Burton Speaks

Irony: i·ro·ny n The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.

I'm Burton from Portland, Oregon, United States. I'm 33 and live in the Portland Metro Area. I work hard. I drive fast. I play often. I'm sarcastic, appreciate irony, and find humor in even the darkest of events. I'm non-traditional. I question authority. I'm a know-it-all and a planner. And most days, I wake up thinking the world is full of fundamentally good people... and have a lot of problems when I'm proven wrong. Any other questions?

Site feature: ClustrMap

Thursday, June 29, 2006

So never being one NOT to steal a great idea (thanks, Laura!) I've added a ClustrMap to my Site Information area on the sidebar. So far there's nothing, of course, because it takes a while to update. But eventually it'll give me a graphical representation of where people are looking at me from. (Here's a hint: one in China, one in Texas, and a couple in Portland. Anyone else is a statistical anomaly.)

So let's see how it grows! It'll be fun to watch, and the few of you who read this and AREN'T Laura can add this to your blog/myspace page.) So far it's free (for a viewer count like mine) and it doesn't seem to hurt anything...

The Infinite Jester said...: Sorry to break it to you, pal. China doesn't like you. I have to use a server proxy out of Arizona to view your site. Don't take it personal, China blocks almost all bloggers. They're afraid you'll start talking about Tibet or something...; 6:46 AM, July 01, 2006
Laura said...: I figured as much. So you're the Arizona dot... I was guessing something like that was going on.

Oh... Tibet! Free Tibet!; 12:52 PM, July 01, 2006
