This may or may not be quicker than the way you do it, seems the key is having it spread out flatly which should be considered in the time of the technique.

Google Ad triggers
I always find it incredibly interesting what verbiage in my post trigger the relevant Google ads on the right. Of course they are trying to sell you something, but it’s always interesting how it picks up on the words or phrases it thinks it can monetize. For instance, overnight ALL my ads turned into “diet” ads the moment I posted the word “diet” in a previous post. It will be interesting if a STRONGER word or phrase will break that hold that the word diet now has on the ad producer.

Still Trying to make it Daily
Seems I don’t have enough time to write a daily blog like I had hoped. It seems that something of Interest is really just something of interest to me. But that’s what it’s about anyway. This original experiment was to come up with one new and interesting item a day. I’ve failed on that point. If anyone other than me is interested in reading this all the better, hope you’re entertained or at least amused. As with this post I keep adding more to it to make it better, just my perfectionist nature coming out.
Here’s a really interesting online game. I guess he couldn’t call it “Spiderman,” but that’s what it really reminds me of.
Okay already, not sure if anybody is really reading this, but I’m going to try to do better. Just got really busy! Hey, somebody make a comment or two!
My son asked me the other day what a.m. and p.m. mean. Of course I could tell him what they mean, but what do those letters stand for. Turn’s out they’re Latin of course! My first guess for p.m. was close, “post meridian” but couldn’t come up with the a.m. A.M. is ante meridiem (a.m., from Latin, literally “before midday”) and post meridiem (p.m., “after midday”).

Those guys that put together the Mentos / Diet Coke explosion extravaganza have got another experiment. This time it’s the Domino Effect. Check it out.
Coming up with a completely new, intereseting item a day is tough! Don’t be angry if some of the items seem silly or inconsequential.
