Newspapers: Don’t Like Google Indexing Your Content?

Google explains it very simply how you can limit search engine’s access to your content, mostly in terms that even the staunch ol’ timers can understand.

But like one commenter said:

This is a very nice way of saying, “You guys in the newspaper industry are dingbats. If you don’t want us to send you traffic, we wont. Stop complaining.”

Rainn Wilson Mentions Deschutes County on Letterman

His stories totally sound like Central Oregon…

On a totally unrelated note, it’s weird seeing “Dwight” without glasses and with a beard. I think he’d appreciate this area even more if he watched our tourism video.

Kids These Days Have It So Easy

Forcing them to carry around a Walkman instead of their iPod will humble them a bit.

When the Sony Walkman was launched, 30 years ago this week, it started a revolution in portable music. But how does it compare with its digital successors? The Magazine invited 13-year-old Scott Campbell to swap his iPod for a Walkman for a week.

Pixar is Awesome

Not only do they make great movies, but they do good deeds.

HUNTINGTON BEACH – Colby Curtin, a 10-year-old with a rare form of cancer, was staying alive for one thing — a movie.

From the minute Colby saw the previews to the Disney-Pixar movie Up, she was desperate to see it. Colby had been diagnosed with vascular cancer about three years ago, said her mother, Lisa Curtin, and at the beginning of this month it became apparent that she would die soon and was too ill to be moved to a theater to see the film.

After a family friend made frantic calls to Pixar to help grant Colby her dying wish, Pixar came to the rescue.

The company flew an employee with a DVD of Up, which is only in theaters, to the Curtins’ Huntington Beach home on June 10 for a private viewing of the movie.

[…]

Colby died about seven hours after seeing the film.

Up was a great movie — I saw it last week. This story, and that movie, brought a little tear to my eye.

Cheryl Howard Is Awesome

I’ve always had a great deal of respect for all that Cheryl Howard has done for this town and our neighborhood in particular. She’s also contributed a ton of links to this site. Today’s Bulletin has front-page profile of her, and while I haven’t had a chance to read through it completely, any praise she gets is well-deserved.

If she ran for political office, I’d vote for her. I’m not giving her computer help anymore, however, as that girl is nothing but trouble in that regard (joking, Cheryl).
