Hello Readers

I should start by saying that I track the IP addresses of everyone who visits my blog. Not all obsessive-like or anything, but more for curiosity's sake than anything else. I don't really look at them unless I have a day where I have 10 times as many hits as I normally would - then I check out to see where the hits are coming from globally.

I have been getting quite a few hits from France lately. What's up France? Am I listed in a magazine over there or something?
Un grand bonjour va à nouveau mes lecteurs français.


Also, someone from Google regularly reads my blog. Hi new Google friend. I really like your products. No, you don't even KNOW how much I like your products. If I could wrap them and give them for Christmas, I would. THAT IS HOW MUCH I LIKE THEM. And, I am only writing this because I know there is NO CHANCE IN HELL of this ever coming true - but can I have a job there? I know I already HAVE one, and I like what I do and all, but I really, really would love to work at Google. It's like the NASA of the virtual world - every kid should dream about growing up and working there.


To the person who visited here from the Ukraine - YOU'RE MY FIRST VISITOR FROM THAT COUNTRY! I feel all special! You should too.


And finally - HI CHICAGO READERS. Boy oh boy, do you all visit my site from your places of work regularly!

  2. Yesterday I had 26 different IPs hit from the UK. (I am not sure if that is England alone, or all of the UK. A lot of them are from London, Manchester, and Oxford.)

  3. Sheila's from that area, maybe her relatives are on to reading your posts(?) or your brother's ex-coworkers(?) they were all U.K. I have a classmate from Bhutan, would you like me to start that country for you?

  4. I wonder if I'm the google guy? I live in google's hometown and they broadcast free wifi which I use. Ladies are crazy for cheap guys, right? Anyway, hopefully I'm not the google guy, wouldn't want to wreck that dream (they give out sweet shirts for product launches).

  5. Bonjour!

    Not sure why you have so many French readers... It could just be me getting my stalk on...

  6. I gave Sheila a copy of your book and she stayed up until 1:30 am until she finished it. Obviously she has good taste!

  10. Hahaha no that's ok. I think I need to write a code now that recognizes the country of origin and then just redirects to google/translate so the site appears in the reader's home language. I FEEL SO INTERNATIONAL!

  11. I does what I cans.

    If it helps, I went on a is-this-a-date? with a girl who worked at google. She had pretty blue eyes, nice hair, and didn't like me. Ahhh romance.
