Month: July 2005

sambot.com has been getting a ton of hits from interneters (interneter n. one who internets.) who come by way of search engine. These brave souls are seeking pictures and information about “Sam, the ugliest dog” and somehow end up here. Well my lost friends, “Sam, the ugliest dog” does not reside within these pages. No, “Sam, the ugliest dog” lives elsewhere. This is the home of Sam, the most attractive troglodyte.

But, so as not to dissuade my newfound readership and to preserve my upped traffic statistics, here is a picture of Sam, the ugliest dog. Enjoy (if you can).

It’s been a long time in the making. Well, that’s not true. Three days maybe… but months upon months of procrastination (and as I’ve mentioned before, I’m a pro at ‘crastinating)! Anyway, that little button up there in the upper right corner of sambot… you know, the one that reads “portfolio,” but has never once pointed to anything even remotely resembling a portfolio? Yeah, you see it. Well, click on it. Go ahead. Don’t be afraid… yet.

The site is called disinfekt. It’s going to house my creative endeavors for a while. As of right now, twelve pieces live on disinfekt.com. I am considering the site to be my mini/temporary portfolio. Mini because it’s not quite as elaborate or feature-rich as I envisioned it to be. Temporary because it’s only a working prototype. But, I’ve got some interviews for freelance projects coming up, and I needed to have something online. And there you have it.

go: disinfekt.com

Check it out. Let me know your thoughts.

I just spent the last half hour being so goth… or was I being patriotic? Well regardless of what mode I was in, I sat on a gravestone in a graveyard and celebrated our nations independence by watching things explode into shiny colors high above.

Ohhh… shiny…

There were a few other goth patriots there. In fact, I almost stepped on one… he was clad in pure darkness (as any good goth should be. Unless you’re an ironic goth. Then pink is ok). Much to my delight, the other goth patriots accepted me into their clan almost immediately. Twas to my immediate benefit that I chose to wear a black t-shirt this evening. Twas also to my benefit that it was too dark for them to notice that this particular black t-shirt came from Disney’s Epcot Center. Had they realized their folly, I would have surely died… during the Dungeons & Dragons game that we played after the fireworks. (I wish!)

Hmmm… I just checked out my June web stats via The Webalizer (it would enhance this post greatly if you would use your most intimidating Arnold voice while reading the words “The Webalizer.” Thank you for your cooperation). The following is a list of the top 5 search strings that users submitted to their favorite search engine, which in turn pointed them to sambot.com (those poor, misguided souls):

1) satan
2) death star
3) guitar smash
4) darkness
5) smash guitar

Satan as number one!? Hell yeah! Although, I can’t help but be a little concerned. Ah well, I sold my immortal soul to the devil long ago… in exchange for a Nintendo, as I recall.

My favorite search string however, clocks in at lucky number 14.

14) toilet

Oh, how appropriate.

I knew Blogger wouldn’t let me down. They’ve fixed their stupid formating problem. Hooray!

It’s interesting to note that in all of the past posts where I was annoyed by Blogger, I never once linked to them. Now that Blogger is back on my A-list, I felt it appropriate to express my love for them once again. Love, as you know, comes in many shapes and sizes. This one takes the form of a hyperlink.
