This just in...

I've noticed that this ol' blog (sounds like a PBS show, doesn't it? "Tonight, on This Old Blog--Ivan finally gets caught up with his postings...") has reached the pinnacle of being nestled in Salon's Top 100 Blog Rankings (which measures page reads since July 11, 2002). I'm at #100, so this will no doubt be subject to change...but it's still no reason why I shouldn't thank you good people for making it so.
