Yeah, the other dog is mine -- I took this picture. For shame, "Andy E", for shame.

Given all the noise MS has made about building their own cloud-based apps, seems this is more classic FUD to help delay adoption of the Google offering rather than an actual strategic assessment.

I too had heard the "hands" thing -- and that you should not put extra wasabi/soy sauce on the pieces because it's an insult to the chef.

Did you have any crazy expensive Toro? In San Francisco you can tell the really serious sushi places because they have more than one grade of Toro around.

I wonder if getting all of these various international illnesses will make your immune system rock solid.

Perhaps this site (or a sister site) can become a place that anyone who verifies the moon rock remains where it's supposed to be can let the rest of the world know. Or something like that.

Wow, time flies when you're vicariously traveling around the world while sitting on your ass.

@Susan -- if you knew Gary well you'd realize he was being facetious ;)

And here you got me all excited to see a new post...

The AdSense ads on this site are bizarre -- who knew Arndt was such a popular keyword?

It is very true that "Gary Arndt" is not featured on your other site -- you will need some degree of personal celebrity to really take it to the next level. Perhaps an alter ego such as DimpleMan would help...

Re: New Logo?

Shocking that a brand identity cannot be had like an order of fries. Though, you could always just change the font, no? Curious: what was the information they asked for when creating this?

This is by far better quality than YouTube. The BrightCove one doesn't show up at all.

How many of the SU hits were bought vs. "organic"?

From what I have seen out there, if you want more regular readers you'll need more of:

1) Lists -- Top 5/10 [fill in the blank] -- people love lists.

2) [regular feature] of the week/month -- some kind of regular feature showcasing something unusual or interesting -- something that can be captured with a photo, but not just a photo like your photo of the day

3) More "follow my trip" kinds of things -- right now you have lists of places, but no mile counter, quick and easy map to view on the home page (something I know you have wanted to do), etc.

4) An easier way to get a "best of" the blog for new readers.

"Scam" may be giving them way too much credit -- more likely it's just plain a bad business plan.

Does tracking all of these metrics ever make your trip feel less "fun" and more like "work"?
