VALIDATION

I have had several experiences with this blog wherein actions or experiences reflected here have been validated by others. The most recent is my formerly-unscientific use of google search results as barometers of anything other than the number of google search hits for a term. Thus, here and here I did "research" based on hit results.

Today in the New York Times magazine, the venerable and often irrelevant William Safire cited the google and yahoo! search results he got for the term "go yard." It is not entirely clear for what he was citing these results, but it appears that my half-assed research methods have been validated. Sweet.
