It's always nice to get a little spike in traffic. I see that we have a number of new readers finding their way over here from About.com where Mike Moffatt gave this blog (and 9 others) some kind words. Thanks for the link, Mike. And welcome to the new readers. Take a look around. Hope to see you back soon.
And while I'm on the subject of welcoming new readers, it is that time of year again. My visitor log is filled with lots of search terms that sound like term paper topics. Welcome, students...and here's a bit of friendly advice. If you find something here that is noteworthy, take the time to follow the link to the original source. Your papers will be better for it.
Yes... the twice-a-year "term paper search" traffic spike is noticeable. Very.

Hi William,
You're very welcome. I've been lurking here for months without commenting on anything. But all those webhits from London, Ontario likely came from me.
I really enjoy the site - keep up the great work!
Mike
