Just a friendly reminder that submissions to the First Annual Blog Scavenger Hunt are due December 1st!
I just wanted to say thanks to all the people who have been visiting recently, and especially to everyone who's been leaving comments and hitting the tip jar. Some of the discussions have been really great, and I feel like I've learned a lot in the process.
Over the past few weeks hits have been averaging over 1000 per day, which is pretty incredible. Even with the recent Instalanche factored out, it's been over 800 pretty consistantly. Of course, most of those hits may be from just a couple of people who like to point out when I'm an idiot, but that's ok!
Meanwhile, be sure you check out the First Annual Blog Scavenger Hunt, which I hope will serve to bring exposure to a lot of new (to me) blogs, and increase cross-linkage between different communities. The political punditry blogosphere (in which I'm most active, I suppose) is really dwarfed by the vast multitude of blogs clustered around other topics and hobbies, and I hope the Scavenger Hunt will be an opportunity to interconnect.
Welcome!
Not that I really keep track of my hit counter (hahahaha... ahem), but I noticed that hits are up today. If you don't know, it's often possible for me to see what search terms people use on Google (or whatever) when they are directed to my site. Apparently, people are still under the mistaken impression that I have pictures of Jessica Lynch nude, which I most certainly do not.
The recent surge of interest is probably motivated by the story that Hustler pornologist Larry Flynt has purchased such pictures, supposedly paying a six-figure price so that he could gallantly prevent their publication.
According to the story, Lynch posed for the pictures -- taken by some others in her unit -- before they were deployed to Iraq. Hopefully this serves as a warning to all the young ladies out there: dumb things will come back to haunt you.
Many thanks to the kind gentleman who contributed to the Make Michael Rich Foundation over the weekend. The proceeds are going towards bandwidth, hosting, and handsome Bear Flag League merchandise.
