THIS IS POST TWO THOUSAND Y’ALL! Of course this incarnation of ResearchBuzz only goes back to 2006 and is very incomplete. Moving from FrontPage, to Movable Type, to self-hosted WordPress, to WordPress.com has made things a bit chaotic. I’ve been doing ResearchBuzz since 1998 (sixteen years!) and I still love it and I’m still crazy about search engines and I’m still so grateful you’re reading!

Microsoft has restored its security alert e-mail service. Here’s how to sign up.
Keeping this handy: How to install, remove, and manage fonts on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Good afternoon, Internet…
