I found this blog post from Matt Cutts quite interesting. For URLs, he’s suggesting using dashes instead of underscores for indexing in search engines, like Google. Dashes vs. underscores August 25, 2005 in Google/SEO I often get asked whether I’d recommend dashes or underscores for words in urls. For urls in Google, I would recommend using dashes. Why? To find out, let’s take a trip in the Google Time Machine. Set the dial for 1999, the year Matt first discovered Google. Matt was using, I dunno, maybe HotBot at that point? The curtain rises: Matt: Hmm, this search for [FTP_BINARY] didn’t turn out the way I wanted. I got a couple scuzzy looking urls, and the other documents just have the words “FTP” and “BINARY” but the term “FTP_BINARY” doesn’t actually appear.

Still clipping together footage from last week’s rigging course. In this video, Lauren and Logan work on transitioning the edge from steep angle to high angle – now dubbed “The Whale Maneuver”.

I spent last week at a Rigging for Rescue course. During a usual rigging scenario, two of our teammates ran into bees. Both were attached to the litter on ropes, hanging from the side of a cliff. They could not get away from the bees until they were lowered. We could not see them, and had no idea what was going on. But when we heard the desperate call for “DOWN”, we knew something bad was happening and we needed to move quickly. The whole scene unravels on video via a helmet cam Amber was wearing. It’s blair-witch style, but gripping none the less. Luckily, neither were allergic to bees and ended up being okay.
