Miscellaneous Updates

These are just a few quick blurbs about the blog and crap in general:

Top-Blogs comes through with a few links

- Not that many of these blog directories actually generate much traffic, but I’ve noticed at least a trickle of traffic coming in from ‘Top-Blogs‘. I checked out the referring URL, and apparently I’m #2 or #3 on their Humor List. Wow, must mean they’re pretty desperate if I’m up their at all. I’m sure it’s just because I uploaded a banner, and actually put a reciprocal link on my blog. But, when you look at the rest of the humor blogs on that list, maybe I do deserve to be listed that high on such a well known *cough*nonexistent*cough* blog directory. So vote for me!

The future is in: Blogshares.com

I’ve already written about my quasi-obsession with numbers (although I seem to be a little less obsessive since I’m so busy lately), but this is another form of analyzing numbers that’s actually pretty fun. There seem to be whole markets of ‘blog futures’ and derivatives for ‘buying and selling’ shares in blogs. A pretty cool concept, and you can even trade Gangstas & Hugs too! I try to buy shares in [tag]blogs[/tag] that I read on a regular basis, and they haven’t let me down so far. But it is hard to sell shares for me sometimes when I need funds to buy shares in different blogs. Here’s a few I have in my ‘portfolio‘ at Blogshares.com.:

Blogroll

- The blogroll has moved its own page, as it seemed to clutter up my side bar a bit too much. But I actually think it’s a better idea, since all the blogs I’m reading will be on a single fixed page. I stole the idea from JJ from of course, but I didn’t see a (c) sign anywhere!

Christmas gifts (or New Year’s gifts)

- It’s not too late to get that special someone a nasty little t-shirt from one of my sponsors. Say like TShirtHell.com, BustedTees, DeezTeez, or CrackSmokingShirts. I know, I know, another shameless plug, but I gotta pay for all this bandwidth somehow. Plus, if you buy them, you’ll actually wear them! So help me pay for the unnecessary bandwidth for this and my other blog, please… won’t you?

You could do that most easily by signing up for an account or domain with Globat.com. I host both of my sites with them, and really recommend them.

And yes, it is too late to get that special someone a funny t-shirt for Christmas, as I think most of those merchants won’t be able to deliver by Christmas Eve. But there’s always birthdays and bachelor parties!

Comments-a-plenty

- If you stop by the blog, please leave a comment… I love to hear what people that actually stop and read a bit have to say!

    Hey bro:

    Merry Christmas and have a safe new year. I’ll be posting a few in Jan, and a few in Feb. I’m taking the California Bar exam in February (18 hours of fun), but after that I’ll be in full swing again.

    cheers,

    Shane

    Hi mojotek

    You have a unique writing style that would do well on a get paid to write blogging site where I am a member.
    The money earned will never make anyone rich but I have always managed to make a few bucks above and beyond my small membership fees.
    The real value of the site lies in the feedback and the level of interaction between members. I can honestly say that over the 30 months that I have been a
    member, my writing abilities have been elevated to a professional level and through member interaction, has opened numerous avenues for my efforts. Check it out, I’d bet you would do well.

    Thanks for all the great resources, as usual. I’m considering putting my own blogroll on it’s own page as well, as it has been growing like John Travolta’s waistline! I hope you have a kick ass Christmas.

    jesus H - that gomedome spammer has nailed everyone’s blog today…

    I love all of those crazy t-shirts!



  • mojotek

    Shane: Good luck! Man, I’m glad I chose the panzy route and went with business school instead of law school. We just have to be good at ‘fuzzy accounting’, while you have to pass the bar exam. I’m sure you’ll do great though.

    gomedome: eat a dick.

    The Pheonix: Thank! I hope you do to. And thanks for the info about that oil additive, I just might give it a try.

    Dawn: Yeah, what a jackass. And I’m glad you liked the shirts!

    I checked out the “Top Blogs” list for humor and fuck, they all suck. The one’s that I looked at did anyway. Obviously with yours being the exception. (Mild ass-kissing? Perhaps!)



  • mojotek

    April: Why thank you… I will never get tired of mild ass-kissing. :)



  • April

    I have other oral skills that are much better than ass-kissing, but I’m going to leave that one alone for now. =)



  • Laurie

    Wow, I’m in your portfolio?? I feel so special! Thanks :-)



  • mojotek

    April: I’ll just have to take your word for it. :)

    Laurie: Well, it seems like you’re getting all types of comments and traffic now-a-days, so I’m just playing the market baby!
