O.J. Update

It seems the only time you hear about O.J. Simpson anymore is when he's arrested for something. Here's a link to a recent ESPN interview with America's favorite ex-athlete who got away with murder.

"I would tell you they almost never bring up the trial. I mean that's the weird thing. I mean, I rarely talk about the trial over a course of a week. Football. Quite often. Football, quite often, especially here in Miami."

And speaking of celebrity mug shots, here's a great gift idea for the holidays.

The Mysteries of Google

I guess I'll never understand how Google works. Yesterday, this blog had its most active day ever: 2,089 page views and 789 unique visitors. Many of these people (about 400) got here by searching Google for Daniel Feussner. Yesterday, this blog appeared as #8 in the search results.

As of today, it appears that Google has removed the J-Walk Blog from its index. Searching for Daniel Feussner J-Walk turns up nothing (yesterday, it would have been #1).

My guess is that Google found too many instances of the search term, and their algorithm assumed that it was being done intentionally to influence the search results.

Just kidding of course. Google is my favorite web site. It definitely does not suck. It's just mysterious, that's all.
