I give you pause from my ordinary brilliance to get a couple of very bloggy issues out of the way:

Issue 1: I Want To Be Able To See Who's Kinja-ing Me
I recently discovered that I get a relatively large number of hits from Kinja's bot. Curiosity formed an alliance with egotism and they led me to visit the site so baffling in concept and vague in description that, after my first visit, I'd avoided it the way bushmen avoid electric cattle prods. From what I could gather this time around, it's a way to preview your favorite blogs' latest posts without actually having to visit the sites. As I typed that last sentence, I realized that, while convenient, this concept will be the end of what's indie, DIY, and cool about blogging, and that Nick Denton should be ashamed of himself. More on that later. So anywho, you log on and create this favorites list of blogs. I want to find out whose favorites list I'm on. Why can't I do that, Denton, you magnificent bastard?

Issue 2: HaloScan Is Sucking My Asshole Lately
What's the deal? Half of the time my comments aren't available. This problem also seems to make my site slow sometimes. This irritates me.
