The Making Of How To Use An Escalator In DC

in ,

Several weeks ago, just after this launched, I had an idea for a site of my own. The idea brewed for a few days, and then one night after getting home from work, I spent a few hours coding and $10 to register a domain. I made http://howtouseanescalatorindc.com.

It was a Thursday or a Friday, and any web designer/developer worth his/her salt knows that you launch websites on a Monday or Tuesday, for those are the highest traffic days of the week. The next week came. I was busy, or not in the mood - I forget why exactly. The next week I was on vacation in San Francisco. The next week I was back at work, but similarly busy. But today...around 12 noon I thought. Why not? Why not today? At 1:00 pm I sent out a tweet to a few select DC Twitter friends.

Shortly thereafter it went viral via tweets. That's when @unsuckDCMetro retweeted this.

And then this this happened at 3:00 pm.

And then THIS happened at 3:45 pm.

As of 5:00 pm I've picked up 50 followers on twitter. This blog has seen an increase from 20 unique visitors today to 250+ with 560 pageviews. And http://howtouseanescalatorindc.com has blew through 5000+ uniques with 10,000 pageviews just now. The numbers were 1/2 this just an hour ago.

Hi Mom, I'm famous.

Update: As of 9:10 pm est, http://howtouseanescalatorindc.com has just topped 12,300 unique visitors with 30,000+ page views.

Craig Ferguson's Many Musical Intro Covers

in ,

I've been a fan of Craig Ferguson for several years, especially after this aired: Part 1, Part 2. I think he is one of the most genuine people on TV.

What I love about him is his utter disregard for making a complete fool of himself every night without shame. Occasionally he will replace his before-the-credits intro to his show with a music-video-cover which usually include costumes. I've been lucky enough to watch a few of these shows, but I stumbled across one of these on Youtube over the weekend and noticed that he's actually done quite a few of these. I felt compelled to make you aware of them all, because they're all great.
