1/3 Geek

I don't know if this bodes well for me, but I scored "33.33333% - Total Geek" on the The Geek Test. Give it a test, and let me know how you do. If my little brother is reading this post, I estimate that you will get at least a 45%.

Teacher, I'm Confused

Ok, putting the below maps on the site, I got to thinking about Greenland. For some reason, I've been confused as of late, in regards to where it is placed in the grand scheme of continents and all. So I did a search in Google for "Greenland Europe or North America." I had to laugh at the first few entries. The blurb under the World66 entry says, "North America consists of three countries, the United States , Canada and Greenland." While the next entry for a Google regional search/North America/Greenland has the following phrase in it "Greenland - http://www.mapzones.com/world/europe/greenland/index.php Includes..." Notice the word in bold.

So, after a little more searching I am happy to report that I believe Greenland is part of North America, with Canada and a bunch of other countries north of the Panama Canal. But at the same time, Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, which is part of Europe. Greenland has home court advantage, or home rule so they are autonomous, not decepticons. So to sum it all up, geographically Greenland is North American, politically they are European.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Welcome Visitors From Around the World

I was doing a little bit of stat checking, and since this little website started a three years ago, over 28,600 people have stopped by for a visit. Believe it or not 3,500 even came back again, and 866 have visited 10 or more times. For you math geeks out there the average person spends just under 2 minutes on the site (118 seconds to be exact), so if you do the math, that is a whole lot of seconds people have spent on this site.

The Boy Gets Around

I found this little site tonight and found that I've seen over 80 percent of the states. Not doing to bad for someone who has spent most of the last six years in Europe.

Exciting Music News

If you are a fan of Vigilantes of Love or Bill Mallonee, some exciting news came out yesterday. The following is from the press release:

NEW BILL MALLONEE SOLO RECORD, "PIN MY HOPE," TO BE RECORDED, RELEASED IN MAY!

A new folk-rock record featuring all new songs will be released in May. In something of a return to form, Bill has 26 brand new tunes to choose from (in the Americana vein) as he enters the studio to record in March. Currently he and Jake are fleshing out the songs, and assembling a studio band for the project, which will include many Athens luminaries. Buddy & Julie Miller will also contribute musically, perhaps also in a producer's role! The CD will bereleased this May. If you pre-order this album before March 17th (St. Patrick's Day) you'll also receive a special 4 song EP.

Some of these tunes if not all will feature the contributions of Buddy & Julie Miller. This fully produced EP will only be available to those who pre-order "Pin My Hope." The EP will not be outtakes or extras, but songs from the sessions created especially for the EP – never to be replicated ever again!

The price is $15. Shipping and Handling is extra. Go to the Mall at www.billmallonee.net for more information.

Finally, My Car Has Arrived

Ever since my childhood I've been waiting for one of the many cars that I saw on television to make it beyond the screen. How I longed for the day when I had a car that would talk, and even drive for me. Or how 'bout one of those fun vehicles that B.A. and his team would put together. I would even settle for one of those 'suped up Viper's from the show of the same name. Well, swing by the Mazda website and then click "Transformers RX-8," and you will see many boys dream come true (almost). But then, if we can put a small robot on Mars, why can't I get one of these cars to drive down the street. Then again I would bet that a car like that would cost as much as putting a robot on Mars.
