Over at "Global Nerdy"…
Over at my tech blog Global Nerdy, we’ve been blogging like a mofo:
- Google’s PageRank Algorithm, in 126 Lines of Python: Interesting — no idea how accurately it mimics PageRank, however.
- Tips for Using Images on Your Site and Optimizing Google Image Search: remember, search engines can’t read pictures.
- As iThought, the iPhone iSn’t from Apple: Winning customers through brand confusion — nice strategy, that.
- “You” are Time’s Person of the Year — But Don’t Tell Chrysler! The Chrysler ad starts with “You may not be Time’s person of the year…”

- News Flash: Hollywood Depictions of User Interfaces Aren’t Accurate Either! For starters, how would a visitor from the 23rd century know what to do with a 1987 Mac Plus?
- YouTube Being Used in Call for Crime Witnesses: Rather than simply hand a security tape from a hip-hop club where a crime took place, the Hamilton cops posted it on YouTube.
- Gift Ideas: The Joystiq Holiday Guide for Gamers: If you’re stuck for gift ideas for a console gamer, here are some good suggestions.
- In Post-Soviet Russia, Other Search Companies Beat Google: I was trying to riff off Yakov Smirnoff’s old schtick for that title.

Juan Garcia Esquivel — often called just “Esquivel” — is the king of “space-age bachelor pad music”, a quirky, very orchestrated style of music popular in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It’s sort of hard to describe, but if you’re familiar with the pop culture of that era, you recognize it when you listen to Esquivel’s treatment of Frosty the Snowman. Mix up a martini, ease into your barcalounger and enjoy the space-age Christmas grooves.

- When: Friday, December 22nd at 8:00 p.m.
- Where: The Groundhog Pub, 401 Bloor Street East (near Bloor and Sherbourne, very close to Sherbourne Station)

In addition to good beer and good food, the Groundhog has one of the best karaoke libraries I’ve seen. C’mon, GTABloggers and LiveJournalers, let’s celebrate with Liz!
