Link contamination

Posted by Ben on November 4th, 2003

Ah, the joys of Google - somehow, someone found my page through the search term ‘albuquerque weather rss’. How did they find that, you ask? Let’s see…

* A post about the weekend Marcie and I were in Albuquerque - And I’ll never misspell it again now!
* Random posts about the weather
* RSS is one of those little buttons on the right hand side of the screen.

The amazing part is that these three unrelated posts lead to me being the #10 most relevant answer on Google as of today. Come on now, really, I’m not that important!

Here’s some fun facts about my new home, for those who were curious (or if not curious, bored enough that they’re reading this article):
* Lewis County, NY has twice as many cows as it does people.
* It has 7 stoplights. I drive through 3 of them on my 1-mile commute to work.
* There is no Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, Lowe’s, Home Depot, etc. in Lewis County. I’ve got a 30-45 minute drive minimum to any of those.

Truly, I am living in the sticks now. Fortunately, I can get digital cable and cable modem service, so I’m not totally isolated here…
