How to get linked by the New York Times

Do a post full of insight about Life, The Universe, and Everything?  Nah, toss up a picture (from someone else, no less!) with geeky Linux humor, and get a couple extra thousand hits.

I'm pretty sure that burning smell is coming from my Sitemeter counter,  I'll pro'lly have to get the bearings repacked now.

Seriously, it seems to be the goofy stuff that attracts all the attention.  Al Gore's Intarw3bz sure seems a silly place.

    I don't know if I should congratulate you or mutter "New York Times, that poor sot" under my breath.

    Dad, you're welcome. :D

    You're lucky I don't update my blog anymore.
