Alexa Traffic Ranking

  I from time to time am a fan of Alexa.  It is a traffic raking site.  They also have a tool bar.  People install the tool bar and it gives them a great deal of information on sites that they visit.  It also shows the ranking of the site.
  The more people that use the Alexa tool bar and visit your site the higher your ranking is with Alexa.  (Well the lower the ranking ..because the lower your ranking number the better.)
  As an example HNBBS.COM has a Alexa ranking of 5,180,776 and ShowMeBlog has a ranking of 1,117,493.  Even the ranking for ShowMeBlog is too high.  I need everyone that has Alexa as a tool bar to log into ShowMeBlog often.

Is Alexa SpyWare?

"Spyware - A general term for a program that surreptitiously monitors your actions. While they are sometimes sinister, like a remote control program used by a hacker, software companies have been known to use spyware to gather data about customers. The practice is generally frowned upon."

I recommend Alexa and have a link here on this site were you can sign up for it.

Yes..I run "Ad-Ware" from time to time and I know it list it as "SpyWare" and other programs detect and report Alexa as spyware. That does not make it spyware.
If you run a firewall it will detect, at first, everything as an attack on your computer. You learn and fine turn the firewall and you see that you have to all certain ports to be used else the Internet will not work and you might as well turn off your computer. So you see that the firewall software or hardware detects and reports everything but you use your common sense and good judgement to decide what is OK and what is not OK.

I have been using Alexa for a long time. I love it.

  In the past we had a big debate about Alexa here. 
  See: December 13, 2003 – read the comments also.
  You will see that I am about the only person in the world that thinks Alexa is not spyware!  
 
I ran across some links with discussion about Alexa.

  ShowMeBlog has never won an award!  Hint Hint

Einstein Speaks

  I been working on Howard's Notebook today.  I did some work with the News Feeds.  I did a few other things.  It still needs a lot of work.
  I made a change to ShowMeCam.  I am not sure how long I will keep it the way it is now but the size is now small and it is streaming and in the upper right hand corner of ShowMeBlog and Howard's Notebook.  We will see how that works out.

Imus fired by CBS

  CBS fired Imus today.  Don Imus has been a royal ass hole for years.  He has not been a very nice guy.  What he said was wrong.  On or off the radio you should not call people names.

 But Rev. Sharpton has no standing any place.  He is a major racist.  Don Imus is a much better person that the Rev. Sharpton.  I hate to see anyone pay any attention to Sharpton.  
 I do not think that any real thinking people listen to Sharpton or pay any attention to him.  He makes noise but I think we all tune it out.
 Jesse Jackson is also a racist.  Maybe not as bad as Sharpton but he is a racist.  
 I did a video and put it on YouTube and in the video I said we needed some sort of scale from 1 to 10 so we could rate just how racist a person, place or thing is and that might help.  Well no one said it was a good idea and I think many people were thinking I am just plain nuts.
  I still like the scale idea.  Let me take the Imus story.  I think that Don Imus on the scale of 1 to 10 would be a 3 on the scale.  Al Sharpton would be a 9 or 10 on the scale.  Jessy Jackson would be a 7 on the scale.
  If you take as a group white people I think they would be a 4 on the scale.  If you take as a group black people I think they would be a 6 on the scale.  If you are wondering were I would put myself I would say I  always was a 1 on the scale but as I get older I fear I am inching up very slowing on the scale.  I fear I might be a 2 now.
  I can not say I am sorry that Don Imus was fired.  I do not think he was a very nice guy and I think he treated people like shit.  I am not sure if on the air what he said about the people he worked with was part of an act or if he did feel that way for real.  Don Imus did not appear to be a nice guy.  
  So now all the bad things he did and said about people is coming home, I think, to bite him in the ass.  I suspect that there are people that were in place that could have said some thing good about him but they did not because of wrongs he had done them in the past.
  I fear it is pay back time for Don Imus.
  The truth is I do feel sorry for Don Imus.  I think he is an ass hole.  But, you know, he has been honest about a lot of things.  He never pretended to be any more than what he was…Right now he is meeting with the college students…He never went to college.  Don Imus admits to having bad problems in the past and he over came them.  Don Imus also has done a lot of good work for kids and vets and others.  
  Don Imus is off TV and fired by CBS radio.
  
 

No Home Should Be Without One!

  I found this site:

  Yes it is what you think it is…  a test kit you can buy to check the panties, sheets and other places.  So your wife goes to work and you go and check her panties to see if the test kit turns up any signs of semen.  How do you know it is not your own semen?
  I guess you could use it to check your daughters panties when she comes home from a date!

  You have to have some trust in people.  I think also you have to decided if your wife is going to cheat on you …what can or do you want to do about it?
  With this new age we are in now.. I bet there are some homes that are like a CIA spy ware house.  I bet you have a lot of woman and men spying on what their mate is doing.  Listening on the phone line.  Checking the other person’s email and computer hard drive.  Spy cameras and stuff we can not even think about..  That must be a hell of a way to live a life.

  Speaking of a fidelity test kit…Congress passed a law in the past that all White House communications had to be on white house computers and that all the messages had to be saved and stored in the event it was necessary to do a investigation.  The national Republican party HQ got systems for the White House people to communicate and by pass the computer system at the White House.
  We are talking about breaking a federal law.  We are talking about “Conspiracy” here friends.  We also have found out that they deleted messages. 
  Where will it end? 
  I said here I was not for the impeachment of Bush.  I said it here in print and I put it on a video and the video is on YouTube.  But something has to be done about these people.  They do not believe that laws apply to them.  I did not know we had changed systems here and that we now had a King George.
  I think it is time to start putting them into jail.  It makes me so mad that they are doing this to our form of government.  The system should not work like this.. we should not be impeaching our leaders and we should not have to put them into jail…But these people do not give you any other options or choices.

  
 

A short rain storm

 

Ken came home the other night in a little rain storm.  There was a lot of standing water.  In the past he would have had some concern over driving through standing water.  He did not worry that night.
  We just had a storm rain storm. 
  Here is the sight and sound of a small rain storm in from just a few minutes ago.

Imus Kicked off TV

  LaDawna got here about noon.  Ken, LaDawna and I went out to get something to eat. Later Ken went to work.  LaDawna and I walked over to CompUSA and LaDawna got a blue tooth ear phone for her Palm Treo.
  I found out that the Treo is not all that great of a phone.  You pretty much need a wired ear phone or a blue tooth ear phone.  I am still happy with my Treo.
 
 

  You can tell that Ken is happy.  He has wanted a Jeep for years and years.  He got one at last.  He plans to add some extra items to the Jeep soon.  One of the things will be a good bike rack.

Ken's New Car

  Now I can tell you what has been going on for the last few days.  Remember when Ken went to Naples FL and checked out a 2000 Jeep.  The dealer would not knock off a few dollars on the deal so Ken did not make the deal.
  Later in the day Ken went to Homestead FL and got a brand new Jeep.
  Ken did not want me tell anyone until LaDawna came for a visit and he could surprise LaDawna.

  LaDawna came for a visit today.
 


  I like the Jeep.  Ken likes to do off road stuff so he will be taking it off road.  I am not into that sort of thing.  But it is a good looking and good riding car.  You set up high and can see everything very well.  I like that about the Jeep.
