News Flash: Americans are couch potatoes

Fri, 15 Dec 2006 14:52:18 GMT

According to the U.S. Census Bureau in its "Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2007", Americans will watch, on average, 4.5 hrs of TV a day!

How in the world is this possible?! I don't even feel like I am home 4.5 hrs a day.

"Americans will spend another 2 1/2 hours listening to radio and a half hour listening to recorded music. The rest of the nearly 10 hours is spent reading newspapers, looking at the Internet, playing video games and reading other media."

Now...if only we could change that TV time into more Internet (aka working on their very own InstantSpot site) time :)

I wish I had TIVO

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 04:27:42 GMT

I am stuck in the dark ages of analog cable television.

There, I admitted.

One of the many crappy things about said cable, is that it doesn't come with any TIVO/DVR/etc. I miss so many shows that I wish I could watch, but just cannot find adequate time to do so.

Heroes is such a badass show IMO, but I can't watch it regularly.

I missed the first few Lost episodes and now refuse to watch any because I feel like I have completely missed the boat.

My Name Is Earl, The Office, CSI(s)...argh it makes me all anxious just thinking about it.

Maybe once Google or Yahoo decides to buy InstantSpot for $11ty gillionthousand I will break down and get some kind of digital service with a TIVO!

Robots and main page accessibility

Tue, 15 Nov 2005 06:00:00 GMT

On my quest towards e-stardom (aka a relevant and content-rich website), I realized that the navigation towards my older "news items" was somewhat lacking. My solution for this problem was to create a side bar menu that would contain all of the news item titles in descending date order (aka newest first).

A day or two after this change, I began to notice a positive side-effect to including all of these titles as links on the main page...The robots (spiders) were crawling all through my site! I'm not 100% sure, but I can't imagine how this increased indexing would hurt my chances of being returned in some search results.

In a possibly related subject, a Google search for 'Aaron Lynch' now returns this page in the top 10 search results (#6 as of this entry) and an MSN search returns www.AaronJLynch.com as #3!

Does anybody want my autograph?

UPDATE 1/25/06: Either Google has changed my ranking somehow, or my switch to BlogCFC has harmed my accessibility somehow. I now turn up on like page 5 or something terrible. Back to the drawing board!
