Expanding Into New Markets

A few minutes nosing around OM stats revealed this shocking new development:
The Omniscient Mussel is #1 for the search term Ron Maclean + thumbs up.

While this state of affairs really illustrates the vagaries of Google indexing more than inroads made into the wild world of NHL on the interwebs, it is still….what’s the [...]

12th Century Helpdesk

Yesterday was the 10th anniversary of Google and proof of what you can do with $100,000 and a garage (and a good idea). Miss Mussel’s house is garage-less and, unless these ads really take off is without the necessary capital, so world domination has been relegated quite a fair ways down the list of [...]

From the CBC website:
The symphonies will be presented in order with each to be preceded by a conversation [...]
