Getting Around Some More
I’m still getting around. Another random check of my recent visitors showed the following:

More than enough to stage a World Cup sectional:
- Canada (4) *
- Austria (2)
- Australia **
- India
- Germany
- France
With three ‘Unknowns’, there stands a chance (slight) that more than half of my recent traffic comes from outside the United States. Fascinating. Also, the closest was Winter Park, Florida, 460 miles from my home. (Josh, I’m holding you and BlogOrlando responsible for that one.)
* Peter, three of the four Canucks came via you. You’re big in Canada.
** Lee, the Aussie was yours.
(Postscript: After that snapshot, the next hit came from Tuscaloosa, a scant 60 miles away.)

Hyper-connected, or Stretched Too Thin

An acquaintance of mine lost a child a few weeks back, and I am just now finding out about it. That makes me sad. Twice. Once because of his loss, because it was completely unexpected. And to a far lesser degree, once because I was so out-of-the-loop I didn’t catch it. But why am I

If we can’t get what we need, we’ll grow our own. (More from the mcarp archives… the prophetic genius and brilliance are his; the ones/zeros, pixels, pictures and subheads and pull-quotes are mine.) This is the very last of the mcarp essays, written over a decade ago by former broadcast journalist Michael Carpenter. I got

We don’t really need a Reason to Be, but it certainly helps to occasionally step back and look at a larger picture. What is Occam’s RazR? What do I want it to be? It’s not what we saw from the first incarnation of the “personal weblog.” I don’t share everything here. I have Facebook, and
Content Is King! Long Live the King!

Content is king. It started with a Tweet by Jeremy Meyers, that said the following: “Ironically, content about how “Content is King” is not an example of good content.” I responded with: “If Content were King, then Pink would have stayed dry.” I was referring, of course, to Pink’s performance at the Grammy Awards, where

Owning My Links

Part of the reason I started noodling with WordPress was the ability to “own” my own site. Not have it hosted elsewhere, not beholden to anyone else’s whims and limitations. I can do what I want with the template and the look and the feel and the content. I can even move the URL around,

Usually, I have a good idea why people come to this site. I use the free Sitemeter tool to track hits, and as I generally have low traffic and no ads, that’s decent enough for me. Sitemeter tracks the last 100 visitors, and let’s me know (among other things) the page they hit, how long
Shaking things up

It was time for a new look. I liked the old look, but there was something about the old “old look” that was missing. Yet, the “old” old look lacked several features. This look will get some tweaking in the meantime.
Less is More on Facebook

More than a few people have commented about the new Facebook Lite interface. I will simply add the impressions from a co-worker of mine who is blind. I suggested it to her this morning as we were discussing social networking, and how difficult some of the navigation can be. I had a hunch that the Lite

I saw the news early this morning that a University of Alabama starting defensive end, Brandon Deaderick was shot outside his apartment late last night during a robbery attempt. He’s in good condition with a wounded forearm, and there will be a statement from Coach Nick Saban sometime so0n. It would surprise me if Deaderick
