Wow,

It’s been forever since I posted to my blog. Sorry for the delays, things have been hectic around me.

This weekend started off great! For those of you who don’t know, Friday started off great as I won a free song from the Pepsi/iTunes giveaway even though the promotion does not start until Feb 1, we had bottles of diet Pepsi at work and I won. I promptly submitted a post to my favorite rumor site, Macrumors.com and posted to the Macrumors forums being a good Mac Geek and letting everyone know I won. I am not sure but I think I am the first person to report winning a song, I know at least on Macrumors I was. Well the editor of Macrumors arn, emailed me and asked me if I’d take a pic of my winning bottle and of course I agreed. When I got home, I snapped off the pics with my Canon PowerShot S220 and sent em in.

I was not prepared for what happened next. I was on the front page of Macrumors and people were commenting on my post. It was pretty cool, I uploaded my pics on to macboyx.com and went about my business. Well Saturday morning, I noticed that my “story” and URL were posted on As The Apple Turns, wow pretty damn cool.

On Monday, I did my usual check of my web page error logs and usage reports and found that I had over 69,000 requests to the page. 47,000 of which came on SUNDAY. To put this in prespective, last month we had 617 requests. Amazing whoo hoo! It also pointed out that I have a bit more work to do on the site. The number one most requested file on the site was the picture of the actual winning cap, but running not far behind was my “Webcam” page where I had hoped to get a QuickTime Stream from my iSight going, I guess alot of people wanted to know what this geek looked like…however the pics of my Macs ranked much higher!

A few more people have signed the guestbook…have you? So not a bad weekend to be a geek!
