Here Now

Last May, I took down the Clownsweater pages after a lot of people (1.7 million, give or take a few) decided to visit the site one day. This surge exceeded both my webhosting budget and my webhost's traffic limits, so the images are now all living here:

      I think the URL got posted on Fark.com and snowballed from there.

      I looked at the weblogs and was amazed to find hits coming from places like Malta, Tuvalu and Andorra. Japan was a popular place from which to view the Clownsweater, but the Belgians, Germans and Canadians turned out to be the biggest fans.

        it makes sense. some of those countries get really cold and i'm sure they can appreciate a nice warm sweater.

        it sounds like it's time for you to take the clownsweater on a world tour. the nations of the earth have spoken.

          I will be in Nicaragua in June, but somehow I doubt I will be able to find anyone willing to get into the sweater down there. It is really, really hot there this time of year.

          Maybe a trip the UN or several Bay Area consulates would be a manageable alternative for now.
