Upping the Blog IQ
02/07/2007
The time has come to increase the IQ of this blog. Perhaps then I will get more reasonable searches. I’d love to know how these keywords arrive at my blog: amateur porn festival, silicon doll, groped gal vids, girls getting muddy and hot girls playroom. I’m actually a bit concerned about the people doing these searches. First, I’ve never written about any of these things. I think one word in each actually is part of a post somewhere. I also hope that I don’t know any of these people. I know some oddities and searches like this wouldn’t be unusual.
Someone also arrived here by searching for the “french equivalent of silicon valley.” Now, if anyone in France reads this, please correct me if I’m wrong. I think that Grenoble is called the silicon valley of France. The whole area is dominated by high tech industries and is a huge draw for geeky engineers and skiers. Hmm. Imagine a geeky French engineer. That French accent.
I also can’t tell you the best gyne doctor in silicon valley. Although I’d recommend that you check San Jose magazine’s doctor rankings that they do every year.
Another search was “hate living in Silicon Valley.” I’m sorry to hear that. I love it here. If you just moved here, give it six months. It took me quite some time to adjust, but going back to where I came from made me realize how great it is here. I had moved on. The city I loved as a grad student just didn’t have the appeal it once had.
So now, how do I increase the blog’s IQ? I’d like to get readers who are less interested in porn (you won’t find it here) and more interested in life. I could talk about chemistry. I have thought about it some. In fact, this week’s ACS magazine has an article on chemistry bloggers. There are only 100 blogs dedicated to chemistry. I doubt that I could cover chemistry all the time. Besides, I hardly got comments about my grad school years, so it must not be terribly interesting. Yes, porn and sex will bring more readers, but I’d like readers who don’t have sticky keyboards and mice. Sticky keyboards make it difficult to write comments.
Apparently my normal posts bring out the kinks, perverts, crass and horny. Obviously, that won’t help. Now for some smart words: chemistry (ah, but it has a double meaning), physics, calculus, fluorescence (no one comes here from that and I’ve used that one before), lasers, and nuclear magnetic resonance. There!

No sticky keyboard here.
Unfortunately no witty repartee either. A comment none the less. Possibly it will not bring your blog IQ down too much.
Take Care

Would you believe “ashley brooke simpson”? It is the most frequent search word for my blog. I kid you not.
I get some real doozies sometimes. I think we underestimate the number of sickos out there.

Up the IQ of your blog! Talk about science. You might really enjoy talking about science in a simple, straight-forward way. At least some of the time…

But would anyone read it?
Perhaps I should be happy that people come here even if it is through some pretty strange searches.

I am fascinated by science– if it is explained in practical terms and real world situations I can comprehend…
My number one search draw is “biggest crocodile”…
