November: from slumped to pumped

Stats-wise, November started off fairly anemically, but once I got back from my walk on the 12th, the numbers began rising, and I had that one crazy day of over 12,000 visits. so I'm ending the month with over 40K visits total (and yes, that includes bots), up from a projected "barely made it" of a little over 20K visits (remember, 20K is my sauver l'honneur minimum). I wonder if I'll ever get over 100K visits. That probably won't happen until I'm in bed with a terminal disease and blogging out my final entries.

Blogger needs to figure out how to trigger the upload of a "This Means I'm Dead" post. Maybe with the Internet of Things, Blogger can link future posts to my heartbeat, and should my heart ever stop, that'll be the moment a post pre-written by me will appear: "If you're reading this, it means I've died." That sort of thing would take the burden off friends and relatives to post in my place. Of course, if I were to die suddenly, and during a period in which I'd written a bunch of scheduled posts, the reader would, rather morbidly, see those scheduled posts after my death... so maybe there would need to be some kind of failsafe feature to prevent that. (Think of the movie stars who die but still have films waiting to be released.)
