What is a carnival anyway

What is a carnival anyway.

Looking through my referral logs yesterday, there was a little surprise. Apparently, there's been a sudden surge of blog links to various zenofeller.com articles, from what they call "carnivals". I'll certainly have to look into that. Till then :

"God is Worse than Television" has been recognized as breach of the XIth Commandment by the action skeptics. Good for them.

Doctor Sanity agrees : A crippling mental condition is clearly a great thing to have. He should know. The folks over at Digerati Life share my angst too.Also Anja Merret.

The expatriate chef found some of my recipes to his liking (albeit maybe a tad too salty :)

The Marketing Whore sees some genius in my piece about the failure of marketing.

Jeff of Sustainablog thinks I'm kidding about global warming being a good thing. Greg Laden does not.

The hundred dollar idea made it's way to Skeet's Stuff (and apparently, Google groups too, in Chinese no less)

Earn Money Blogging found my How to get traffic to your site ? article, if you recall, the piece showing how all search engines together ammount to pennies to the dollar in my traffic stats, and bookmarks make 95+% of it. Things have changed a little since then, it's more like dimes to the dollar nowadays, but still. If it takes you one hour to double the quality of your SEO or five hours to double the quality of your content, you're better off with the later.

Stephanie of Stop the Ride found the Journal thread detailing the making of Epothy, and put it in her Make It From Scratch carnival. Edition 15 ?! This is actually a cool notion.

There's such a thing as a Carnival of Debt Relief, wherein my article on Work and Pay found some shelter. That old thing, I had forgotten all about it. In fact, this is the greatest benefit of reading referral logs, I find old articles of my own that I had forgotten, so I get to laugh and pat myself on the back all over again. It's pleasant.

Anatomy of the spammer brain made it to the Carnival of Network Marketing

America's greatest blog included my real deal post in their carnival, although it'd seem I don't get it. I guess it depends on what "it" means. The folks of Verve Coaching, arguably not quite as great a blog, doesn't see it. Mayhap anarchism lacks verve.

My discussion of renaming as an instrument of governance found a home among the politely quiet dissaproval of Purple Motes

Pet's Garden Blog gives out a general link to my best articles page

Moms and Dads working from home as well as other people working at home on the Internet are now hardened against the lures of guru.com, the well known scam. The people at LifeTwo were in fact so grateful for the heads up, they specifically emailed to thank me. Glad to be of service.

My piece aboud Judge Alvarez and his innovative ideas about issuing injunctions to stop fetus growth made it to the Carnival against Sexual Violence over at Abyss2Hope.

The Real Deal gets to be the closer of the "America is Not My Country" carnival, which is appropriate

Further to my delight, Asylum was featured in the Festival of Good Books, third edition.

Zenofeller writes about globe trotting, the sights, the women, moths and riding the Orient Express among other things in Xenophillia - zeno globetrotter. That was interesting! - Carnival of Trains (Edition 1)

Exposing Steve Pavlina as a reincarnation of Aristotle or Pericles or somesuch, now at the Personal Development Carnival as well as the FitBuff Total Mind and Body carnival.

That's about it for now, but I've only made it half through the list. I will be updating this in a couple days, feel free to email me if I forgot yours. Now, what is a carnival again ?
