Trash Frog and Some Other Stuff

Image
Sadalit has asked me to mention that her husband's band's name is Trash Frog, and I am pleased to do so. Trash Frog. And you can hear the song about women's hatred of their bottoms here. This is how going viral starts, you know. Very good. What a blogging day it's been. Obscure British cameras, guerrilla gardening, and now women's arses. I don't where it's all going to end. I do know where it's all going to end for Jargonfish , on this blog anyway. Today. It was a mere irritation. The links it provided were uninteresting. The whole thing was pointless. And finally, on the subject of obscure British cameras, in particular, the Periflex. You could get one on eBay, but it would cost upwards of £300, about the same as you'd pay for a Leica III. So I'll pass on that.

JargonFish/BlogCatalog Widget

I've fitted this widget to The Avenue, - give it a go. At first blush I'm not too impressed - it picks out high frequency words, and links them to places which bear no relevance to what I've been blogging about. For example, yesterday's post about Fed 2s, it highlights "links", "home" and "lost". The first takes you to blogger links, (bloggers writing about bloggers is at best sad, at worst incestuous). It improves with "home": the first couple of links I'm thinking wtf? but the third is all about Newcastle's home game against reading on Saturday... So, it's getting smart. Hmm. And then I click on lost and it takes me to all sorts of places which, strangely, I'd never heard of but might be interested in... So it might be A Good Thing. Give it a week or two.
