Ever since oh about Thursday rumors have been flying about Google building something out here in the Mid America Industrial Park, near Pryor, OK (coincidentally about 15 minutes from my house!)

Of course nobody is confirming or denying it, but somebody (that someone being a mysterious shell LLC I can find no useful info on!) has bought up 800(!) acres out there.  Like so... (Link to my map of this situation at google(!))  ... (wish I could embed it! What's up!?)

There is lots of speculation, but I suppose its perfectly plausible...

• *FOUR* SONET trunks run right through here.  Yeah and all I can get is a lousy 768k DSL or an unreliable 768k fixed wireless...  Check this out: MAIP Telecom Utilities (PDF)
• *Two* power stations within rock-throwing distance, one of which they'd be living directly in the shadow of.
• The airport right next door is capable of supporting small bizjet-type traffic..
• There's a (albeit public) golf course just up the road on 69A if memory serves, quality unknown since I don't (and probably never will) golf.
• Lots of good home construction sites, and prime lakefront stuff on Hudson and further up on Grand (I have connections there! wink-wink nudge-nudge)
  

I wonder if anyone's told them of the non-zero probability they'd be hit by a tornado! (lol!)  Or even paralyzed by winter ice like we were in Jan. ....

In any case, sign me up, Google.  I'll wait until it becomes official, though.  I'm still highly skeptical.  There have been credible rumors of Anheuser-Busch building here as well.  Guess we'll see!

So, Larry and Sergey, if you see this, remember you've got a highly capable Linux admin within "emergency distance" from there!

I've often thought if I won the lottery this would be a perfect place for a DC, although I was thinking more of the old ViaGrafx/Learn2 building which is still sitting vacant since the last bubble crash! (Doh! Glad I didn't take that job I am!)

Heh I noticed the google adsense box down there was popping up w/ ads for anger management classes and programs. I wonder if Google's getting into psychoanalysis now? Trying to tell me something? I'm NOT ANGRY!! Well not much anyway.

Jeez you'd think I'd try to keep this thing up a little better don'tcha know....

Well, here's the new design, its painfully simple but I think it looks fine. I said it looks fine.

I will try to post stuff more often. I promise.

The O.C. is quite possibly the worst television show I have ever had the misfortune to sit through.

Thank you FOX for that, I really needed some perspective on bad TV. Ick. Pardon me while I go shower.

Of course it was worth it for the payoff at the end. Discuss!

Hey Corky! How about you write something!

Man I don't even have the thing up a week and I'm already ignoring it. Go figure.

I've noticed a couple new users signing up. Hey!

As my friend jaeger says "I suck at teh blog!"

You guys caught this thing before I've had a chance to put any real work into it.
Expect some real articles once I remember I need to actually post stuff here.

The last time I tried this, the comment spammers tried to take over. Lets hope that doesn't happen this time.

[edit] Apparently not, as I woke up this morning to a brand new trackback spam. Goddammit you f*ckers piss me off.

Listen, if I find out where you live I'm going to be visiting you with the sole intention of blowing your kneecaps off and then watching with intent pleasure as I ram the remnants of your patellas into your eye sockets.

One post and no real comments and you spam peddlers can't keep your hands off it. Slime. Scum. The little beetles that eat dogcrap are higher up on the food chain than your parents.
