Understand Your Site Visitors - For They Might Be Guatemalan Orphans
Friends come to the sites you create to connect and be entertained, regardless of value of content. Random people visit the sites you create because of the information that you write about better than most others on a given subject. I recently remembered to seek out the answer to "why do random people stuble upon my sites?"
Google Webmaster tools are easy, free, and answer this question. Here are the keywords that generated visitors to this site. Interpretation: Guatemalan Orphans are a hot topic and a big reason people value me.

New Project: Emulate LEDIUM Mood Light
My new declared project is to emulate the Mood Light Tile product from LEDIUM. My end result will not be nearly as good, but it will be less than the $500 for a 2x2 panel (8x8 shown) that they usually go for. I'm thinking 2x3, controlled by a basic stamp.
Challenges:
- Find frosted frameless cubes, isolate each from bleedover
- Find bright RGB LEDs with an even wash

Testing Windows Live Writer
This is a test of Windows Live Writer, for offline blog post composition. Easier to do links, WYSIWYG images, check spelling - everything I'm sure my friend Alex hates.
