Number 1 Tim Bishop in Google! I was browsing John Hiler's article on google bombing when it occurred to me to put my name in Google and see what came up. To my great surprise, my lame personal and family website, TheBishop.net, came up on the top. I've had that site for a couple of years, mostly so that I could play around with HTML, Linux, Perl, etc, and so that I could share pictures with family members. As far as I know, it has never shown up on Google before. I wonder what it is that jumped it temporarily to the top of the Tim Bishop heap? Blogging on this blog? I assume that top ranking will quickly head over to my namesake who is running for Congress, but I will enjoy my 10 minutes of minifame while it lasts. What a hoot.

Congress to really investigate 9-11? I was walking down the street last week and glanced at USA Today. I saw a story that I didn't see in any of the other papers, and haven't seen boo about since. USA Today reported that the House of Representatives voted to set up an independent commission to investigate the 9-11 terrorist attacks, much to Dubya's displeasure. 25 Republicans joined the Democrats in voting for it. Anybody else see anything about this? I wonder what Bush is afraid will be revealed if there is an independent commission? Permalink  12:56:45 AM   Google It!  What do you think?  [] comments.

A fitting commentary on the blog wars As a newcomer to the blogging community, I've been amazed at the little wars that rage through the community. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, since I saw the same thing on usenet and the WELL. Still, I find it disappointing. Today I found what seemed like a fitting commentary on the wars, funny as hell as well. A picture is worth ... And if a picture is worth a thousand words, how much is flash movie worth? This site, http://emptybottle.org/ is really funny. The guy, whoever he is, has lots of goodies. Recommended. Tip o the hat to the Winerlog for the link.   Permalink  12:35:18 AM   Google It!  What do you think?  [] comments.
