Perhaps the weirdest thing about googling your book is seeing where it turns up... for instance... notice how many colleges turn up in the list? I wonder if these people know what it is that they're buying... 4:40:06 PM

OK.. so it's been a while since the last post... we've um.. been busy... anyhow, some interesting reviews of the book have sprouted up. Google - New New Economy + McEachern Then try NNE + AMACOM Some people get it... some don't. That's just how it goes I guess... 4:37:03 PM

"I came to Florida to die in peace. The last thing Sadie and I wanted was to live above a bunch of mole people. That's why we left North Dakota in the first place." -Mike Chenowith Centricorp Hollow resident 5:26:45 PM

"We would like to say that we have stood on the shoulders of giants. Alas, we cannot. Before us, there were no giants . . . only little men. We are the giants." --The Authors 7:48:00 PM

Remember when Steven Spielberg made that movie Poltergeist, about the family who moved into a house built on top of an old Indian graveyard? Remember how the realtor said not to worry because there wasn't an old Indian burial ground or any decommissioned nuclear submarines buried anyplace close, so it wasn't like Love Canal or anything? And the family thought they were safe? Then all of the sudden these radioactive flies start swarming around the windows and the TV started sucking up all those kids? And remember how the desperate family prayed to God for help but God wouldn't help them because He is a vengeful God? Remember how scared you were? 7:46:36 PM Google It!

Ted Williams, epilogue This might be obvious to you or I, but has it occurred to this prodigal son that even if medical science can re-animate Mr. Ted in the future, no one wants to see a frozen ball player? Look at the logistics. Someone, probably a ball boy, will have to wheel this large block of ice out to the batter's box. God only knows how Ted would hold a bat. And fielding? Forget about it. And do we even have to mention that baseball is a summertime sport? Hello? Ice, sun... not the best of combinations here. No, our thinking is that Ted's only option, as a frozen former athlete, will be limited to luge, skeleton and ski jumping. 10:46:26 AM Google It!

THE TED WILLIAMS STORY: PART 2 As an update to yesterday's entry on Ted Williams, it has been reported that Larry Ellison is, in fact, the highest bidder to buy the deceased slugger's cranium. However, tradgedy struck this morning when Teddy Baseball's melon fell out of its Fed Ex box as it was being delivered to the Oracle CEO and rolled down the hill in front of the company's offices. It bounced quickly down the street and through the window of a passing taxicab, but sadly, not before bowling over and critically injuring a little Chicano girl. Frantic calls to bay area taxi services inquiring as to whether Ted Williams' head has turned up have not proved fruitful, but Oracle's stock has not suffered. Quite frankly, we find the whole thing distasteful. Welcome to the New New Economy. 6:40:24 AM
