Strange things have come out of the writing of this blog. This week I have had John Canemaker contacting me for information on a Disney layout artist which I was able to find for him. He never would have known that I had that information setting on my backup disks if I had not made mention of it on this site.

This last week too I had a student from a very good East Coast animation school contact me to do an interview for a class report. Why he wanted to talk to me is anybody`s guess.

I have found that if you mention the KGB on the Internet the number of hits from GOV servers goes way up. Strangely enough, and I am really not trying to make a connection here, but the mention of Twentieth Century Fox on the site increases the visits from the Fox server.

I suspect Internet search robots are at the bottom of the above phenomena, but if the stats are slipping I know the subjects to address in these pages.

I have found sites in Germany and Australia linked to articles I have written. I have been contacted by people with artwork that they were trying to link to an animation artist. This site has been linked to by other animation news sites. All and all a very strange ride. So stay with us for the next 12,000 visits.  ¶ 6:33 AM
