Searching

I think there should be more advanced options for Google or any search engine.

Search for these words: ___ Within: ___words/lines

So you won't get results with one of the search words in the text and another word in a link or something. And you don't have to search for an exact match. Like Search for "roald dahl" and "spine" in the same paragraph. Or if you're looking for a person you could search for "John" and "Smith" within 2 words. Then your results would include "John Smith" "Smith, John" and "John P. Smith"!

I guess they already have an option where you can search in the text/title/URL/links/all of a page. But I tried it and got the same results using text, links or all.

Or even just a way to exclude sponsored ads. I hate when my results are some random page that happens to have an ad for the thing I'm searching for.

I predict this one will be available one day.....
Image Search. And I don't mean search for images that have titles or tags or whatever that match the words you're looking for. I mean, you input a picture, or maybe draw it in, or select image components, and the results are images that look similar to your image. It would be similar to facial recognition software. So you could put a picture of someone, and the results would be other pictures of that person, and pictures of people who resemble them. Or you could take a pic of a table, and the results would include all kinds of tables, maybe even a dog or something. Then maybe you could refine the search by labeling some of the results. The coffee table image "Yes" The dog "No" The kitchen table "No" And then the results would be all short long tables. Also, you could click on category: Architecture, then Columns, then Corinthian, then 6, then search. And the results would be images with 6 Corinthian Columns! Maybe even a 6-legged insect too! Take it a step further by adjusting the positions of the columns to refine your results.
Google is trying to improve its image search, but not in the way my idea would work. You can help them label images and improve the quality of Google's image search results here:

It's set up like a game--it's actually pretty fun.

Crap Fish

So apparently there are plenty of Carp fish, and they are omnivores. I hear they really eat anything. So why don't we put the Carp with those barges of garbage....do some recycling!
I had just posted this, and a few days later there's a news story about a new kind of pedicure....they let Carp eat the dead skin off your feet! See?!

This old apartment

Several years ago, my sister had an idea that there should be a young hip Martha Stewart. I guess Rachael Ray kinda filled that role. Now I was thinking....there should be a young hip Bob Villa. Nuf said.

Down at our rendezvous

I was watching MTV's reality competition to find the new star of Broadway's Legally Blonde, and one of the finalists reminded me so much of Jenilee Harrison. ...you know who that is, right? She played clutzy roommie Cindy on Three's Company! Rhiannon, one of the Elle Woods wannabes, looks a lot like her and has quite a goofy way about her. She would be perfect to play Cindy in a remake. And thinking about it, I decided it's a great idea to do a Three's Company movie! Remember the Brady Bunch Movie? Something like that would be awesome. The series aired in the late '70s so the fashions would be so easy to use for some laughs. And you could reference so many episodes in a 90 minute overheard, mistaken, innuendo filled plot! I'm not sure if it should just be a satirical new movie version of the show or if it should be an updated version--taking place today. They'd have to change the premise a little, nowadays no one cares if two girls live with a guy, but I'm sure there is some taboo the new roommies could break. Yeah, it's a good idea. Needs a lot more development.

Bread

They should sell bread by the half-loaf.
