Ideas about this blog.
Last week I wasn’t sure if I’d had a ‘Blue Speedo Monday’ before but I’m sure that I’ve had a ‘White Speedo Monday’.
Whatever colour I choose for the day is the colour of the speedo that I wear that day and I would love to hear about it if any of you guys did as well.
At the end of the month and I spend more than a day going through the traffic stats and join stats for my sites.
I use Google Analytics on all the sites and it is amazing how much detail you can find (not personal details – traffic flow and what people are clicking on and what they aren’t). To be honest I’m constantly surprised with what is popular and what isn’t and it is great to be able to look into it.
The ‘Speedo Photo of the Day’ section on my site SwimmerBoyz.com was something I had always wanted to do. Now it has over 300 photos of the day on it.
Today I was looking at which of the 300 photos are the most popular and here is the top 5……
I just found out that I was on TV – it was the Gruen Planet (it is a media watch kind of program – I do watch it but I missed that episode). Would have been funny if a bunch of my str8 mates were in the house when it came on and it mentioned “Dave Evans, bisexual blogger” – I’m not sure I would have been able to contain myself and just start dancing saying “THAT’s ME, THAT’s ME, THAT’s ME!!!!”
I’m pretty sure my folks watch it but I don’t think they’ll put the two together. The comment on the TV show was “Who else wears speedos but gay guys!!!” and a general consensus that the blog was doing good things for the ‘Speedo’ brand.
I did recieve an email from the Evil Speedo Corporations lawyers. I can program in 4 different languages but this thing reads like double-dutch to me. I have no idea what it means other than it is bad. They want the AussieSpeedoGuy.org domain name. So for the last few months I’ve been running this site on AussieSpeedoGuy.org – in the next 24hrs Kip will change it over so only the new one works.
This way hopefully anyone who has this in their favourites will be able to update it before they steal it from me.
One thing I did pick up in the legal jargon was that the judge didn’t read my email to him. He said he received it but he chose not to read it. A quote from the judge “Little reliance can, in any event, be placed upon email communications.” The judge seemed to accept blog posts of mine from months and even years back as evidence but when I sent him a personal email (which is easy to trace) it was not admissable. Strange.
Anyway, as I mentioned before I’m up for the Speedo Corporations legal fees. Perhaps I’ll just have to quote the judge, and tell them that little reliance can be placed upon emails. They can deliver the bill in person. When they deliver the bill in person, I’ll be able to give them my snowboard, my laptop, the shirt off my back and the speedos I’ll be wearing.
All good fun if it wasn’t so serious.
Here are some guys wearing ‘Speedo Brand’ speedos.
