I'm in Winnipeg. Occasionally I check my Site Meter data to see how people are finding my site. By far the most interesting are search requests. For example, someone using Google searched "high resolution jango fett pictures". Er, ok. Someone else searched '"randy cohen" and music and downloading'. Now, to me, that's a cool search. Randy Cohen is the author of the book, The Good, The Bad & The Difference, and writes a weekly column called The Ethicist in the NYTimes Magazine. Perhaps this searcher was looking for Cohen's thoughts on downloading music from the 'net. Way cool!
This is the best one, I think: "Samuel de Champlain and the stuff he wasn't good at ." Like, what is UP with THAT? For you non-Canadians, SdC was a French explorer who visited the New World in the early 1600s. He's mentioned on my site because I'm one of a zillion descendents of one passenger on one of his voyages, a man (young boy at the time) named Nicolas Marsolet. But "the stuff he wasn't good at"??? And the weirdest thing of all? My site is the first hit of that search.
