Don't you hate it when people go in a store and walk around for ages, seemingly always staying in front of the item you need, then walk out empty handed? It's the same way with blog squatters. They pick an insanely cool name for their blog, put up one or two posts, then it just disappears. Take the blog Killer Robot for example.

Awesome name, but guess how many posts it has. That's right, NONE!!! Awesome name+ no posts = GRR!!! These people are just hogging good names and not using them. They are outlaws in the world of bloggers. If this ever happens to me, leave a bunch of comments reminding me to stay alive.
Another horrendous example. Star Wars. Could be an amazing blog, right? But yet again, this blog is under construction. And it has been since 2001. Alas, it is dead. Sigh.

The list goes on and on...

This one is interesting. It is not only a name squatter, it used an amazing name like Godzilla, put it in their web address, then started writing the great American novel that never made it. The novel is also called Cockatoo Creek, which has nothing to do with Godzilla. At all.

And another, and another, and another. It's maddening. Here are some more dead blogs.

The ultimate bloggers goal: Do not let your blog go extinct.

Coming Back From the Dead
After remaining dormant for almost 6 months... The gingercat is alive!!! Starting with a post about girl scouts, then a peculiar entry about pi, she is alive!! She slowly makes her way into downtown Tokyo, ripping up all the buildings in sight... then, a voice calls out and lets out a roar! It's Godzilla! The fleeing civilians stop running, turning their heads.
Gingercat looks down at the ground, and catches sight of a schoolboy with a remote control in his hand. She stomps over to Godzilla, and points to the boy. He frowns and looks up at the sky. There is some kind of Mecha- Rodan up there! Godzilla walks over to the boy and picks him up. The boy's eyes grow wide, and he starts screaming. Godzilla pats him on the head, plucks the remote out of his hand then sets him on the ground. Godzilla uses the remote to cause Mecha- Rodan to gracefully crash into a mountain.
Godzilla and gingercat quickly fled the scene. They have not been heard from since.

Signs of the Coming Zombie Apocalypse
Some people think that the world's gonna end in 2012, right? So if the apocalypse is coming, it may as well have tons of zombies, correct? Well, here are the signs that I'm seeing of the coming Zombie Apocalypse.
1. Grammar. I swear, people are trying to kill us nerds by using the worst grammar possible.
2. There is such a thing as competitive yoga. Yoga is supposed to be relaxing.
3. Quarter cupcake day. Our local bakery offers this, and we're talking hard- core cupcakes here.
4. Not getting a single snow day where we usually have at least two.
5. Zombies are everywhere. Seriously, take a look.
So the next time you hear groaning coming from the hotel room next to you, you might just want to grab your baseball bat.
