A Retrospective

Over at the THorum, we have a webcam portal. Basically that means members can include a link to their webcam pictures and other members can see them all in one (usually) happy place. The idea is to change it frequently so as to keep people’s attentions.

Turns out, I’ve got 26 pictures in the archive. I thought I’d use this program to put together a video of them.

Here’s the video. It’s 2.7M and it has audio, so be careful at work or wherever you don’t want to awaken people. The song is “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” by Green Day, and it is one of my most favorite songs ever. It immediately infuses a semi-sad feeling of nostalgia on whatever is happening along with it. I first became aware of the song when they played it over a video montage in the clip show preceding the Seinfeld finale, so I always think of it as “the Seinfeld song.”

So, anyway, enjoy.

What Say You?

Let’s try this for a while and see how it goes. I apologize that the Archive links don’t take you to any actual archives – I will continue to work on that. I’ve added some links for your viewing pleasure (as always, MadMup.com is not responsible for anything on any of those sites ever), and I’ve even added an e-mail link so you can write to me if you so desire. Comments are always welcome, even if they are snide.

Hits

Okay, I thought this was pretty cool. I was checking out the site traffic stats and noticed I’ve gotten hits from people in France, Brazil, and Canada! Cool! Now, I’m not noticing that I got return visits from them, but one visit was a neat start.

I also noticed that many of my visitors come here via bookmarks, but some come from Blogger.com. And then I noticed the hit from reuben sandwich. Say what? So I went and checked it out. Sure enough, it’s another blog, but she mentioned my song-by-song review of Weird Al’s latest album and had a link to here. I’m giddy!
