Technically Speaking

Today’s letter is S and I am unfortunately short of time to give this execise the attention that I would normally give it. No big words today. I basically looked for titles that have an ‘S’ word in it. I then looked for a s word that could be used as a verb for pointing to the title. Next time will give it a more involved effort.

What are my qualifications, you ask? Well, the queen would want it so. So step easily, yet quickly, as you enter this quagmire in this quaint quarantined quantum quadrant of the blogosphere. I will act as a qualified quidam that will quench the thirst of the qualmish and quandaried masses. Wow, that made me queasy! Let’s begin!

It has been a while since I have went on a linkfest excursion, so I had to do it today. Once again, by going through my refferer logs I was able to get a list of sites that I could/should recognize, and here they are.

Tiger Hangs on

Dizzy-Girl still has lots to say, and still more?

Mind boggling Neuroscience

You gotta admire a man with a plan.

Watch out BlogRolling, there is a new kid on the block.

I wish I were here

There is a day for everything.

Okay, today was a “Snow Day” here in the Metro Atlanta area, but I had to work. Tomorrow if suppose to be an “Ice Day”, I don’t expect to miss work then either.

Did someone forget to carry the 1?

Ahhhh, What can you say about good ole motivation?

No limits to spam…

Analyze your bloggish stylings.

I hate mortals, too!, oh, that’s mortal dilemmas….Damn speed reading!

It just scares me to think of the possibility.

Someone swat that nat buzzing in my ear. I know the pain, Glenn, although it seems like it was 30 years ago. Wait a tick, it was thirty years ago!

In the beginning…

I just get a kick out of this site.

This year has been quite busy for me so far. I have been trying to find time to do some quality blogging but other neccessities keep getting in the way. Hopefully this month I will be able to settle back to a normal routine. I have noticed that I haven’t pass out any link love this year so I would like to take some time to do so now. Here we go:

Blogging is a job — It definiately feels that way sometimes.

6 Million Lost Souls — I have the same aura, and I must say, “It feels good!”

SuperBowl Ads — I didn’t get to see any of the ads this year but I did se Janet Jackson’s boob. She snuck it pass the sensors/censors!!! Do you think she’ll make it back to another superbowl halftime show?

Caption Contest — I’m a fan of caption contest, so I will be looking forward to more from Jivha.

Super Bowl Entertainment — Another angle on the SuperBowl Halftime show. The comments happened to see the Janet’s tit just like me.
The places I have been state version — I have seen this floating around the web but in the WORLD version. Give it a try, if you have been outside of your state on a few occasions.

Dog Snot Diaries - I’ve changed format and relocated. — Dog Snot Diaries has made a move. If you are interested in seeing the new product, you will have to drop him a line.

I managed to snag a couple pics from a reliable source on Janet.

Please see Kate’s site for the other entrants for the letter P. Also, If you are into Traffic Jams, then you might want to create a link to this story as well.

Today I am trying to follow links from one site, through many sites, leading back to my own. I have know no idea where I will be going or what I will see, but I expect it to be quite a journey. I’m going to start with one of the greatest linkers I know - Jay Solo. Perhaps this will get me off to a good start.

HERE WE GO…

Digital Cameras - Jay is looking for a new camera. Any one have a suggestion for him?

Jay links to Acidman

GO FIGURE - Acidman talks about a nearly impossible feat. Well maybe it’s just a rare feat.

Paul Frankenstein links to smitten

not for the faint at heart - I thought that I watched my logs like a hawk. This is beyond my attention span. As I browse this site I find it to be very interesting, so I am adding it to my BlogRoll.

smitten links to Diablo

Well, Pussy Ranch is an interesting site but unfortunately, I’ll have to back up and try another route. If you have the time, check out the photos link here. This girl proves exhibitionism is alive and well.

Trying again…..
smitten links to Karen

TravelBlogue - The world through the eyes of some travelers.

Karen links to TroubledDiva

Soup In The Movies - My wife loves soup. This should interest her greatly.

J walk Blog links to Venomous Kate * I know Kate LOVES…LOVES… Did you hear me? LOVES martinis, but does she love Pork?

Sidebar: You all don’t know how hard it was to join all of these links to get back to my neighborhood. You really need to give it a try. Once I saw Joi Ito, I knew I would be able to get back. I’m not there yet but I wanted to put this note here. Hopefully I can get back to my site in only a few more links.

If You Build It, They Will Come - I think she spelled “come” incorrectly.

Venomous Kate slinks to Tiger

My only comment is I cannot comment - Ahhh, No Comment

Tiger links to ME

OK now! That was a tough challenge. I’m happy to see that my theory is correct. Maybe we can figure out the degrees of separation on the web. It would have to be less than six. What do you all think? Venomous Kate, I would love to see you try this exercise. I’m sure it should be a bit easier for you.

UPDATE: Now that I am a bit rested, I went through this chain-link searching for typos, misspelled words, and wrong words. I think I have it all sorted out. I haven’t double checked the links though. I’m afraid that I can’t do this thoroughly, so please let me know if I messed one up.

Hissed Venomous Kate. I love playing this game when I can find the time. I have an abundance of it this evening. Since I would like to be a part of the Haut monde, I will play this game the way I always do, with my own twist. Today the twist will be idioms that start with the letter H. BTW Kate, I like the way you stepped up your diction.

hand out As in, a much deserved hand out of link love.

I’m checking the 12 last updated site to find title that catch my eye. I believe that if you title your postings with the right amount of zing, someone is bound to stop and read. So, if you have the nack of creating eye catching titles then your blog should be doing fairly well. I struggle with my titles all the time, but I hope that they are approaching eye catching. My hit counter will be the judge.

Today, I’m passing out some link-love, but I’m going by titles that catch my eye. Once again, I’m looking at my referral logs to find candidates to feature. True, I’m a little/lot obessed with the logs but it amuses me. That’s all that really matters, right? Let’s see if the title I like are what you all like. Here we go…

I’m getting hooked on sifting through my log files, usually I check through SiteMeter’s logs but I can only get the last hundred visitors at any given time and like today, I was away from my computer for several hours and about 200 visitors had come through. Most of that is funneled over by search engines and I do welcome the traffic but I would love to see more bloggers enjoy my site. My brother tells me to be careful of what I ask for, well, perhaps he is right, he usually is. Anyway, I just want to take this time to give thanks to some of the sites that send a good deal of traffic this way. Here you are listed in no particular order. Okay, I lied, they’re listed in the order of importance most hits.
