			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>The Internet giant Google</strong> continues to fascinate the world in a way that only they can. Google sometimes replace their original logo from time to time with another variation of it. For holiday logos etc: <a title="Google Holiday logos" href="http://www.google.com/holidaylogos.html">See examples here</a>.</p>
<p>Recently Google have used 2 logos that look a bit different. Google updated their Twitter profile Sept 4´th with a cryptic tweet: <strong><span><span><a href="http://twitter.com/google/status/3772868874">1.12.12 25.15.21.18 15 1.18.5 2.5.12.15.14.7 20.15 21.19</a>. </span></span></strong><span><span>They linked that tweet to a <a title="O abduction" href="http://twitpic.com/giyxf">twitpic page displaying the logo with the UFO abducting the <strong>O</strong></a> (Image below). If you replace that cryptic code with letters <em>(a=1, b=2 etc) </em>you will find that the message is </span></span>&#8220;<strong>all your o are belong to us</strong>&#8220;. This will of course make you think about &#8220;<a title="Wikipedia page" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us">all your base are belong to us</a>&#8221; which was a hype like 9 years ago or so. In short: The phrase is a line of subtitled dialogue from the introduction to the video game <em><a title="Zero Wing" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Wing">Zero Wing</a></em>. It is actually still funny even though it´s really old. <span><span> </span></span></p>
<div id="attachment_273" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 276px">
	<img class="size-full wp-image-273" title="Sept 5" src="http://www.marcuswestberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/saucer.gif" alt="" width="276" height="115" />
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Sept 5</p>
</div>
<div id="attachment_274" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 300px">
	<img class="size-full wp-image-274" title="Sept 15" src="http://www.marcuswestberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/crOpcircle.gif" alt="Sept 15" width="300" height="110" />
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Sept 15</p>
</div>
<p>So here is my comment to all of this: <span><span><strong>OOOOO^ </strong> </span></span></p>
<div id="attachment_276" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 300px">
	<img class="size-medium wp-image-276" title="OOOOO^ " src="http://www.marcuswestberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/circle1-300x300.png" alt="OOOOO^ " width="300" height="300" />
	<p class="wp-caption-text">37 15 37 41 71 14 116 15 50 50 92 23</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Ok all set. Everything is ready for me to transfer this blog to a new web host and on the way repairing this half broken Wordpress installation. The web host that I am using now is just way to slow. </p>
<p>Before the summer I will be able to start bloging more frequently. I figured that this is actually a lot more fun when everything else is in order. I managed to fix a lot of things regarding my own company and my income. So now I will have more time for fun stuff. Like blogging and other more social (well social on the Internet) activities. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I am considering to get this blog moving again. The idea with this blog in the start was to communicate with other webmasters. During that time I was very interested in SEO and still is. But now I am thinking about getting more stuff in here. There are other aspects to consider if you want to make it as a blogger or with any online business in general. </p>
<p>A lot has happened. I have started my own online marketing company in Sweden about a year ago: <a href="http://www.svenskseo.se/">Svensk SEO</a>. I have also worked for other Internet marketing companies before I started my own business. I make more money blogging etc now when I have learned and studied all the interesting concepts needed to make it online. It would be fun to share all these stories and also just to start writing in english again. </p>
<p>So.. next step would be to clean this blog from old stuff. I noticed that I don´t even have a PR showing for this domain which is not really a good sign. I think by removing some of the old links will fix this. I have to be more careful with external links. A lot of links points to 404 pages or empty domains. </p>
<p>Ok, that´s it for now.. Later! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>Extreme synchronicity</strong>, does it exist? To me it sure does. It has been sneaking up on me like a snake. I have not seen it until now. </p>
<p><strong>11:11</strong> is a phenomenon already known by many people. What it does is that it reminds you of certain specific times during the day by making you pay attention. Most common is <strong>11:11 </strong>where people report seeing <strong>11:11</strong> on digital clocks, street signs, receipts and such. There are of course other number combinations as well such as <strong>2:22</strong>, <strong>3:33</strong>, <strong>4:44</strong> and others that has specific meaning to you. </p>
<p>A lot of people claim that people are seeing numbers such as 11:11 just because their intention is to look for it. That is true to some degree but I myself have been experiencing this and have not been planning to look at the clock etc at specific times. It just happens. </p>
<p>I think that there must be some kind of meaning to this. If I would do it all subconsiously (which some claim) it just proves that the subconsious mind is very powerful and can be used as a tool by you. </p>
<p>I, however constantly have new ideas about why this <strong>11:11 phenomenon</strong> is happening. It is nothing you really can define. </p>
<p>More sites about 11:11 and synchronicity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>So finally</strong> I upgraded this blog to <strong>Wordpress version 2.5</strong>&#8230; I haven´t touched this site for quite a while so I´m currently doing some work on it.<br />
I noticed that you need both Akismet and Bad Behavior anti spam plugins to actually stop spam, but even then some spam comments manage to sneak in. </p>
<p><strong>So anyway</strong>, I am going to visit my brother in <strong>Toronto</strong> in middle of <strong>May</strong> sometime. I might even stay until <strong>June 18</strong> but I´ll doubt it. The reason for that is that I noticed that there is a <strong>Search Engine Strategies</strong> event in <strong>Toronto</strong> <strong>June 16-18</strong>. I would love to go on one of those events. Here is a link to SES Toronto for anyone interested: <a href="http://www.searchenginestrategies.com/toronto/">SES returns to Toronto</a>.</p>
<p>If you are in to <strong>Internet marketing</strong>, <strong>SEO</strong>, or related and live in Toronto I would love to grab a coffee with you or whatever. <a href="http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=7398046&#038;postcount=5">Apparently Starbucks is a no no and It´s all about Tim Hornton´s</a>.</p>
