Today’s thought has a nice Zen quality that can help calm the raging mind that this modern life afflicts most of us with.
There’s no fire like passion,
no seizure like anger,
no snare like delusion,
no river like craving.
-Dhammapada, 18, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Someone over at MetaBaby used one of our LlamaTails one that site. The site’s concept is interesting, in that, anyone can make a new page on the site and anyone can then edit that page. An interesting Internet art project, if you ask me. You didn’t ask me, but if you did.
A new g33ky Internet “sport” is making it way around development departments and IT groups around the world, it’s Googlewhacking.
Google’s index of web pages is the largest of all the major search engines. For most searches Google can return literally a million pages that matches your search term.
On the opposite end of the spectrum are the keywords that return only one single result on Google. Gary Stock is busy finding these combinations in near obsessive-compulsive manner. So much so that he’s created a game, complete with rules, that he calls “Googlewhacking.”
Googlewhacking is simple. Find those search terms that return only a single result on Google. A few of his examples are, microsoft crenelation, orchestrator bamboozling, metronome dewpoint, and plectrum irradiation.
While writing on this new “sport,” I was able to uncover my own Googlewhack: Llama esemplastic. Of course now that I’ve written about it, as soon as google indexes this site again, it’ll no longer be a true whack.
Can you discover any Googlewhacks?
