“What are rabbits for? Silly puppy. Rabbits are for dinner.”So here’s the funny part about Cleo’s instincts and the palpably tabula rasa state of her conscious awareness: Until this week, Miss Chioux did not know what rabbits are for. That’s a funny way of saying things, since it puts telos in the eye of the observer. […]

I had a great week. That’s not something I get to say all the time — rarely more than fifty times a year. The truth is, most of the time I feel like an undocumented refugee from a forgotten country known as A Different Way Of Thinking. I don’t feel any huge bond of commonality […]
[Okay, BloodhoundBlog will be two years old in less than an hour. Here’s one more little bit of our past in celebration. This is from May 31st, 2007. –GSS] Question #1: Why did Microsoft call its new table-top touch-screen interface “Surface”? Answer: “It” and “Thing” are trademarks of The Addams Family. Question #2: What makes […]
Trace Richardson wrote just lately on the technology of building single-property web sites, and, while he got almost everything wrong, from my point of view, I’m willing to cut him some slack. First, he’s a very thoroughgoing weblogger, and that buys a lot of credit in my bank. And second, he went after the topic […]
[Russell Shaw taught a symposium today in Phoenix on Geographic Farming. Cathy and I were there, and Russell was sweet enough to give a plug to BloodhoundBlog Unchained. At the break, I was swarmed by people wanting more information on Social Media Marketing, especially weblogging — most regretting that they hadn’t gotten started sooner. Teri […]
Okay, here’s the meme game I mentioned yesterday. I want to build something like a canonical list of every weblog in the RE.net. By this I mean weblogs created by Realtors or other real estate agents, including commercial brokers; lenders, appraisers, investors or other real estate professionals; mainstream media real estate weblogs; and vendors marketing […]
I wrote this almost three years ago, reflecting back on Labor Day 2003. I happened to think of it this week when I heard a piece of Bob Dylan’s new album. With a few truly remarkable exceptions, a couple of which are discussed here, Dylan has been phoning it in since he met Andy Warhol […]
“Why mint a ‘trillion dollar’ coin? Wouldn’t a custom ‘trillion dollar’ poker chip do just as well? Or why not just float a ‘trillion dollar’ hot check post-dated a trillion years from now? Why complicate fraud?”On Cleo’s first birthday, she ate a lizard. The first time I took her for a walk, when she was but […]
“Where’s Waldo? What does he smell like?”I have so many questions for dogs. That’s a funny observation, and I want to make it the first line of a book someday, but it really is no joke: In my personal ‘Freaky Friday’ fantasy I get to quiz dogs about everything. As noted, I think academics are useless […]
“Poop bags and flashlights have taken all the sport out of walking the dog at night.”At the time the election was stolen, I advised people to count the cranes on their skylines. They weren’t there three years ago, and three years from now they’ll be gone again, shunted back to Obamaville. This is practical ontology, apprehending […]
We’re going to lose Desdemona, our English Coon Hound, tonight. She’s been with us for more than ten years, and she was an adult when we adopted her. A long life for a big dog. Desi is by far the smartest dog we’ve ever known, the most willful, the cleverest escape artist, the most vociferous […]
We are drowning in information but starved for knowledge.” quoted by John Naisbitt. As RE Web 2.0 has evolved, there has been so much emphasis on the data, yet as we sit and evaluate the present solutions, consumers are still unclear how to interpret the information. “Information is not knowledge.” quoted by Albert Einstein. Buying […]
Dan Green is a great believer in the power of the media to promote a business, where I am quite a bit more skeptical. He asked me once about the commercial value of my column in the Arizona Republic. Quoting former Vice President John Nance Garner on the value of that elective office, I said, […]
[This is one of the all-time most popular posts on BloodhoundBlog. I’m reprising it for Project Bloodhound, first because it’s a nice leveraged SEO solution, and second because it’s a painless introduction to customizing the PHP in WordPress. –GSS] Who can probe all the mysteries of Google? Not me, and I don’t even do referrals […]
