Having 600+ visitors each day is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, I'm elated that so many folks consider my mutterings worth their time. (Although I wonder how RSS aggregators affect hit counts -- is this number artificially inflated, I wonder?)

At the same time, I feel like maybe I'm not doing enough to satisfy the audience. Maybe I should push myself to post once a day. But is this a good idea, if what gets posted is just idle junk? Is it better to find mediocre posts each time you visit, or better material twice or thrice a week?

Well, whatever -- today we've got some cool Flash stuff for you to see. First up is the animation I made for the upcoming Tour de Timor bike ride in Madison. Music by East Timorese music group Cinqo D'Oriente. (Hope I spelled that right.)

Also be sure to check out "If It Ain't Broke, Don't Privatize It!", the winning entry in MoveOn's "Bush in 30 Years" Flash animation contest. This winning entry is very smooth, polished, and informative. The artist does an excellent job of presenting the numbers in a useful way.

Oh, you thought I was going to have Flash stuff? No, you silly fanboy.

What, that's not enough? Well, watch PIzza Call on ABS. Mmmm, tofu sticks. I dunno about the paranoia it implies ("Wanna stop this from happening?"), but it's kinda funny.

Today I'm listening to: Robocop!
