Two years ago I searched through my “Living the Geek Life” referral logs and found some interesting search terms. It's time to update the list, using a small VB program I developed at the time and is still available for free download here.

So without further ado, Google has actually sent people here using the following search terms:

“Easy Gymnastic Moves”

I'm #9 on Google for this phrase.

Wow. The olympics aren't on, and people are still searching for gymnastic moves. And Google is STILL sending those people to my web site. The best I can offer is this web site and this one.

“Writing to a 5 year old”

I am #2 on Google for this phrase.

My page got into Google because I was talking about by World Vision sponsored child, who I correspond with. Writing to her is difficult, and doubly so because of the “lost in translation“ effect. Basically, you have to keep the words small, talk about things she might be interested in, etc. Imagine what you would say if she was sitting in front of you... “Did you have fun today? What did you do? Do you want a cookie?“ That kind of stuff. Of course, in a letter, those questions are totally irrelevant so don't listen to me at all.

check my numbers lotto 54321 ie.

I am #1 on Google for these terms. I have no freaking IDEA why.

Honestly, if you are searching Google using that meaningless group of words and numbers, I am not surprised you are brought to an irrelevant site such as this. You've given Google nothing to work with. But welcome anyways, and I hope you enjoy it here. I am sure you won lotto. 54321 comes up all the time!

Movie countdown timer 10...9

I am #3 on Google for these terms.

Ha ha. Searching for a term like that in Google is like searching using the punchline of a joke. Yes, the “countdown timer“ is one of the stupidest ways Hollywood movies use computers. Click that link to see some other good ones. 

Sophie Neveau employer

I am #3 on Google for these terms. Probably because her name is misspelled.

In the book The DaVinci Code, Sophie Neveu was employed as a cryptologist with the French police. In the movie version, she didn't do much but look good. And ask Tom Hanks... “Tom, what does this mean? Tom! Tom! I'm a cryptologist and you're not, but what does it MEAN?“

unemployed can i afford to retire

There is only one difference between unemployment and retirement. Retirement is voluntary. I would have to say that if you are currently unemployed, you probably cannot afford to retire. People who can afford to retire generally call their periods of unemployment “sabbaticals” or “vacations”.
