It’s official! I suck
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008That’s right - honesty is the best policy. So in full disclose this is Just a traffic update, yesterday was the worst traffic this blog has had since I’ve been paying attention! (Nov. 07). That’s right, celebrate the little things, because it appears y’all are transitioning to rss readers. Thanks team!
Maybe it is that no one is searching of relevant terms for what I’m writing about, so let’s highlight the top 10 search items, since we have analytics.
- bob’s ichthyosaur - A Great book and apparently the top search term.
- what is scientific management - High school students everywhere are googling.
- twing - Very cool, cool people
- mbifm - A made up acronynm, which apparently means Member of the British Institute of Facilities Management.
- calculating gross margin
- danielle pribbernow - Chick on the Check out blog, wonder if it’s just her searching on herself? Way too much traffic for a Wal-Mart employee. No I mean WAY TOO MUCH.
- dijouri - I made up this name for my second son, 12 years old. I think this IS my son searching on himself or people trying to figure out if I made up his name or people looking for movie made in 2003.
- things i am thankful - This is encouraging.
- afro - Right on.
- giggly quotes - Who searches on giggly quotes?

Top 5 Trollin: Alert Rich, jus utendi et abutendi & the proletariat
Friday, January 11th, 2008So I continue to monitor my Google alerts around Top 5, I tracked top 12 (no traffic) and I tracked Top 7 as well - 1 hit in months. Readers are some of the most insightful folks and other writers do love their Top 5 list and more like to refer to other peoples Top 5 lists - creativity is alive and well! What qualifies as a reasonable list? Wit? Detail? A cool Title?
The most reasonable list according to many authors who linked to it, is the Top 5 SEO and Link Building Challenges for 2008 which have cluttered my inbox. (Uh oh - I have possibly broken the linking rules for good SEO!) I’m so appreciative for the ideas of others, but I am continuously curious about what is of interest and what is not for readers, because while I appreciate that a good deal of words were written - I don’t know why so many people linked back.
The other list of multiple linking was the Top 5 Tips on Making Machinima, apparently a type of gamer movie thing. The most useful list I found was the Top 5 greasemonkey scripts to pimp my new GMail, but I don’t have any idea what to do with it. Wish I did as that FB GMail scripts, looks like a cool thing - maybe. Have you installed GMail scripts? Anywho, back to what you want to read or not, my random retort to a very challenging Canadian - Paul.
At Paulitics a very interesting Top5 List - Top 5 Things I saw in America which, as a Canadian, freaked me right out! First I say only 5? Then, I read them and I thought - really those 5? Fundamentally we have this thing called free speech in the US, it is some inalienable right thing, which was further outlined in a thing called the Bill of Rights and it appears 4 of your complaints are around that, which are fairly important things to American folk.
(tongue firmly planted in cheek for the majority of the rest of the post)
While I think your blog’s name is clever - I think your response is a little too Canadian. A little too “our currency is at parity and we can now buy the goods of the bourgeoisie without doing math” uppity member of the proletariat. A little too “can I get some mayonnaise for my French Fries - no Mayo?!?! How about some vinegar or gravy?” My response is really just in response to item #4, in your inverse ordered list:
A breakfast creation in upstate New York called “Stuffed French Toast”. What does “Stuffed French Toast” entail, you naïve non-American might ask? It’s French Toast (which, keep in mind is cooked in butter) stuffed with bacon, eggs and processed cheese (which they proudly call ‘American processed cheese’, I presume, to distinguish it from real cheese which could, after all, be French and/or offer unAmerican nutritional content). But here’s the kicker: on top of your “Stuffed French Toast” cooked in butter, you will find… a square of butter.
I don’t know what to say, except to create my own retort in the form of a Top 5 list.
Top 5 Reasons Stuffed French Toast Should be Awarded the most American Recipe Ever.
- Everything is better cooked in butter!
- Americans, specifically the xenophobe set, can’t accept anything French without improving upon it and topping with a pat of butter as a is a great start, since cooking with butter is not the same as topping it with butter.
- Processed cheese isn’t just tasty - it is also an optimal cholesterol delivery device which is perfectly square and melts more evenly than real cheddar cheese. Completely american - style over substance.
- Bacon is the meat of champions and pork products are best served wrapped in a bread product.
- Eggbeaters are always a heart smart alternative, if not available, ain’t no never mind since Zocor is just a co-pay away.
But I must say, I did enjoy Paul’s Marx-to-English Dictionary post, so I’ve added you to my reader, mainly so I can reflect on my Workers World days. Thanks for the list Paul and the fun, I’ll keep reading!

Wish I caught this
Friday, December 21st, 2007So I was researching a concept I had on Superfan and randomed into a comedy troupe site from Chicago, Phrenzy. I think this could very possibly have been a great show to go see.
I think I’ll send them an email on the superfan character, maybe it’s a different idea than mine. Maybe not, this Who’s cribbing thing is eerie.
