If ya’ll are reading this, you have either way too much time on your hands or your life is very boring…

You should visit my site instead: jeremy@strangerstudios.com.

Then again if you’re reading this, me and you are probably day and night.

This is a common scenario for me. Yesterday, I came up with what I think is a great idea. As usual (I get great ideas often), I went to gandi.net to look for domain names appropriate for my idea. I found some great domains which I’m surprised are still available. But before plunking down the $20-$30 to order both the singular and plural version of the domain I wanted, I wandered over to Google to make sure no one else has created a website based on my idea.

This got me thinking. How many other people google for something like automatic rubber-chicken dance hit studio or the best idea ever just to see if anyone else is as genius as they imagine themselves to be? I do it at least once a week. With google these days gathering as much information about our habits as they are, why not steal our great ideas as well?

Here’s a rough algorithm:
(1) Identify “unique” search strings by noticing when a lack of high scoring results return for a search.
(2) Filter the unique strings by some genius logic.
(3) Hire post-docs to browse through the string for that next big thing.

Take note.

I was browsing through a backup CD of mine and came across a bunch of my old poems. I might as well throw them up here.

Here’s one called “conceited monkeys”.

the yellow bellied
underbottom that
moves me
to consume.
fabrics of threads
stranded…
and stranded.
together as many
broken, untwirling
decrepidations
is the
sum of
addictive additives
floating in that
food that we eat;
we consume like
locusts in packs
of packed pack rats
like so many,
so many,
oh so many concieted monkeys.
Damn this human race!

Oooh, I can be so moody.
