Notice that I filed this under "Personal"?

Yes, it really does exist!

And, some of it is pretty good. What, you don't believe me? Well, there's a website dedicated to that very subject, Adherents.com. They list pretty much all the big hitters, both in science-fiction and religion. You can search here based on author, religious affiliation, and title. It's really fascinating to see what some of my favorite authors think about religion and how it fits into their work. Or, doesn't, as the case may be.

This is going to be a fight!

But, I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get my rank back. Well, short of spending money! Okay, so far, I've gotten the Googlespammer to remove images and text that relate to my website.

The only thing I've found so far about this is a spam reporting page at Google: Report a Spam Result

"He's go the whole blog, in his hands!"

My darling wife sent me a link to the World as a Blog, which is as fun a site as I've seen. It shows you a map of the world and, as registered blogs update, it pops up those updates in little windows! How cool!

Now, it's Friday, go have fun!

On Google, at least.

Frankly, it doesn't look good.

for awhile, I hope.

Say what?!?

Okay, for those of you not familiar with Japanese culture, bento boxes are fancy lunches that co-dependant mothers make for their kids. They can get quite elaborate and are often quite tasty! Oh, well, yeah, you can get them at train stations, too. In fact, every little town along the railways in Japan allegedly have their own "specialty" bento.
So, this BentoMoBlog is the Japanese equivallent of an American school lunch blog. Nutty. But, oddly fun, too....

I've got the new job!

I got the call from the headhunter about 3:30pm yesterday telling me that Oceaneering International had met my minumum salary. So, in some respects it's a bit of a lateral move, but the benefits are way, way better than anything I've had since I left Hyatt. And, of course, it'll be a very interesting job and place to work.

After the past couple of weeks...
