Google Image Thursday - #19 "Numa Numa" - Internet Fads

So things come and go and thats what this one is about: going. This will be the last internet fads, mostly because I've gotten board with fads.

Here we go: "Numa Numa" Who would have thought some kid lip syncing to a song would become such an internet fad. He even got press in main stream media:


Thats from Wikipedia

The other image today is from Marine Operations in the Northern Solomons: its a map of Piva Action in 1943. There is a trail called the Numa Numa Trial.

Google Image Thursday - #18 "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" - Internet Fad

Yes I forgot to post for Google Image Thursday. Its hard to remember sometimes... I did plan on doing it at home after work but alas I got tied up with packing for a trip.

So on to this weeks images (or last weeks)... All Your Base Are Belong to Us has been around for a while.

The first one found here, reminds me of a project I once did about Dummies for dummies.

The second Is a Calvin and Hobbes parody. I especially like the "move zig" panel.

Sitemaps oh Joy!

I've been reading up on this new fangled sitemaps thing. Because its all the rage now for some reason... even though Google has been doing it since '05. (Well now that Yahoo! has jumped on board and MSN says they will support it (later sometime... who knows.))

Here are some useful links for those who need some info on it:

General info:
Sitemaps.org
Google's Sitemaps

Submission (users are required):
Yahoo!'s Site Explorer
Google's Sitemaps

Alot of people say you can add a line in your robots.txt file to submit your site. I don't really like this approach for a few reasons. The original intent of robots.txt was to let spiders know where they could poke your website. You really can't stay with that intent by adding lines to let spiders know where there are xml files. The other reason is because there is no RFC or standards body that owns robots.txt. So it really isn't a standard at all.

Just my $0.02.

Google Image Thursday - #17 "Pirates" Internet Fads

This week I'm going with "Pirates", seems like the next best thing to do. =)

The fist image is from globalsecurity.org. Its a map of Piracy, I think, its in another language.











I found this one very amusing over at teesmybody.com:


Are you a ninja that loves pirates?

AVAST!!!
