Google launches Blog Search

I’ve just discovered that Google has launched its own blog search. Not quite sure how they determine what a blog is to get their data, but I gave up worrying when I rather vainly checked and found that catchingtherain was indexed. For a sample search i also had a look to see who has been blogging about Chinglish and you’ll see there are plenty out there.

Positively seconds of fun to be had.

Does the punishment fit the crime?

I was amused (first time it’s happened in ten days, hence no posts lately!) to read this story about an undeniably very odd chap who likes to check out people’s physique it would seem. As a result, he has been convicted of harrassment and as part of his punsihment he cannot visit “St Helens, Warrington or Widnes without the permission of either the chief constable of Merseyside or the chief constable of Cheshire“. So what exactly does he have to do to seek such permission? Give them a call? Email them?

Anyway, if you don’t like people feeling your biceps then at least there are a few parts of the country where you know you’ll now be safe.
