David Matchett: Radio/Blogging

Actual information

So the referer record has resulted in my learning something completely unexpected about 2 of the authors I liked as a child: Patrick O'Connor of Black Tiger at Indianapolis and Leonard Wibberley of The Mouse that Roared are one and the same person! Full name Leonard Patrick O'Connor Wibberley.

This is your mind... is the one and only Google result for someone's search today: "101 elephant jokes + Robert Blake".

Who would ever have thought?

"Did you mean ...?"

Misspelling. That's one way to get 2 out of 4 returns from a Google search. Here's another. For those new to the narrative, these are not my searches but anonymous others' that pull up my booklist as a result. I didn't anticipate this, but it's fun, for some primative reason. ("Oh yes, the pleasure we share with the great apes of having someone Google our website..." Thus Carol).

Does your news aggregator do enclosures? In that case here's a new tune nightly. Then there are Chris Lydon's interviews, also arriving regularly.

Lista de Libros

There's a "referer" page for Radio weblogs, and mine was always empty, until I posted the booklist; now it's getting all sorts of hits from Google and Yahoo. People searching for book titles or authors. Nothing to do with me, but interesting nonetheless. John Fowles. Up the Down Staircase. And today an odder link: someone translated the entire list into Spanish. I assume I'll never know who.

I don't expect this link to last, but just for the record, the post that mentioned Gleick was picked up on DayPop (whatever that is exactly--clearly some sort of Cream Rises thing).
