Mentioned yesterday that wasn't finding anymore some search results from Google. Today it is worse! Repeated the same search on Pynchon on the NY Times as before and now got only 4 results!
| Searched pages from www.nytimes.com for pynchon. |
Results 1 - 4 of 4. Search took 0.02 seconds. | |

Previously that search had given me over 10 results. (Should have made a copy of them back then.) What's making the results vary so dramatically? Is this normal Google behavior?

Found it! Mentioned in a previous entry that this weblog had been reached by someone searching for "page six jerry nachman," and how couldn't find the sought-for page myself. Today, it showed up in Google. It is no longer available on the NY Post's site, but could get a copy from Google's cache.
PAGE SIX
By RICHARD JOHNSON with PAULA FROELICH and CHRIS WILSON

Radio face
JERRY Nachman doesn't suffer from low self-esteem, so the MSNBC anchor will surely shrug off the unkind words written about him in The Los Angeles Times. "Nachman is a pretty smart guy, all right, but not smart enough to know that he belongs behind the camera, not in front, a lesson he should have learned a few years ago when bombing as an interviewer on KCET's 'Life & Times,' " critic Howard Rosenberg snipped yesterday. "His roundness and baldness are not relevant here, only his tendency to cut off guests prematurely, stumble over words, belabor topics and sourly present himself as superior." |
I ♥ the Goog.
The Howard Rosenberg article mentioned above can be found at the LA Times's Calendar Live.

Found out this weblog is delivered by Nuzee's "Blog Digest." What's curious is that Nuzee has placed it under their "Political Blogs" heading. What made them think this self-satisfied echo chamber is a "political" log? Anyway, thanks to Nuzee for providing another outlet to these incoherent mumblings.
{Much later...}
A list of other Salon weblogs which Nuzee delivers:

A bit from Salon's piece on Apple switchers:
...Maybe it was his pitch about the intuitiveness and femininity of the Mac -- its smooth operating system, its sleek curves, its bouncy icons that enlarge when you touch them, the way the documents slide onto the screen, the glossy surface and undulating pastel screen savers... O Lord, have mercy! I was surely a believer by the time he explained to me how effortlessly it would slip right into my bag at a mere 5.9 pounds -- light in weight and stature, but strong and commanding all the same.
Dear Penthouse, the cat is in the bag.
