Hearsay Exception: Blawgcoop Throttled!

In a first, Dreamhost, my host for this domain, blawgcoop.com, and others, sent me an email today that said in part:

This is just to let you know that per your request, we have now “throttled” your domain blawgcoop.com.

I was sort of expecting that, since earlier I'd noticed a certain Hearsay Exceptions Movie was getting a lot of hits. It turns out someone named “Will” at MSNBC found it interesting (scroll down a bit), and apparently, lots of people follow links from Will's site. Will was kind enough to link to another version of the movie hosted elsewhere, and after a bit of adjustment, things are now back to normal. (I had the “throttle” threshold set pretty low and simply raised it to accommodate the extra traffic.)

For the record, this cool movie originated with Energy Spatula—one of her classmates made it for evidence class and was kind enough to share it with her, then I posted it on Blawgcoop because she wasn't sure where to host it. I'm telling you, this guy should make a whole series of Law Schoolhouse Rock videos! His audience wants more!

Being the geek that I am, I only hope that someday I will create something remarkable enough to shut down this website. You know you might be a web geek when...

Running & Fundraising: T-Shirts All Around!

Things I've learned by this point in my marathon training:

• Hydration is a process, not an event.
• Bodyglide is no longer optional. Ouch.
• Great running/workout song: Skydive by Nuspirit Helsinki.
• Getting out the door in the morning is the hard part; once you've run for about two minutes you're always glad you're doing it.

The running is going well, actually; the fundraising is a different story. But since I like you so much I'm going to give you another chance to help out and this time you get a great t-shirt out of the deal! That's right: If you buy one of these two shirts below from Law School Stuff, a percentage of what you pay will go to the Whitman-Walker clinic and my marathon fundraising efforts. But be sure to buy by clicking the links below; if you buy directly from Law School Stuff (or if you buy any other shirt) you'll still get a great shirt, but you won't be helping out the whole marathon effort. Mmmkaay?

Buy a shirt, support the marathon imbroglio!Yay! Thanks!
