So, the real reason I was going to blog was because my friend Bob Glickstein turned me on to an amazingly geeky and fun video about Star Wars. Here it is...

Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn't seen it) from Joe Nicolosi on Vimeo.

Anyway, that said, I dropped by his blog, which I hadn't been by in a bit (bad, bad me), and saw his year end post about the keywords and key terms that had driven traffic to his site. Two point seven percent of his traffic came from "Vampire Lesbian Girl Scouts".

Now, if you read his Vampire Lesbian Girl Scouts post, you will find that he discusses a late October birthday party for a former co-worker named Greg. Okay, I'm a former co-worker of Bob's, my name is Greg, and my birthday is within days of that post. So now I'm getting freaked out and thinking my memory is going, because I do not recall Bob and Andrea throwing me a birthday party, most notably because they're in California and I'm in Seattle, and we're not actually that close that they would do that (although they actually are that nice).

Then he mentions a late night coding session with Greg and I relax. I code as a hobby and have never been involved in a late-night coding session that involved other people. It's another Greg with a birthday really close to mine and some coincidental association with vampires. There the resemblance ends.

For a second there I thought I was my own worst enemy.

But I did learn one neat thing from that post of Bob's. We're running out of helium. If we keep wasting it on kids' party balloons and making our voices sound funny, we could be facing helium shortages in mere decades. So, please folks, if you need floaty things, fill them with hydrogen. Nothing could possibly go wrong. Right?
