Extreme Tracking
*NOTE:
the Extreme Tracker counter provides stats only about visitors to the home
page of this site (the page you're on right now...). Don't
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.
[Those numbers appear to have increased for the 2008 calendar year, but I
accidentally erased my stats for the last quarter of 2008.]  -

Need
a break? Gotcha!
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.
The
Color Test (fancy version of the Stroop Effect - requires Macromedia Flash
plug-in) Gilles' CLOSETCAM
Hit your Reload button to get the most recent ClosetCam shot!
- Then visit the ClosetCam
Archives...
[According to my site stats, during
January 2007, the Closetcam page was viewed 57 times and the Closetcam Archives
page was viewed 50 times. An interesting sociological experiment...] The Perfect Retirement Plan! What
is "Infectious Laughter"?
