I often play around with keywords in Google Suggest to see what could be what most people type.
It’s very interesting and sad to see what are the top 10 “why” questions from about 148 million people that used Google as of last month.
Top 10 “Why” questions in English
Why Poems?
I guess some people are very jaded, or don’t get why do we have poems. I’d say this would be the same as “Why Music”, “Why Movies”. Sad… or maybe they’re looking for poems that ask the question “why”? I don’t get this one.
The top 3 US states asking “Why Poems” are Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana.
why live
A lot of suicidal people looking for answers in Google, crazy shit. Let’s hope Google’s first result page is very encouraging to keep living. The first result goes to suicide.com. Again, Sad, but interesting to see that there’s a lot of people who ask themselves that question. I must be one very happy person, never crossed my mind such a thing.
The top 3 states with suicidal tendencies on Google seem to be Kentucky, Iowa and Rhode Island. Things must be hard in those places these days.
why jokes
There seems to be a bunch of “why” jokes around. The first search result takes you to a long ass list of jokes that start with the word “why”. For example:
Why is “abbreviated” such a long word?
The top 3 states in need of why jokes are currently Michigan, Indiana and Iowa.

why do dogs eat grass
So I guess a lot of Dog owners can’t figure out why their carnivore pets tend to be mowing the lawn or eating grass and then vomiting.
Top 3 dog owner states wondering about this behaviour are Oklahoma, Louisiana and Kentucky.
I’m starting to think that people in Kentucky need to have a lot of questions answered, where the hell did we ask for questions before Google, I guess we lived in a world ruled by rumors and miss-information since most people didn’t really go to the library to have mundane questions answered.
why did I get married
Again, some people think of Google as their psychologist or as a frustration release text box… or maybe they’re just looking to find out about a movie, which comes up as the first search result.

I was at a restaurant, it was so full they had a buffer table outside, I sat there to wait for Mauricio who was going to meet me. There was a man siting there, he was reading the menu. All of a sudden Luis Coa came, he greeted Mauricio with a handshake, he shook my hands with two hands, like a politician. Then he said “Hi Dad”, then we all laughed and said how small the world is, I told the that this was very funny since I thought recently about the way humans trust each other. It only takes a single node of trust to let us do things we’d never dream of with complete strangers.
Minutes later we were talking business, I’m not sure if it was his dad but I know I was supposed to start up an export company in Miami.
Then I’m in New York, somewhere in Brooklyn or Astoria, I had to look up for my mom since I was bringing her down to Miami, she did not live with Nicole. She lived atop a latin restaurant that now was claiming was a healthy place. Outside there was a sign that said “I Lost ___ pounds eating at [I can't remember the name of the restaurant]“, and when I saw it I was like “yeah right”.
I went up stairs, now I remember, this place reminds me of the first room I got in West New York, NJ. It was old, seemed unsafe, and I barely fit through the spiral stairs which were surrounded by white metal bars. I only had the key to downstairs, before I called my mom looked out and saw me, can’t remember what she said.
Next thing we’re somewhere far, the dream or what I remember from it mixes parts from a long river with yellow transparent waters, a beach area of my childhood, and the mountains of la guaira. It was day but it looked like the night. Then I was showing my mom about a kid who could control the water, and he and a friend came close to where we stood, some sort of cement pier, they came with surfboards and they controlled the water. Then I told her how she should see what he does in the winter with almost frozen water.
She told me to jump and swim in front of them, I looked down, there were rocks at the bottom, but very far down, there was somebody walking down there without a tank, and I said to her no way, she asked why, I bullshitted her about the rocks, I was just afraid to jump.
The water I remember had like a membrane of dirt on top.
I can’t remember much more, but I know the dream goes on to a part where I’m doing some exports and everything is doing well.

I got this phone on August 1st, 2007, this is how it looks now, 2 years later.
I’m still doing my research on what phone I should get.

I often want to see how much bandwidth is consumed by my network interfaces and how this is happening. There’s plenty of tools available in the linux world to monitor your network activity.
If you’re a Ubuntu or Debian user you can try the ones I use by installing the following packages.
sudo apt-get install iptraf ethstatus dstat iftop ifstat nload bwm-ng
Then try each one of those on your command line and have fun exploring what they can do.
If they’re not on the path of your user account, then try them using sudo.
eg. sudo iftop
If this short list of the tools I use does not satisfy you, I suggest you read this more comprehensive list of monitoring tools
I said it in March 4th 2009, Twitter is a company with billion dollar capable business models behind it which is probably monetizing plenty already while making everybody believe they’re not even focusing on it.
Today Techcrunch posts how Twitter is closing a New Venture Round at $1 billion valuation.
