Elections and Large Hadron Colliders

I saw this on Twitter this morning:

Hey, best case, we harness the power of God. Worst case? We all die in an artificial black hole.

and at first I thought it was about McCain/Palin vs. Obama/Biden.  Then I remembered LHC.  Yay, we’re all still here!

Would you wait in line for 6 hours for an iPhone?

Nah, nobody would wait 6 hours in line for an iPhone.  Least of all me.  I’m no Apple FanBoy(tm), have a nice Windows Mobile phone, and am on crutches.  So it makes no sense at all that I’d wait 6 hours in line for an iPhone.

But I did.

Foot Update

Posted on July 8th, 2008 in Uncategorized by Glenn Crocker

I broke my foot a while back, and finally went to the doctor mumble-16-mumble months later, who confirmed that a tiny little cesamoid bone is broken.  They’re apparently a nightmare to heal, so I got a bone stimulator, which seems to have helped.  Tried 4 weeks on an air cast walking boot thingie, but it didn’t help, so I’ve been on crutches for the past 3 weeks.

Anyhow, it seems to finally be healing, so I’m thrilled about that.  Hoping it’ll be in good shape for Estes Park, CO in August, and maybe D.C. before that.

Hello world!

Hey there.  I’m not really sure what this blog will end up covering.  Probably a smattering of things I’m interested in, including Search Engine Optimization, running a small business, music, raising kids, World of Warcraft, and maybe some crazy synergy of all of the above.

But I’ll start with a brief intro, so folks know who I am.  I’m Glenn Crocker, a web developer in Overland Park, Kansas.  I’ve got a great wife, 2 great kids, and a bunch of great clients.  I do web technology integration work, which usually means I make weird databases talk to other weird databases, with a web interface in the middle.

But these days, I’m doing more and more “search engine optimization”, trying to get clients’ web sites to rank higher on Google for their target phrases.  It’s fun, and appeals to the puzzle-solving part of my brain.

Hopefully, this blog will include the occasional interesting tid-bit for folks involved with any of the above!
