be fooled by site stats that brag about "hits"- each graphic on a page counts
as a hit. If you want an indication of real traffic on
a site, look for "Page View" statistics - each page someone opens on a site counts
as one, regardless of the number of graphics on that page. According to my commercial
web hosting service, which provides more comprehensive stats about the visits
to my site, over 900,000
page views (2.6 million hits) took place from January to December 2007.  -

Things I've found on websites that make me wanna go "Gotcha!" Rants
- 'cause everybody needs to vent from time to time, eh...
(website design and speling and stuff) The Political Compass
Read the blurb on the main page of this site, then take the (entirely anonymous)
five-minute test. It will tell you where YOU are on the political compass.
- includes a list of influential thinkers who think like
you, based on your test results... Try
the Stroop Effect...
Very funny perception game that I found
on the Ontario Science Centre website.

Color Test (fancy version of the Stroop Effect - requires Macromedia Flash
plug-in) Gilles' CLOSETCAM

[According to my site stats, during
January 2007, the Closetcam page was viewed 57 times and the Closetcam Archives
