What a blow to my pride, my ego. *laugh* I did a Google search, searching for "gifford" as the only search term, just to see what I could see. How awful it was, to see that my web site only finally shows up near the bottom of page six. *smirk*

I shouldn't be surprised. I don't regularly churn out new and interesting material on my site. I don't exchange links with friends. I'm quite a web recluse after a fashion.

The search did reveal another Gifford (no relation that I'm aware of, though if we both traced our genealogy back to the 1600s, perhaps we'd find we were cousins), another blogger, Matthew Gifford who appears to be a tad geekish and interested in technology. Cool! I browsed his blog for a bit, and even visited his Amazon.com wish list. There was some interesting stuff there that could have easily been on my wish list, like C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity or perhaps (if I didn't own the books already), C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia (boxed set).

Mr. Gifford also managed to attend the Gnomedex, which I only heard about today while listening to the latest episode (episode 11) of TWiT (This Week in Tech).

If I'm ever to rise in the ranks of Google's search, I'm going to have to change, and become interesting so that people will link to my web site. *sigh* It's not going to happen, however. I'm too lazy for such an endeavor. I shall have to continue where I'm at, way down the list. Fame is not everything, and in fact isn't that desirable. It's often destructive from my own observations, so why should I bother?

Well I need to stop ruminating and go hold Family Home Evening with my friend Jason. See you later!
