BTW Your blog always fascinates me: "emo" seems to refer to the Echidna Media Organization (an echidna being no less than a spiny anteater -- the cute little beast on your icon. Your blog is currently running your travel journal from a trip you recently did in Turkey. We also love Turkey, but in two visits we haven't have the time to do Capodoccia -- cities carved out of the living rock, etc. You really made it interesting!
Aw thanks! It's always exciting to hear people are following along. I used to think if there weren't comments, no one was reading, but I've had a few people lately mention they've been reading despite there being very few comments.
The Echidna Media Organization part is sort of a backronym. Really, without getting too involved in the details it evolved from emosnail. But I did send out a newsletter of humorous tidbits back before the days of livejournal that was called "The Chosen Echidna" so it's not entirely random.
And of course the adorable animal pictured, while I think it does eat ants and termites, is actually a numbat, not an echidna. But both are Australian.
In other news, late last night I actually for some reason mistook someone else's entry for one of yours. They had posted about rubix cubes and my good personal friend and erotica model Audrey Rose is really into them so I excitedly told them about her... and pressed enter before realizing it wasn't you! Deleted the comment and felt kind of mortified because I don't know

Sorry it wasn't my site -- I looked at Audrey's delicious blog, and see why you were excited. (Even if you were talking rubix cubes [*snore*] and other un-sexy stuff...)
Good to know about the numbat! My SigOther and I visited Australia a year ago, cruising 'round the entire continent and seeing all the ports. Cool trip! Are you by chance an Ozzie?
I didn't know the word "backronym" -- but just read the Wiki entry for it and was fascinated. (I'm a Steven Colbert fan, so knew of his name becoming a backronym for a NASA device...)
And, yup, I 'm a comment-whore of sorts; LOVE it when people comment -- not least when new folks do it! I'm intrigued by LJ creating a "Top Journals" gizmo (as of today, I'm # 950 WORLDWIDE). Top-ness shows on one's home page; I don't have a clue how they calculate it -- certainly not popularity per se, because one of my posts at best garners 20-25 comments. (Others I've seen get hundreds or more.)
