Tis the season

Mar 13 2007


Yes, I’m eagerly waiting for the regular season to commence. Especially with daylight savings kicking in. That means barbecuing swings into full gear as well. Baseball, barbeque, and baseball, those are the three B’s right? My eagerness probably explains the video on the front page. I’m relatively certain that it won’t be the last, and rightfully so I might add.

In other news, I’ve got the lovely proposition of revamping a site for a friend of mine. Lucky me, time to wax creative again. Yet another site to add to the portfolio. I’ve got some good ideas for it already, now it’s just a matter of putting finger to keyboard and mouse to see how it develops.

Speaking of revamps, Katherine revamped her site. She set it so that no matter where you are in the world, her site’s theme will reflect your time of day. Pretty damn impressive. Check it out for yourself. But wait, there’s more. So after putting in the time and effort to find an appropriate code to use that didn’t call to the server’s time (which was a tough search, not much in the way of google info for her to use) she adds the finished version, along with code to her thumb’s up on StumbleUpon. Within hours, as is the case with her site, she gets 2000 hits. Popular gal, that one. So eventually one of the visitors decides to ‘Dig it’ on digg.com, and the next thing you know her hits go through the roof. People are adding it to their digs like crazy, and in true internet celebrity fashion, she makes the daily top 10 across all categories. Damn fine work, if you ask me. Of course, she can tell the story better than I can, but bottom line, she had over 30,000 hits in about 30 hours. I/we were amazed.

One day, I’ll have that superstar notoriety, but until then, I’ll just be forced to continue on my long struggle towards achieving internet dominance. Until that time comes though….
