    Jack Human… WTH?!? 

    Tracy Morgan is one of the funniest comedians out there right now.  I am always laughing when I watch him.  I found this clip on YouTube.  I wish I could embedded the link but CBS has prevented it.  So please click on the following link to check it out.

    Tracy Morgan is Funny!

    In the clip Tina Fey discusses a funny story about Tracy Morgan on the show.  For someone reason, Tracy though Hugh Jackman’s name was Jack Human.  Tina does a great Tracy Morgan impression.  Tina Fey and Tracy Morgan are connected through the show 30 Rock if you didn’t know.

    Hugh Jackman is Jack Human?!?

        Hi Sadensy,

        Which search engine is FireFox’s search set to? You should see an icon to the left of where you type in text for a search. If you hover your mouse over the icon it will tell you what engine you are using.

    Generating more traffic with Google image search 

    I came across a fascinating article on the topic.  I have seen traffic like this before and this article example it.  My Google bonus article probably benefited from this technique.  Below I have captured an except from this great article.  If you check out the page source, you will see how I am trying to use this technique.

    A traffic alternative that you might be overlooking

    Only little webmasters and bloggers ever realize and utilize this method. Google image search really brings traffic, and traffic you’ll never ever expect… more

    Bonus from Google 

    I don’t know how it happens.  I saw a huge amount of traffic today on epblog.eliotpearson.com.  I thought this was weird since I hardly update this blog.  Google’s image search ranked an image that I linked to extremely high.  I think I understand what happened but I would be only guessing.  I am happy for the traffic and will not complain.:)

    What’s a HotBot? 

    I was checking out a list of current search engines.  I saw HotBot and quickly went to the page.  I began to reminisce.  In the middle of the nostalgia my son asked me, “What’s a HotBot?”  I began to think and realized this is foreign to him and was before his time.  I told him it was a search engine like Google.  He then said, “Okay… So, WHAT is a HotBot?”  I was at a lost and remember it was a very useful while in college, but I never knew what HotBot stood for.  I am pretty sure it was probably some cool product name like Tiger or Java.  Looking back I would use this search engine for everything.  If I needed an address… HotBot.  If I needed research for a paper… HotBot.  Well, you get the point.

    After checking the site out I realized a startling fact.  I still search the way I did while I was in college.  I am not sure if this is a good or bad thing.  I am still able to find what I need.  I am kinda happy my decade old techniques still work.  All that money spent on college at least I walked away with something that was useful.:)
