This video is sublimely fucked up. Nothing I can write will prepare you for it.
The picture of Jim Henson was a nice touch.

I’ve been watching the traffic on the site for a month now and I thought people might be amused by some of the stats.
I have 1 visit from Santiago, Chile and Nanjing, China. The Chinese government banned my site after the first visit. Several journalists were put to death for breaking this story.
Average time on the site per visit: 2 minutes 4 seconds. Which makes sense. That’s about how long I spend thinking about what I write.
I’ve made exactly 65 cents running this site.
Virginia utterly dominates my site traffic. DC second and somehow California third. I know like 2 people in California, so thanks guys!
I have 2 hits from Georgia and 0 hits from RI. That’s pretty weak, I’ll accept the IE7 issues as an excuse but I expect some improvement in the next week.
Thanks to Google Analytics I can see pretty accurately where the hits are coming from and all sorts of cool information. For instance, suppose I had a sister and a brother-in-law living in Bowling Green, KY. Well, I could check and see they have never visited my blog. And that knowledge would make me die a little inside.

I’ve had to redesign a few things on the site so it runs on Internet Explorer 7. I’ll continue to fiddle here and there but the previous issues should be fixed. If you notice any problems or just want to complain about something drop me a line at mike@michaelsoucy.com.
Also, the little buttons at the top of the page don’t do shit. I should probably do something about that.

I’m g-chatting a friend of mine with a status of: Bizzay. That’s the technical term for the little red dot next to people’s names in your g-chat window. Underneath our conversation it now displays “(Friend) is busy. You may be interrupting.” This constitutes the most delicious form of online interaction; the ability to force people to patiently tolerate you without leaving the house. This succulent treat of asshole-dom has transformed my existence. Forcing a helpless friend (or foe) into a conversation they explicitly did not want to have is clearly power gleaned from some ancient God. But this is Google we’re talking about, digital incivility is the least of their dark powers.
The friend also suggested I drop the /wordpress from my site name. I said, “Start your own fucking blog.” To which he deftly replied, “Fuck you I already have.”*
