another offering from our friends at xkcd. Ha! I wish I could say
“sudo clean your frakkin’ room!” to my offspring! “sudo” is as close to a magic spell as it gets.

If you like stumbleupon for discovering websites and blogs, you are gonna love stumbleaudio for discovering new artists and tracks. Warning: it is a flash site but the interface is well-done and intuitive.
Listen to this post HubPages: A paying outlet for your verbal diarrhea
Want to know a little secret about bloggers? We bloggers all have a bad case of verbal diarrhea! We just can’t stop spouting off and we all like an audience. Since we’re all doomed to suffer from this malady, we might as well get paid something while we suffer from it.
The downside to blogging
The way most blogging software arranges the posts in reverse chronological order guarantees that only your most recent post will get much attention. Sure, visitors are free to break it out by category or to search for a particular topic, but the fact remains that most visitors see the home page when following a root link to a blog.

I wrote these lyrics to the tune of “I wanna hold your hand” by the Beatles, with all due credit to them. The purpose was to teach a class of bright youngsters how Ethernet networking works at the hardware level. I thought that my hot dorkage readers might enjoy them. It’s all as true now as it ever was. And in case you don’t understand some of the terminology, it’s all broken down for you at the end.
And in case you’re too young to remember the Beatles (even though they keep popping up on oldies stations) Below see a recording of it for you to listen to. Notice that you have to click to play it. I would never inflict it on you.

Totally non dorkage again today. Photos so far, as promised. A selection from the Columbia Gorge, the Mt. Hood area, and the North Oregon coast. Tomorrow Mexico! The Mexico pix will start appearing in the dynamic Flickr widget as we take ‘em.
Dang! The little badge didn’t work. It works for everybody else except me. No time to debug now. Well here is the link to my flickr photo stream then, not quite as cool but you can see them.

Blog Carnivals: can they pimp a pillar post?
One thing that annoys me about blogging is how ridiculously update-centric it is. It makes sense if you have a breaking news blog with heaps of daily readers, but most of us don’t. So why are people only interested in one’s latest posting? I’d like to get a little more bloggerific juice out of an article I spent several hours writing and a lifetime accumulating the knowledge for than just a couple of comments the first day it comes out. I’d also prefer to move away from linkbait such as Eleven Signs that your blog sucks. I know my Entrecard droppers liked that one, but I want to write more serious and technically focused articles that will never be popular in the general blogosphere.
