To disable google search wiki, just add the following to the end of the url after doing a search:
&pws=0
You can also sign out of google’s personal web search program in your account settings. Even if you do not use the search wiki to vote results up or down, google does appear to be trending and custom tailoring results based upon your traffic patterns. In doing SEO, it is important to know that the results you are looking at are not biased.
On a recent trip to the Benicassim Festival in Spain, I purchased a pair of quick-dry camping pants from Titanium for the trip. Walking to outside the festival grounds and sitting on our back-packs whilst waiting for the campsite to open, we took the opportunity to crack a bottle of Rioja we’d got on RENFE (a quick note on RENFE – if you’re on the site and can’t select English you need to select the drop-down labelled Seleccione su Idioma to make it so, which means you have to speak Spanish to get the site into English, go figure!)
Red Wine is a perfect libation for festivals – primarily because it doesn’t need to be kept cold; it doesn’t lose its fizz and if you’re drinking wine locally produced its dirt cheap and super-good. Within minutes of popping the cork however I’d managed to spill the Rioja on my new pants and was questioning the merits of wine in a situation where a shower is hard to find… when suddenly, with a splash of from my water bottle – the wine was gone. Brilliant! Wine proof pants – what more could a young millennial wine-lover at a music festival wish for? I reckon marketing the pants specifically as wine-proof and selling it at Bonnaroo could be a good gig.

GrapeThinking is a new way to think. Great thinking, green thinking…. Grape Thinking!
We are a sustainable development company with a deep passion for benefiting the health of the world. We build biodynamic vineyards and environments that create amazing elixirs. These elixirs are incredible for your health, and connect you to each other and the earth. It is the ultimate sustainable product!
We love to think about everything from nature to technology to sustainability to art to politics to community, while drinking a little of our vino for inspiration. We’re fascinated by nature and technology because they represent art and science, or “nature to the grid” as we like to say. In essence, they give us a tangible platform to express the two opposing ways of thinking in our world, both subjective and objective. You’ll find ideas covering everything from biodynamic agriculture and spirituality to the difference between the semantic web and microformats. The purpose is to be inspired by a subjective experience of the world around us in our quest to create objective ideas, products, and technological solutions to the world’s greatest sustainability problems (health, energy, waste, community).
