My Dad used to say this a lot, but I’ve never heard it attributed to anyone – until today.
I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

I Always Wondered Who Said This…
Magazines…?
Well, I doubt that I’m one of the first 5 to see VanessaFoxNude today (sorry – couldn’t help it), but anyway… Vanessa responds to Li Evans query about what magazines she reads.
You remember magazines — those things that are sorta like a cross between a newspaper and a book. Wow, how long has that been?
But to be honest – I do GET a couple of magazines. Mind you, I’ve never SUBSCRIBED to them, but I get ‘em anyway 
PING! Zine – I think we advertised in this one at some point back in my hosting company days.
Website Magazine – this is one of those ‘free trade magazines’ that originally arrived addressed to an unknown name, at my street address – but now it comes addressed to me.
I used to get PCWorld, PC Magazine, etc. – but not anymore.
Now, like Vanessa, I get my information online. But no Blackberry. 
Google and Stuff
just thinking out loud…short, sweet, maybe I’ll add more
Google Personalized Search
I’ve seen discussion about Googles Personalized Search – and there is some concern over how this will affect Search Engine Marketing and Optimization.
Me – I am interested in watching this play out of course, but I’m not concerned. If Design, SEM, and SEO is done for your VIEWERS benefit – not for the the Search Engines – all will be well.
Webmaster Tools Out of Beta
Vanessa Fox announces that Google Webmaster Tools is officially out of beta! WhooHoo! I for one am truly delighted – I’m a HUGE fan and user of Sitemaps.
Webmaster Tools is the area where webmasters/site owners/website managers/etc. can submit RSS Sitemaps and Feeds, get stats, etc. A VERY useful tool – and you KNOW how much I love RSS Sitemaps.
I just finished mapping a site in fact – http://soapdom.com. This one had over 300k urls in my deep crawl. Of course not all those urls are included in the sitemaps. The main sitemap has a bit over 23k.
Projects and Rants
I’m working on a new project over here –> Intuitive by Design
And I break silence and go into a rant about illegal immigrants over here –> http://360.yahoo.com/dlperry_com
Ramblings of a SixFootBrunette
Ok – I finally got around to setting up a Googlepages site (better late than never).
So far Googlepages seems pretty limited (minimal javascript support, basic html editability, no add-on or built-in forms capabilities, etc.) but it is still under development after all.
