new warp

happiness

this is so much fun that it's scary, talk about judeo christian ethics. the series is the woven word, not sure of the title yet and i'm weaving sayings and inspiring maxims. but with some punch as i can't deal with halmarkiness meaning  by that no schmaltzyness.- driving the spell check crazy here:)

moving on i've been thinking for a while how irritating it is to write for google, especially if you have an online shop. you can't be creative when naming your work because google doesn't like it and if google doesn't like it you get poor ranking. you have to spell things for google because google is not very smart. for example it doesn't understand irony, puns nor figurative speech. tags have to be clearly understood and accepted by google.

as a result of that writing is getting poorer and poorer and people lazier and lazier using their heads., albeit being obsessed with  search engine optimization- seo in the jargon.
everyone tends to look at the first two pages of a search query, where all the better ranked unimaginative information is. and this information is hashed and re-hashed numerous times. so in the end in the era of free flowing info we only get the  first two pages of information  reworded over and over.
 however,  if one takes time one can find real and or interesting information and things searching in not so well ranked pages. try page 12 for example.

this rant is because the era of google seems to be waning, or at least there is competition.it happened to e-bay, it's happening to etsy  and you tube.
take a look at this and maybe rejoice .

back to the loom.

spoiler

it's already in the mail so i can post about it. the end of the linen warp happened like this, a set of linked coincidences.linen and letters and surface design and friends and friendship.the outcome is no big deal, but its a work of love.

speaking of love i am in need of sunshine love. it's been suicidal weather for almost 2 weeks now, not counting the local scenario of roadworks, building reno and  city hall referendum on what to do with one of the major thoroughfares . 
cold and rainy and dark , no dyeing and the photos come out BLAH. cranky mood oi?
better be productive, get off the computer and finish tying the last 20 knots of the new linen warp.

and with this   must read i'm signing off for the weekend .
have a good one you out there with the lovely weather.
