1. I get about 100 unique visitors a day, which seems pretty high to me. But I realized today that if you google "hot girl" in google images, the 'look I'm on the craigslist blog' photo comes up on page two, so I get about 10 visitors a day who are just hoping to see more of her. I also get about 5 who are drawn by the picture of Jolie and Banderas in the bathtub ("Original Sin.")
2. I thought I'd give you a rating update. Almost 6% of my school (pop 1500) are active USCF members. And look how much higher rated they all are compared to (less than) a month ago!

Impressive improvement by all. Congrats to them and their teacher!
"I get about 100 unique visitors a day." No thats cool, and you didn't even have to do anything Crockeresque.
like make pancakes?
Links to my site promise stories of Worthington Clark, the pre-op tranny who has wild sex escapades at truck-stops whilst his wife attends Lamaze class alone. When they get to my blog however, its a scam to sell them timeshares at Calabogie Peaks Resort.
I am interested in starting to play chess. I have a basic understanding of tactics but am looking for a way to improve my game without the intimidation of playing live games. Any recommendations?
Anonymous at 4:17 pm. How about playing on one of the online chess communities? My kids play on the ICC (internet chess club) but there is also playchess.com (I think that's the right web site). You can also play against the computer. Lots of software for chess.
Congrats to all the hardworking students at IS 318.
Pancakes! You and your kids should totally have a big chess-piece-shaped pancake breakfast.
I enjoy reading about your dedication to these young players. It's brilliant how you've created a socially-conscious career around chess. Do you see yourself doing this until you retire, or do you have other plans, too?

Thanks! I hope I will be at 318 for a long time.
