The Birth of My First Widget: I'm officially a Geek!
Today I am happy to announce the birth of my first widget.
Completely self taught we've been trying to conceive for 2 months now.
Conceived in bed late night a day and a half ago; I rushed to the keyboard yesterday morning and began writing the code on my blogger template. The birth was smooth, with few complications. Other than the fact the blogger code over ruled my color choice on the buttons, and the bigged up letters kept appearing off the button; but we got that fixed and simpled it down pretty good I think.
I've been so busy I forgot to send out an announcement, or cards to anyone until today; Thanks everyone for your support. Have a some code, enjoy!
I'm officially a Geek!
I know it's nothing new, but it's my widget and I love it!
SCIENCE

Mobile phone use 'linked to tumour'
Long-term users of mobile phones are significantly more likely to develop a certain type of brain tumour on the side of the head where they hold their handsets, according to new research.
A large-scale study found that those who had regularly used mobiles for longer than 10 years were almost 40 per cent more likely to develop nervous system tumours called gliomas near to where they hold their phones.
The new research, to be published later this year in the International Journal of Cancer, is the second study to suggest increased risks of specific types of brain tumours in regions close to where mobile phone emissions enter the head.
However, a number of other studies have found no increased health risks associated with mobile phone use.

Super Bowl Marketing on DIGG
On January 16.2007 an article appeared on DIGG, the democratically edited news site.
This DIGG story placement was a carefully engineered piece; it was designed to create a buzz Diggers think they are joining.
This is a new type of marketing campaign developed by SEOmoz.org called a Viral Video Product Placement. This is how it works...
This is the piece that appeared on DIGG:
The Title of the piece draws you in; people like to read about themselves or connect with a group of people like themselves. The first line promises a cartoon by clicking on the story. Now your at SEOmoz.org and viola the Cartoon:
The site looks like an ordinary new-business blog site, inter-office chatter. The cartoon is funny, so you read the piece about blogging.
It turns out the community of people here are really nice. You find out that Someone knows Someone who's going to propose marriage during the Super Bowl! Clicking the link confirms JP is going to pop the question. Not only that, but there's some Buzz developing around this, a radio spot, an appearance on Good Morning America... ..and a marketing company is involved and "the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital will also benefit from the buzz"
The DIGG story placement was a carefully engineered piece of writing; it was designed to create the buzz they pretend you are now joining.
This is a new type of marketing campaign called a Viral Video Product Placement, according to Storybids.com the strategy plays out like this:
To sum up the idea... the corporate and media savy 'average American guy' sets up a free corporate party during the Super Bowl , which is being filmed; then the proposal of marriage comes on the TV in the party venue - which the television audience is watching - them watch, - at the end of the spot a web address comes up. The television audience can't believe it and America rushes to their computers. The web site resolves the brides answer to the question - but not all the machinations of how it came about. The buzz could last days until we all figure out what happened around the water cooler at work.
Well, now you're ready, now you know, now you can be the smart hip one.
By the way - what is 'Super Bowl'?

I'm Blogging! Pay Attention to Me!
Rand sent me the above comic strip and instructed me to let it inspire me (it seems he enjoys giving me the occasional homework assignment), and the first thing I thought of when I read it was, "Why do people blog?"

This is a new type of marketing campaign called a Viral Video Product Placement, according to Storybids.com the strategy plays out like this:
"the bride-to-be will be under the impression that her smart and wonderful boyfriend was able to win them and some friends a Super Bowl party (compliments of a major corporate sponsor)."
"the potential bride and groom-to-be, along with several of their closest friends, will be filmed by their corporate sponsor, enjoying the game and the product that has paid for their good time"
"suddenly the image of the groom-to-be appears on the (TV) screen (at the party). The venue filled with friends and the bride-to-be, as well as the rest of America, will be viewing the much anticipated proposal that has been building a media frenzy over the past several weeks"
"viewers will view the web address of where they can go to see the response video that was taped during and AFTER the television proposal."
To sum up the idea... the corporate and media savy 'average American guy' sets up a free corporate party during the Super Bowl , which is being filmed; then the proposal of marriage comes on the TV in the party venue - which the television audience is watching - them watch, - at the end of the spot a web address comes up.

Before You Click SPAM...
January 15, 2007
Allison Randal at Radar O'Reilly in an article entitled "Spamonomics 101" recieved this useful bit of insight from Ken Simpson of MailChannels an Email Security Solutions Company,
Ken Simpson says:
"Those messages are sent by spammers to poison the spam filters. When someone receives a message full of gibberish and reports it as spam, the spam filters tune themselves to recognize gibberish as spam—which reduces their overall accuracy."
When your cleaning your E-mail In-box, check the content of mail you'd usually not even look at. If it's gibberish as noted above don't SPAM it; DELETE instead.
