Yesterday, I did not make a post celebrating that it was Brent Irwin.tv’s 1 year birthday. Well, it was! And now Barack Obama is in line to be our next President. There’s all kind of history in the making right now!

Just saying hi from IT class! We’re doing web design now.

This is the first in the Halloween Craft-a-Day series on BrentIrwin.tv. Personally, I love Halloween, and the decorations are the most fun. So every day on this blog, I will be telling one more way to decorate your house for Halloween for free.

Today, I’ll teach you how to make paper towel ghosts.

I have a quick tip for you iPhone users out there. If you didn’t already know this, BrentIrwin.tv and TheHangoutPodcast.com both have the little file called apple-touch-icon.png. Now, what does this do? Well, if you’re on an iPhone or iPod touch and decide to add either of my websites as a bookmark to the front page, you can do it, and this icon makes it look oh-so nice!

Okay, let’s take a look at this new search engine sensation called “Cuil”. Nobody likes it. Everyone’s calling it junk. You can’t even SPELL Cuil without messing up the first few times! The real important thing is how well it performs my vanity search. First, though, let’s look at Google’s results. Click on any of the photos to see them full-size

6 answers on the front page, including the first entry, are actually me. They’re all relevant to what I’m doing nowadays. Now, let’s see Yahoo.

Yahoo turned up with 6 entries for me on the front page. 3 of them definitely aren’t relative to what I do regularly, though. Now, let’s see how Cuil is doing…

In Cuil, none of the categories are about me. There is my explore.twitter.com page (which no one even ever uses for ANYBODY). There is my Twittervision page, useless. Then there are 4 Twitter posts from months ago. So Cuil actually does tie with Google and Yahoo. in how many entries show up for me. However, it loses, because there is not a single post that is relevant to me. No one would ever need to know any of these sites. Cuil is officially a dumb search engine. My rating, 0.
