Apparently there is Babybel raclette -- I think I need to stop researching now.

(Pro tip: don't eat the underwear)
An ad (I think) for Babybel raclette cheese, with 2 cheeses having fun while a third is melted. And cheese underwear for no apparent reason.

Someone turned up the flouride in the water this week.
Screenshot from Dr Strangelove, with the text "that's why I only drink rain water" (alluding to flouride making people communist)

Alf photos are back on the table, I see.

This is great. More Alf, please.

Who remembers Windows 95? How has it been 10 years already ... Anyway!

Here's *Windows95Man* from Finnland, with the banger "No rules" for this year's Eurovision contest. Who needs rules when you can have Windows 95? I get it.

Windows 95 Man is emerging out of a giant egg, wearing a Microsoft cap & t-shirt. The world is not weird enough.

One of the big Swiss retailers seems to have started using AI-generated images in ads.

Caption "Make it" -- shouldn't it be "Fake it"? Anyway.
Likely AI-generated image from a Swiss Migros ad. Man with funky fingers, arms stretched out. Countless bird-houses in physically impossible configurations. A lot of birds in the sky, some look like petrodactyls.

The drone-photos from North Korea are pretty fascinating. TLDR: Back in 2020's pandemic, someone flew a DJI drone from China into North Korea over a city, and just published some of the photos / videos on Reddit.

Follow me, if you want to die.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, in some movie scene, where he says "live" instead of "die", but anyway, it's a meme, ok?

Search your @ on Google and click on the image tab and share a screenshot.

Mmmh, tasty.
Whole bunch of photos of toast. Some cheese, some avocado.

Someone ( twitter.com/LewisMenelaw... ) posted this on Twitter as a parody of the "login-with" excess that's sometimes out there.
a login-dialog with 16 different providers listed, half of them don't make sense - like being able to log in with your Olive Garden account.

This seems appropriate to share on Bluesky - if I had known... and with hashtags because I'm non-conforming. #spotify #wrapped
Spotify wrapped summary of the music I listened to in 2023 so far, showing a total of 69410 minutes listened.

So close. It's probably a nice house, but this ... oh my.

A house door, with an arched window above it. The roof is right above the arched window, and the edge of the roof is almost, but not quite, aligned with the top of the arch. Offset by maybe 10-20 cm? If you don't see the image, I hope this alt text was useful, and be glad that you don't see the image. Does anyone read this though?

Asking Bard: summarize my emails from search console and use them to write an obituary for SEO. Google Workspace SEO, once a thriving industry, has passed away. Its death was not sudden, but rather a slow decline, as Google Search evolved and made it easier for businesses to rank their websites without the need for SEO expertise. In its early days, SEO was a complex and technical field, requiring specialized knowledge and skills to optimize websites for search engines. SEO professionals helped businesses to improve their website rankings, which led to increased traffic and sales. However, as Google Search became more sophisticated, it became easier for businesses to rank their websites without the need for SEO expertise. Google introduced a number of features that made it easier for businesses to create high-quality content that would rank well in search results, such as structured data markup and featured snippets. ...

Congratulations!

The Big Mac index has made way for the Monthly Cheese Index.

I wouldn't expect (not having looked at all, lol) a change in URL or site impressions. Maybe in clicks, but even that, would they go up or down?

'Every 404 error is just a 301 redirect waiting to happen.' -- nice one.
John asking Chatgpt: give me some insightful, SEO-related inspirational quotes from Barry Schwartz. Use gen-z slang, make it click-baity, and include hashtags. ChatGPT: "On the hunt for SERPs, be the SERP! In SEO, it's always about outplaying yourself, not just the algorithm. #RedefineTheGame #SERPGoals #SchwartzSpeaks" "Yo, don't be a poser! SEO isn't about fitting in; it's about standing out and speaking the language of the algorithm. #AuthenticityWins #SEORealness #BarryBits" "Fam, keep in mind: SEO isn't a one-time fling; it's a long-term relationship with Google. #PatienceIsKey #MarriedToSEO #SchwartzWisdom" (and more)

In today's episode of "Life at Google", Gary came over and asked "do you remember what Eric Schmidt used to say?" ...

... and I haven't been able to stop asking Bard/ChatGPT for Eric-quotes since then. Either Eric said a lot of things, or these two are very creative. Hmm.
Culminating in "Do what you love, and the rest will come." - probably the most fitting for BlueSky. The rest: Sure, here are some additional quotes associated with Eric Schmidt: "Solving big problems is easier than solving little problems." "Innovation never stops, and you always have to be ready for what's coming next." "Brands are the solution, not the problem. Brands are how you sort out the cesspool." "The ability to work hard and make unique contributions is at the heart of America’s strength." "If you focus on your competition, you will never deliver anything truly innovative." "Never forget that only dead fish swim with the stream." "There is a tremendous opportunity for a new form of identity, which is not your real identity." "We need to act now to avoid the surveillance state." "Education is the key to the future: You've heard it a million times, and it's not wrong. Educated people have higher wages and lower unemployment rates, and better-educated countries gr...

What's a potato?

(scene from a bike-ride today -- a domain name for the German word for potato in the middle of a field -- so random, yet, so ... potato)
Bigass field with the word "kartoffel.ch" in big white letters randomly in the middle.

Good weekend so far. Reprogrammed half the devices at home yesterday (smart homes are supposed to save time, I think, but sometimes you just want to do something), and went for a long bike ride through the mountains this morning. So far, so good. How about you?
Bike ride coming down from a slight hill, next to a small lake. Blue sky, blurry road (camera settings), another bike rider on the road somewhat in the distance.

Everyone's talking about Threads and I'm just sitting here, sad that Currents / Google+ went away yesterday.

The Spiderman "just sitting here working" meme. There's no text. I know, he's not "working working", but that makes it even more fitting for here.

2015 I sent out an internal newsletter, showing how WordPress was set to take over interest in HTML. "The web is turning into a CMS, and HTML is becoming irrelevant!" It turns out, HTML can hold its own, and Wordpress has stagnated.
Google Trends showing HTML vs Wordpress in 2015 -- with wordpress basically catching up html vs wordpress in 2023 -- WP isn't catching up.
