Pixel Red has released Anakin's Switch Commercial. It's good times, and it's short. For those not in the know, it's a spoof on Apple's "Switch" campaign. If you haven't seen Apple's commercials yet, you might want to watch a couple first just to get the idea.

As a side note, using Apples may be unsafe for your sanity. That said, here's Apple's official Switch page, for anyone who is curious.

May was 53's fourth full month online. The site's traffic increased over 22% from last month, possibly due to increasing the number of posts by 50%.

Good ol' Tomahawk harassed me about not posting on a daily basis, so I started posting a bit more regularly . . . but to teach him a lesson, it wasn't daily. 1754's referral performance this month made a pitiful nosedive, dropping 63% in the past month! Tsk tsk!

The standard Numa Numa post continues its reign as top dog, but it has been losing momentum compared with other posts. Some day, perhaps, we will see see Gary drop out of first place. Or maybe not.

My child may be due on July 18, but the rebirth of this blog is due on June 8 at 10:02.

Check back then to see if you have won the grand prize: A chance to read my blog!

As I mentioned before, I'm promising the same lousy content with a whole new look. Currently, I have basically built this site from the ground up (with a bit of starter code from the default WordPress 1.2 install). For the new design, I started with a downloaded WordPress theme and modified it until I was happy with it. The theme is technically ready to go now, but I will continue to tweak it until June 8 at 10:02.

Perhaps I'll use that day to post some of these old posts that were eaten by the Procrastination Monster.

Are you as excited as I am? Based on the fact that I'm not really excited about it, then you probably are.
