I have my standards, darnit!

It seems there is a lot of low-quality content flying around the tubes these days, and I felt it appropriate to set some sort of minimums. Thus...

I will not read any paragraph longer than ~100 words.

I will delete (or thumb down, depending on the context) any comment that scores a Disagreement Hierarchy rating of 0.

I will lower my opinion of any person who completely ignores proper capitalization in their post or comment.

This list to be updated as I further define my pickiness.

"boobs"

I looked at my traffic statistics today. Very little traffic (I guess if I wanted some, I'd tell more people about my blog).

So I looked at the search strings people used to find my site. A good number of them were my name (hi, Mom). However, I did note that if you want random page hits, it seems to be worthwhile to reference some famous actors in conjunction with the word "boobs" in a post.

The indie blog

Perhaps you've seen those little blurbs on other blog sidebars - the "how much is your blog worth" box with G Washington's mug front and center. A bit pretentious? Perhaps. Well, I decided to attach one to the bottom of my insignificant sidebar. Check it out - my blog is worth a grand total of $0.00!

I hereby dedicate this blog to the mysterious gods of the Indie Culture. This blog is Cool, because no one knows about it! If you are reading this, then consider yourself special - you are enjoying something that no one else has heard about! Can you feel the warm glow of being In? The fuzzy sensation of being the only person to discover a cultural product of sub-par quality?

Enjoy this new sensation of Cool. If you'd like more of the same, feel free to check out the Internet. There's an entire genre of music dedicated to chasing this euphoria you've just discovered - bands unsigned by a record label - freeballing it in the music world, as it were.

Much as I'd like to tell you more about other cool indie stuff, I'm too busy being the only person in the know. Peace out.
