6 months. 64 posts. 2011 comments. One million page views. Mike Industries hit seven digits today, and to celebrate I’m giving away an Apple Bluetooth keyboard and Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse to the person (or people) who submit the best comments, in haiku form, as to why they want either device. An example is as follows:<\/p>\n
\nOh Bluetooth Keyboard
\nI Yearn For Your Wireless Touch
\nUntether Me Now<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nThe best haikus posted by EOD Wednesday, will be shipped the products. Multiple entries are fine.<\/p>\n
I want to thank everyone who has been reading and\/or participating in this site over the last several months since inception. I feel like this blog is 99% troll-free<\/a>, and the quality of discussion is top shelf. Never would I have learned<\/a> that the McLean Deluxe burger is part sea-kelp without the vast pool of savants who visit these pages.<\/p>\n
I also want to give a shout out to Dreamhost<\/a>, my hosting company of choice. I’ve hosted sites with many different ISPs in my life, but Dreamhost just continues to completely blow me away. I have zero complaints and a thousand compliments. In fact, I’m so satisfied that I just gave them placement on my sidebar, which is about the closest thing to an ad you’ll find on this site. If your hosting company doesn’t make you want to run over and hug them, you should check out Dreamhost<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Thanks also to The Wolf<\/a> who continues to make the world a better (coded) place. Somebody please clone him<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I’m off for a vacation in the Mayan Riviera now. The diving is supposed to be great. Will post close-up pictures of sharks when I return.<\/p>\n
\nUPDATE:<\/strong> We have two winners! Thanks to everyone for participating. There were more than a handful of really great haikus, but these two stood out as the greatest:<\/p>\n
