Google has what at first brush looks to be a great feature. You can search on pages that link to your pages. However, it appears that this works ONLY if Google has indexed the pages. For example a google search on the Internet Sympathy Card comes up with several links including a page from Scripting News. This page links to http://www.brauer.org/oklahoma/. Do a search on link:www.brauer.org or link:www.brauer.org/oklahoma and Google says there are no links to them.

Why this matters? It would be a useful tool. For example there are many stale links to the Internet Sympathy Card's old home at http://www.fortnet.org/oklahoma/. With a quick search I should be able to find the list of folks I need to contact.

Writing from the Pepsi Center during the third period of the second game of the western conference semi-finals. Avs are up 3-1 with 4:33 left.

I watched the game from a wonderful box seat on the center ice line. As were the other people in the box I had been given the seats as a gift. The way in which people take advantage of such things. Filling the box with unruly kids, leaving an absolute trashy mess and bringing in their unticketed friends is astonishing.
