Tam of View From The Porch moves from Tennessee to Indiana.

A senatorial candidate in Tennessee starts blogging on The View From The Front Porch.

Looking to hijack a little of name recognition?

Tam K takes on the Stanley vs. Craftsman war, or something equally superfluous.

Hey, don’t forget the other blog: QA Hates You.com.

Guess My Crime

MfBJN is the only hit on Google for
Monitoring the monitors "Macho man is dead!"

I can only guess what that person was looking for.

The Meatriarchy returns.

The next time I update my sidebar, he’ll be back on it. Also, I’ll remove the dead man, the dead candidate, and the dead paper link.

I’m here; I’m just trying to think of something clever to say.

Man, there’s nothing better than a smuggle who visits this site through a Web search and leaves a condescending comment on a post that’s several years old.

Like this one.

I mean, brother, it must be hard trying to express your biting, insightful wit on a backwater blog in a post that hardly anyone read in 2005, much less 2008.

But I publish them, oh yes, I do. Because I’m not a hater.

But I have been posting regularly at QAHatesYou.com.

I removed Andrew Sullivan from my blogroll a couple years ago, probably about the time he was advocating that the Federal government overtax the rubes in the big states who need gas to travel between points on the vast maps, unlike our betters on the East Coast who trip on a coffee table leg in Connecticut and their elbows strike the floor in New York.

However, the intern in charge of putting together the Kansas City Star‘s Blog Bits section has us together in Friday’s edition.

Apparently, I am the number 3 Google hit for winning the lottery and awol.

I haven’t made an announcement yet, but you can learn how I feel about software developers at QAHatesYou.com.

I’ve linked to it before and I read it a couple times a week, but now it’s a bona fide Web phenomenon: I Can Has Cheezburger? appears in Business Week:

He saw traffic on the blog, I Can Has Cheezburger, which he runs with his partner, “Tofuburger” (she refuses to disclose her real name) double each month: 375,000 hits in March, 750,000 in April, 1.5 million in May. Cheezburger now gets 500,000 page views a day from between 100,000 and 200,000 unique visitors, according to Nakagawa. The cheapest ad costs $500 for a week. The most expensive goes for nearly $4,000. Nakagawa, an accidental entrepreneur who saw his successful business materialize out of the ether, quit his programming job at the end of May: “It made more sense to do this and see how big it could get.”

Yeah, I know the feeling. I’ve been blogging here for over 4 years, and I’ve seen my daily traffic go from 10 to 120 visitors a day, and I’ve made (theoretically) $.08 in money from the Amazon Associates program.

Unfortunately, the proprietor of I Can Has Cheezburger has already found out about how big it’s going to get. I hope he’s not planning to retire on it, because Internet phenomena come and go.

But still, it’s a cool site and it’s neat that the fellow can make some scratch from it.

MfBJN is on the blogroll at Team Kinder, named for the Missouri Lieutenant Governor.

To be frank, I’ve never heard of him, which I assume means he’s a more efficient version of Dick Cheney, the older statesman who controls the diminutive, younger figurehead in the executive office.

Because modern commentary would have me know that government works in the hands of Republicans.

Either way, the woman loses: breast cyst or noggle
