Simon’s Notes

A few minutes ago I sat down at my computer to make my one or two posts for the day, and I was suddenly hit by an unsettling realization, I had writers block! For those of you that don’t know what writers block is, its when you sit down at your computer, you think that maybe something great is going to come to you but all you end up writing is blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

There are a lot of elaborate theories for getting rid of writers block, and one day I’ll give you two or three of my own. But today the solution was actually very simple. I started surfing around other blogs, and checking my stats for the hundredth time when I decided to check how I was doing with Technorati. I love Technorati, they always have something nice for me when I’m down, but nothing in the world could have prepared me for this:

Some of you might be wondering what in God’s name are you supposed to be looking at and why is it so special. Well if you squint a little at the middle of the picture, you’ll notice that ‘Simon’s Money Notes’ is ranked number 1 and I’ve got a nifty little ‘Top 100′ badge next to it. I always knew I’d get to this stage but I never imagined that it would happen so soon.

Baffled, I wondered what had become of the mighty John Chow. I was a little disappointed to find that he was also ranked number 1. At this point I started getting a little suspicious, so I decided to check who was on that damn ‘Top 100′ list anyway. It was the exact same blogs that were there yesterday and the day before. I think I really started wising up at this point, and I thought that maybe I should check a blog that I knew had a lower rank than me, they would’ve been happy to see that they were also now number one.

After this ordeal I felt a little cheated, but I also felt a little relieved because I had finally discovered the secret to getting rid of writers block. Go check Technorati, because with Technorati every body’s number one.

I couldn’t resist.
