I'm as frisky as a squid on Tuesday
Do you need something to entertain yourself bright and early on Tuesday morning (or the "bright and early" equilavent of whenever you're going to be online)? Come right back here to AO!

Late Monday night, a few things ready to go up will be updated. I'll give you a taste of what the 2004 Andy musical tastes include in a big way. I'll do some more "This Book Will Change Andy's Life" and "Five by Five" stuff. I might even do more. I hope you're ready!

Tomorrow's update is also a big step in something I've tried hard for since the big January 1st relaunch of AO, but haven't had much success with... viewer interaction. Back in 1997, I christened Andy Online as "The People's Website." It was a take on a local hip-hop station calling itself "The People's Station," though people are more likely to tell you I was ripping off The Rock ("The People's Champion"). Either way works for me. I didn't call it that for nothing back then, and it's still not unofficially the People's Website for nothing now. I don't do this website for my own entertainment. It does help pass the time, but I do it because there seems to be a few people (an average of 34 different people a day, according to site stats for the last week) who want to read the zany things that I post. The blog format definitely helps. I didn't update AO much at all in the last few years because I didn't want to bother with HTML much (or, in the last year, because I was distracted by something far better than a computer). Now I can just type and voila, there it is. That's why I have all of these features. I want feedback on "Book" entries. I especially have "Five by Five" here to be an interactive feature. I give my answers, you give yours. Total answers for "Five by Five" entries since it's inception... two.

The first part of this is a plea to you to give me some feedback. There's 30-40 of you here a day. Post a comment and let me know what you think. Drop me an e-mail (andy1278 at yahoo.com) and let me know. IM me (AIM: andybear1278, MSN: andy1278@hotmail.com). Comments can be posted anonymously, if so desired. I'd love to hear what people think of the various things that I do here, and which ones I should do more of and which ones need to be dropped.

Part two of this is to ask you to pass along the good word about AO to a friend. Multiple friends, if you desire. You come here for a reason. Maybe you know me personally. Maybe you're one of my online buddies. Maybe you've just found me online somehow, whether it's through Benrik stuff, searching, or you were looking for andyonline.com, which is a porn site that popped up after one of AO's original popularity waves to capitalize on the hot name back when I was getting 200 hits a day(for the record, andyonline.com has no Andys involved, and you're better off for that). If you keep coming back, you're probably doing it for a reason. Why not share the site with a friend? They'll either do one of two things... a) think it's incredibly lame and, in the process, think I'm incredibly lame, which is a common thing in life for me, or b) think it's kinda funny and come back. This site is not a secret. Spread the word. Post it on your site. Post it in your journal. Write down the address and post it on a bulletin board somewhere, and that goes for both online bulletin boards and real ones. Get it tattooed on your forehead. Just e-mail it to someone or tell them to check it out during an IM session. Just let me know what you did, so I can give you the proper publicity back.

Part three is saying that tomorrow, I'll be introducing another way for mass interactivity here, both with me and with each other. Despite getting the couple of hundred unique hits a day back two years ago, this feature never worked before. Nobody tried. I'm giving it another shot. You've been warned.
