Agenda for the Weekend

Yes, this is terribly off-topic and has nothing to do with the web or design or anything remotely artistic. However, after five days of traveling all across the southern half of Minnesota, something has to be said.

Without further ado, here’s a short collection of things that had to happen this weekend in more or less random order:

• See Chris and Amanda who’d flown from Germany for…
• …Matt and Laura’s wedding, in which I was a groomsman
• Deliver approximately 4000 stuffed envelopes to the mail house for a client’s mailing
• Go to Grandma and Grandpa’s farm with my brother for the holiday
• Stay out of trouble

I’m a shortstat addict. I like to keep an eye on the [paltry] traffic to my site, so I routinely check my shortstats all day long. Today shortly after 4pm, a huge string of referrals from cssdesign.se showed up. A quick click later and I discovered that I’d been singled out for…well, I’m not sure. I don’t know a lick of Swedish. All I know is that my site was posted on cssdesign.se and a whole bunch of people were coming to check it out. Judging from my typical visitation (which is rather pathetic), chances are you’re one of those people. If so, welcome! I’m Joel. Someone in your country decided my site was worth seeing. I’m attempting to fulfill that. Keep reading, please.

I’ve been watching with amusement as the musical baton made it’s way around the “webdev geek circle” these past few days. I kept hoping that some big important guy or gal somewhere would spontaneously pass it to me, but alas, it would not happen. However, a really cool orange frog came through today. I am finally cool…at least until people see what I’m listening to…
