So.. my 15 hours of fame lasted a little while longer than expected. After publishing my article on small budget photograhpy and then putting it on digg.com my site was getting a massive amount of traffic. Well I experienced a little fame. Then I wrote a log entry on what it's like to be dugg. I tried to digg that story and it just about made it, but not quite... so whatever.. but then I got an email.

Hi Jesse,

I am researching a story for Wired News on the growing popularity of Digg.com and how it is increasingly producing a "Digg effect" for linked-to websites, in the same way as the "Slashdot effect".

Then a bunch of questions.. la la la.. I gave a bunch of long-winded answers, but I felt it was necessary. Anyway! I got published!

Here's the article at wired.com

So yay. That was pretty neat.

Anyway(*!@&# So I've been in Champaign all week and I'm trying to catch up on everything I missed here, so I'll write more later.
