Not exactly what you were looking for

A lot of my traf­fic on this site is from search engines. And while I like to think that my site is a beacon of knowl­edge in the waste­land of the Inter­net, I get the feel­ing that not every­one is find­ing what they were look­ing for.

Google’s Web­mas­ter Tools lets you see what search terms led people to your site, as well as what your aver­age search rank­ing is for those terms. Here’s what I have for the last week:

Top search queries Aver­age top posi­tion
suck me 9
gmail noti­fier fire­fox 8
heif­fer project 2
auto zoom 4
“fat js” 2
gahan 6
bet­tered 8
grease­mon­key scripts 14
ufc 75 wikipedia 7
jemal 9
drew carey marine 10
ufc 75 pre­dic­tions 4

pico pica 6
all my shirt 10
not kosher 10
skagen 396ltmb 5
first night 8
all star batman and robin the boy wonder 7 tor­rent 9

Some of those people got what they were look­ing for. But who­ever searched for “suck me” prob­a­bly didn’t want an arti­cle about comic books. And while I did write about Batman, I don’t host any tor­rents to down­load that issue.

So, I’d like to apol­o­gize to free-​loaders and porn-​seekers: I’m sorry Google sent you here, but you’re going to have to look elsewhere.

Review: Skagen 396LTMB Men’s Watch

For my birth­day this year, my wife got me this cool Skagen watch. It has a stain­less steel mesh band and a tita­nium body, both of which are black as a result of ion plat­ing. The mesh band is per­fect for me because it doesn’t get caught in my arm hair the way a lot of metal linked bands do, but it also doesn’t soak up sweat the way that leather bands do.

It has glow-​in-​the-​dark hands and mark­ings, a second hand, and the day of the week and month. The face is a hard­ened min­eral crys­tal, and it’s water resis­tant to 3 atmos­pheres. The clasp is a fold-​over with a second fold-​over catch, and the mech­a­nism is easily adjustable and fun to play with.

The whole thing is also incred­i­bly thin and light.

I’d say it’s prob­a­bly the per­fect watch, and easily the nicest watch I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t be hap­pier. Buy it on Amazon. And yes, that’s an order.
