I've been experimenting with putting Google ads on this blog just to see how it works and what the benefits are versus the annoyance of seeing an ad on the blog.
The Google ads are usually pretty spot on in terms of matching blog content to the ad. Some of the ads I would even want to click on, but I have sworn in the sign up for Google ads that I won't click on any ads.
Sometimes the ads are strange. Take today for example. An ad came up for bathroom renovations. Beyond the laughable concept of this, based as we are at Yuendumu far far away from the renovation madness of the east coast, it made me wonder why it had turned up. Have I been writing subliminally about my secret dream for a tiled bathroom floor? I checked the posts. No I don't seem to have been doing so.
Then it struck me. I attached a waste run off hose to the washing machine yesterday to see if I could reuse the water used for our weekly 3 load washing. Grey water capture. I had also wondered at the time about how to capture the water run off from our shower and handbasin. See the connection? OK, tenuous but it is a connection.
The google ad today somehow knew about this. Spoooookkkkkeeeee. Twilight Zone music started to play in my head. And a funny little video that I had seen recently came to mind. One called EPIC - a video of the reshaping of the world by Google. And another thing came to mind - a woman on the radio yesterday talking about the Internet and how we were all now connected to an external brain - a transhuman mind - which we could access at any time giving us an enormous brain capacity beyond anything previously. I think her comments might be on the same degree of tenuousness as my laundry/bathroom grey water linkage but there you go.
But maybe it is all part of an emerging transhuman body/mind scape. Google seems to have got into my thoughts; maybe I am connected into a non human brain grid after all ....
Definitely time to get into the garden and do something with that grey water.
It does seem to be a water weekend this weekend. The Kang Kong tub is attracting gorgeous blue dragonflies flitting around each other and no doubt checking the potential of the tub as a hatchery; cloud is building up from the cyclone to the north west of us and it looks like rain, and Trevor has finished putting in the main part of the vegie garden watering system.
I just think I have to get out more.
Happy watering
Susan
