I Won! I Won!
HMTKSteve told me I won his Top Commenter prize! I won the Simply Catan board game. Just in time for my birthday!
Unfortunately, I had to turn down the offer as it would involve losing my anonymity. But HMTKSteve has given me an even better gift – his support!
HMTKSteve has submitted a couple of my posts to Digg, StumbleUpon and Netscape. He’s also linked to me. My lowly traffic average of about 16-20 visitors a day surged to 257 on the day he Digged my It’s A Thankless World post. Until I looked at my logs, I had no idea why my traffic had increased.
I am honored and touched. He’s also given me tips on how to improve my blog design.
I’m not sure if he feels this way but I feel that HMTKSteve is a bit of a mentor.
It also gives credence to the idea that if you are true to yourself and to others, Good Stuff will happen! I like HMTKSteve’s site. I really enjoy his army day stories – the guy can tell a tale!
If you’re into gaming (sorry to say I’m not), cats (I like cats), technology (cool) and tips on blogging (he’s way ahead of the curve than I), HMTK.com is the site to visit.
I enjoyed these stories of his:
G-Ski and the Heifer : barracks, taxis, love and free rides.
The IT Password Story: UNIX humor!
You Call That A Drink? : Buckets o’ booze!
