I’m finally tracking my negligible traffic
Hey, remember the other day when I admitted that I hadn’t even gotten around to setting up a Google Analytics account to follow this website’s hits and traffic?

Twelve steps
The Righteous Melody strip I published yesterday is the two hundredth strip we’ve produced. It’s also the first strip we’ve ever published on St. Patrick’s Day. It seemed like a good time to kick off a twelve-strip story arc. Stay tuned this month and check it out. I don’t yet know how it’s going to […]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, I suppose!
This is what I had to say about St. Patrick’s Day last year. It basically still applies this year, so here it is again. As a bonus, I also complained about a bunch of other stuff. I also wrote this and this, if you’re in the mood for a shorter read. And I’ll be kicking […]

Political theatre versus “abuse of media”
I was a little heavy handed over the Miller thing yesterday, so I’d like to argue a quick point that I should have made from the start. I know this is literally yesterday’s news, but for the sake of being fair, I’d like to clear something up. The Star called Miller’s announcement “political theatre” in […]

I’m a little disappointed by the hissyfit thrown by certain journalists and pundits over the budget announcement that Miller made this morning. I don’t want to tell anybody how to do their job, but it looks like I’m about to try, because I think the way it was done this morning was a pretty telling […]

All kinds of help wanted
