The Struggling Blogger

I’m not really much of a techie, that’s why I rarely post technical stuffs here. I prefer just blabbering. But when I stumbled upon this item, and saw that it’s almost everywhere, I thought I need to do something… yeah, blog about it, that’s what I mean.

Google is building a server farm in Austria. A 75 hectares of land was purchased in Kronstorf, Austria to build their farm. It wasn’t a quick decision, or so I heard. As Google spokesperson Kay Oberbeck said, they have to look at a dozen sites in other European countries before choosing Austria.

When I thought that the Philippine Tarsier is the smallest tarsier in the world, I read from Yahoo News! that scientist has rediscovered a long-lost tiny primate in Indonesia.

Scientist were surprised yet thrilled at the same time. It took them more than two-months to capture three furry, mouse-sized pygmy tarsiers - two males and one female on Mt. Rore Katimbo in Lore Lindu National Park in central Sulawesi.

A fourth one was able to escape after biting Sharon Gursky-Doyen, a Texas A&M University professor who was part of the expedition.

They were putting a collar the tarsier’s neck so they can track their movement, but the feisty one was able to bite Sharon because the tarsier can rotate their head 180 degrees.

I’m referring to the Philippine version of the Family Feud at GMA 7. I am asking myself if ever they DO really go outside (of their office/station) to find 100 people to survey. Why? Well, if you are watching the show, you might see the reason why I am asking.

Sometimes, what you thought was a popular choice, was not included in the answers. While those that you never heard of are there, with high scores even.

I really can’t pinpoint any specific items at this point because I can’t remember. Like I said, if you’ve been watching the show, you’ll see what I mean.

Honestly, I don’t think they do. I sometimes even think that the ’surveys’ are being answered by a writer or a group of writers who put whatever is the first thing that enters their mind and just assigned points correspondingly.

Of course, I could be wrong. It’s just my opinion.

But do you really believe they would go out everyday, just to ask 100 different people?

Just asking.

Press Secretary Jesus Dureza put President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on the spot. Arroyo herself was caught by surprise, she covered her face with her hands, and she was so embarassed.

Before the cabinet meeting today, Dureza said the opening prayer where he asked God to “bless the President” and that she may continue “leading the nation until 2010, and perhaps even beyond”

Dureza trying to escape the embarrassment said that even God has a sense of humor, and the usual escape artist that these personality are, he added that he also said “in her personal and private capacity.”

This doesn’t look good…

not good at all.
