I monitor my blog’s traffic regularly. Don’t be alarmed. While I could see where you all come from, what you’re looking for, and all that good stuff, I just don’t care to spend the time. I look at a few stats: 1. Keywords, 2. Country of Origin, and 3. Browser & Platform. I mention this […]
This post contains not one, not two, but THREE movie reviews. I am confident some of my reader base can handle three things at once. It’s nice to know my vote counts, too. If you get Entertainment Weekly magazine, they have the Critical Mass section where critics from around the country have their reviews posted […]
Normal people everywhere rejoiced as Paris Hilton, the out of control über-skank, was returned to jail today. Here’s a woman totally out of control, and her hangers-on have done nothing to tell her she’s behaving like a spoiled brat. At her age, it’s simply ghastly behaviour. Here are excerpts from the wire report; follow the […]
The Miami Herald and daily fishwrapper has slipped to a new low today. 5 June 2007 Dear Editor: I have been a subscriber of the Miami Herald for well over 20 years and I read it almost every single day. Lately the numbers of errors in proofreading have been utterly appalling. I am not sure […]

I have decided to blog about a very unusual magazine to which I subscribe called Smoke, A London Peculiar. It’s no secret I’m a big fan of London, what with my London webpage and all. There are many magazines around on a great variety of subject, but few quite as peculiar as this one. Why […]
Yes, I’ve seen it despite the abysmal reviews: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. And you know what? It’s heaps better than Shrek 3 or Spiderman 3, and in fact it’s better than the previous film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest as well. Nobody would call this film “art” or even good […]
It’s thanks to the blog naturally. As of June 2005 there were 68 million web pages and that number has, quite obviously grown. A site called alexa.com ranks them all based on traffic analysis.
