Whew! It’s been a while…

Honestly, not much has been going on, other than a few more mental_floss posts to share. So let’s get to it!

Hollywood Lost & Found: 7 Stolen Movie Props was a nice little hit on the site and a really fun one to write. It received a ton of comments and wound up ranking #1 on mentalfloss.com’s Top 10 stories of the week. It didn’t get picked up by any major sites or anything, but I was still happy to see it bring in some hits for mental_floss.

The Amazing Stories of 6 Sudden Savants was another solid hit for me, ranking #5 on the Top 10 for the week.

You’ll probably also notice on that last link that I barely scratched the Top 10 with Road Trip! 6 Incredible Cross-Country Journeys. I was really disappointed with this one’s performance. It was a lot of fun to research and write and I thought it was just quirky enough for people to retweet or send in an email to their officemates. However, it ran late in the day before the big July 4th weekend. I hoped it would have legs to last through the holiday, but, alas, it died on the vine. It received the lowest number of comments I’ve received yet, I think, and most of them were “You should have mentioned this…” So, disappointing, but, what’re ya gonna do?

I just found out moments ago that I have two stories in the Top 12 of 2010 (so far). I just hope the second part of 2010 is as good to me as the first. We’ll find out…
