Believe it or not, I’m walking on air.
I’ve always been a superhero geek, so its no suprised that when I was a kid I enjoyed watching The Greatest American Hero. Much like another 80s tv show, Automan, I’m afraid to go back and watch the original episodes because I’m sure its radioactive craptonium, despite fondly remembering it and digging on the concept.
It looks like others want to revisit the concept as there is apparently a big screen adaptation coming. I think its something you could have a lot of fun with if you approach it the right way. Hopefully the story changes a bit from what’s mentioned in that rumor article, I’m not sure if I like another teacher being the big bad, but who knows. I’ll just keep my fingers crossed it doesn’t become a turdfest.

I’m doing it wrong!
Just heard on WBBM that the hotel in the Trump Tower is open, while they are still building the tower part. A 2 bedroom suite on the 19th floor goes for $2600 a night.
If I had $2600, I’d probably do something different.

- I either need new tires or its really farking slippery out, or both. #
- @bkmcae I agree. Most view all communications. We would they want to hear from members or *gasp* the public. #
- @zemote I always feel not cool enough to go into a W. The one time I stayed at a W (in New Orleans) was a week of unworthiness. #
- Man, my blog got hammered due to something mentioned on a radio show. Behold the power of Google. #
The secret to getting a lot of hits on your blog
So, apparently, to get a shit load of hits on your blog you need a popular afternoon radio show to mention something you mentioned once on your blog and is among the top three hits. My server was having a nice little load and traffic spike as a result.
My unique visitors just today are half the number of last month’s. And one page got 810 hits in just 45 minutes.  For my little dumbass blog that’s mostly become twitter spew, that’s pretty good. I’ve now reconfigured the web server to not load spike like this again.
