probably some kind of karmic payback for posting about my momentary #1 ranking on technorati, due to some kind of glitch on their end. i’ve been in a two-week downward spiral. after a couple weeks of holding steady at a technorati “authority” rating (# of unique blog sites linking to ysmarko in the past 6 mos, to the hour) of 439 – 441, i’ve rather quickly plunged down to 401. holding onto the 400s by my blog fingernails.

ah, well. so much for my fall-back career as a professional blogger.

UPDATE:
my blog fingernails gave way, and i am now back into the 300s. alas.
