Google Foo
I caught a little bit of MTV2 the other day and saw a song I liked. However, the only things I knew about the song were:
- It involved piano
- A Russian girl in New York City wrote/sang
- Just signed to a major label
I finally turned to Google and the following search provided my answers within the first hit:
russia "new york city" "major label debut" album 2005 piano
The song ‘Us’ on the album ‘Soviet Kitsch’, sung by Regina Spektor, is really cool. Its weird, but I like it. I grow stronger with my Google Foo every day.
In other news, I got my cable/internet today. It took only 3 hours for 3 cable guys to reroute all cable going into my place through the walls, through the crawl space, across the driveway, up to the phone poll. In other words, I have extremely fast and high quality internet and cable. Just about everything that could have gone wrong did, which is why I ended up with brand new everything. Also, Adelphia’s DVR is top of the line. It puts Time Warner’s to shame, and make’s Tivo look like Apollo Creed.
Funny story. I got the name Apollo Creed by googling for "rocky opponents". You’d think I would know these things off the top of my head, but sometimes they escape me. The funny part? Check out the second result. C-po in the hizouse.

You don’t even want to know how many people are referred to my site from that search term. Rocky’s gone and he ain’t coming back, folks. Get over it!
