I’ve noticed an ever-so-slight uptick in traffic to this site, some of which is probably due to Bethany Broadwell’s mention of me in a recent article about blogging that appeared in Quest magazine. Thanks for the mention, Bethany. But with new readers always comes a bit of performance anxiety. I feel like I need to be particularly clever and witty–at least for a few days–or else newcomers will shrug and click their way to some distant corner of the internets, never to return. And we all know that my sense of self-worth is intrinsically tied to the number of hits I get each day.
New readers will also quickly learn that I post links to stories about research into neural implants with annoying frequency. Oh, and I tend to post glowing reviews of any concert involving a band that has a hot female lead singer. I’m sure veteran readers can offer more comments regarding my assorted blogging idiosyncrasies.

…not to mention a lusty yen for fishnet stockings. Heh.
Mark – pleased to meet you! I stumbled on your blog not through Quest Magazine but by doing a blog search on disability etiquette.
I’ll be back!
