilized the National Guard to contain over two dozen members of what he described as "some sort of depraved, violent, heretofore unheard-of gang calling themselves the Hurricanes."

Read about the rest of it here. Please remember that it's in Raleigh, I mean fictional.

Occasionally, we'll talk about Google and page rank over at the WordPress.com Support forums. In my travels, I came across a site that keeps tabs on when Google does its updating of the databases and pageranks.

Looks like we're about due. :)

From here:

BERLIN (Reuters) - On the day the World Cup final was played in 2002, the Caribbean island of Montserrat played the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan in a specially arranged match between the two lowest ranked teams in the world.
Bhutan, ranked 202nd, beat Montserrat, then ranked 203rd and last in FIFA's rankings 4-0 in front of 15,000 people at home high in the Himalayas. After the match the players got together and watched Brazil beat Germany 2-0 in the real World Cup final on TV.

FIFA's membership has now grown to 205 countries but last-placed American Samoa — unenviably on the wrong end of a 31-0 world record defeat to Australia five years ago, will not play 204th-ranked Turks & Caicos Islands on the day of the World Cup final this year.

"It's a shame," FIFA spokesman Markus Siegler said at FIFA's daily briefing, "because it was a great occasion and there was a great documentary made about it, but there are no plans to repeat the idea."

Will Video for Food gives us the lowdown on what those guys from Buckfield, Maine made with their Diet Coke and Mentos video. He takes his information from a Wall Street Journal article.

Surprised no one's mention what the cost of the bandwidth was for Revver though, the host site for the video in question. :)
