Recent Googlings
Why is it that folks who find Planned Obsolescence via net searches mostly show up in the wee hours of the night?
And why are they searching for:
- what’s after postmodernism
- none of us is as dumb as all of us
- times roman
- helen ludo or genius or brilliant or smart “last samurai”
- rick moody, opinions
- advance reading
- on leave in academia
- intuitionist book summer reading
- greenblatt mla tenure book
- unspoken helen “sports night”
- verizon can you hear me now?
That last is my favorite. I get an average of a hit a day off those commercials. And always around 3 am.

Of course, by listing those phrases, you are increasing the chance that someone will come to your site by doing a search on one of them. ;-)

Gee you folks get all the luck! All I find in my referral logs is searches for hundreds of variations on “how to build a window seat” and the occasional “duality Nietzsche” or some such. Apparently window seats are hugely popular home improvement projects though I had never heard of building one before I embarked on it. But I’m still waiting for the types of Google weirdness that I read of on other people’s blogs.

I got here because I wanted to find a critique of planned obsolescence & Capitalism and instead got a US person’s boring memoirs about his travel trips.
The irony, I suppose, is intentional, but I have to say blogs merely clutter the internet up with even more narcissistic crap.
Please let this site disappear in the required few months as its obsolescence becomes apparent…

Everyone’s a critic. And Bob’s a critic who doesn’t even know how to narrow a Google search.
