So I finally beat out the College (and HS), baseball and hockey players, so sports are the way to get your name in print. I’m getting a dozen spam comments a day, and am very grateful to Akismet for blocking all but three so far. The biggest impact was putting my name in the page title, as well as blogging stories on Digg.com.

[Update: Thanks to Loudpoet for pointing out EgoSurf, adding a whole new level to this endeavor. With a score of only 3300 points, I know I am pretty low on the ego scale!]
