I find that scheduling dinner time with the girls early in the day makes the scheduled break much more enjoyable. Of course they are thus beholden to my schedule, but that's what family is all about. Oh, and of course weekends are now holy. No work. Except No Agenda, but that's really a hobby.... Welcome to my world Neil :)

I did a check and it seems true. Car insurance compared to "car insurance" is a difference of 56,000,000 (car insurance) compared to 48,600,000 ("car insurance"). Then I did a less competitive phrase (car stereo systems) 5,610,000 and ("car stereo systems") 101,000. Big difference. For my last test I used car stereo and "car stereo" . Results were nearly the same. I’ve never thought about that with the idea behind what you said about broad searches compared to exact searches. I did a check and it seems true.

Thu, 07 Aug 2008 15:59:56 +0000 http://neildixon.com/?p=960#comment-78526 Hmm... I'm a little cynical about Lucas' move with this latest movie/tv thing. Something smacks of a roadblock forcing him to re-think his plans, or perhaps he simply could not get the TV deal he wanted. So, shove out a very publicised movie, get the audience chomping for more (a cliff-hanger ending that will only be resolved in the TV series would help), then go back to the TV network and force a more attractive deal... not that I care, just pondering the possibilities.

His "clone wars" animated series is going to kick-off with a movie, then immediately move to the small screen. I don't go to the movies very often, but if it's a lead in to a whole tv series of Star Wars stuff, I might be tempted by this. And rather then the movie being a drawn-out version of a well-established tv show, it's going to be something new and exciting.

Sure, it's a slow burn, but how else do people find out about these things? If they see the digg icon enough times, the might investigate what it's all about.
