Press Whore Pt.2 - Harpers Mag Update

Back in October I mentioned I got interviewed by a researcher from Harpers Magazine regarding the bauercount.com statistics. The gentleman that spoke to me over the phone was really cool.  Mostly just verifying the information on the site is real and accurate. When we were talking he wasn’t 100% sure when or even if the information was going to be used. Today I went to Schuler Books and by golly they ended up using using the information in their December issue.

The piece they used the information in was “Harper’s Index”.  The index is pretty much just a series of fun statistics that somehow link together. Many publications do similar things….

For the lazy they printed “Number of people U.S. counterterrorism agent Jack Bauer personally killed last season on the TV show 24 :38″

Also later in the magazine proper credit was given.

Overall it was a pretty fun experience.  I’ve always wanted to come up with an idea for a website that people would enjoy more then just my typical blog and photo websites. Also the amount of assistance I’ve gotten from on the site is staggering and many thanks go to them as well (jjafuller, Gun Bunnie and others). Almost famous?  negative……
