In the last two days something interesting has happened here on our humble little blog. We’ve had 978 hits from The Great White North. In 48 hours.
I wish I could tell you that something one of us had written was brilliantly funny or had gone viral, but somehow I doubt that’s the case. While both days were fairly international and we did have visitors from around the world and, indeed, our total hit count was more than just the Canadian total for both days, something’s up.
I have a theory.
And as you all know, as January ends we enter the doldrums of winter. We’re experiencing a freak break in the cold with temps in the 50’s today. But it will get freezing again.

So far today we’ve seen some pretty inventive April Fools Jokes from corporate America. The first to cross my virtual desk was this one from “Warby Barker.” It’s a very well done prank by Warby Parker, an online glasses retailer with a social awareness bent.
One interesting feature of WordPress is that is shows us how people find our site, either through links or search terms. And for some reason, certain search terms steer people to our blog more often than others. I have no idea why. One of these searches involves porcupine quills, and the other involves Kevin Smith and his dachshund, Schecky. I have no idea what the porcupine thing is about, unless it is one of Kelly’s Etsy or Regretsy things. But the Kevin Smith thing I know about. Seriously, we have become a subsidiary of Kevin Smith’s publicist or something with all the searches that lead here. It’s cool though, because we like him, and we like dachshunds, and we like his dachshund. So he gets some free publicity from us, and in a certain way we get some free publicity from him. It’s all good.
