May 24, 2011: Transporter: The Series Pre-Production Update! Site Stats!

No turning back now!  The production machine is rolling along and picking up steam, speeding, faster and faster, toward the precipice that will launch us into glorious flight!  Provided the mechanical wings on this contraption hold firm.  Our European team is gearing up to start shooting in Paris, Berlin, Nice, Marseilles, and the south of France.  To that end, we had a conference call this morning to go over the storyboards for the early episodes.  The guys in France have come up with some terrific car action sequences that, like the ones in the Transporters film series, are fun, inventive, and holy-smokes-impressive!  I suppose this shouldn't come as a surprise since a number of the key people on our car and fight stunt teams are the same ones who worked on the movies.

When car stunt coordinator extraordinaire Michel Julienne gets into town, I'm just going to start catching a lift with him in the morning.

I figure that'll allow me to shave about fifteen minutes off my twenty-two minute travel time.

Every so often, I like to check out my site stats – Top Referrers, Top Posts, and, my favorite, Top Search Engine Terms that directed new readers to this blog.  I always find it very interesting.  For instance, here's a sampling of the Top Search Engine Terms over the past six months…

Carl learns he comes in at 66 searches, beating kobe beef by 53 but falling well short of amaretto cream at 79. Also, for what it's worth, just a shade under "coq au vin".

More people searching the internet came here looking for "Julia Benson" than "Joseph Mallozzi" and "Joe Mallozzi" combined.  Searches for "Batman" (2914) beat out searches for "Patrick Gilmore" (882), "Stargate Atlantis" (693) doubled "mint leaves" (313), while "Joe Flanigan" (51) was trounced by "Brad Wright" (101), "Robert Picardo" (101), and "viscous" (109).

Even more interesting are the daily single digit search engine terms that range from the obscure to the downright bizarre.  Today's stats yield a unique mix:

I would assume the first one was supposed to be "suckling pig" rather than "sucking pig", but the fact that three different search attempts went with "sucking" gives me pause.  It's nice to know there are people searching for love on the internet, doing their research to ensure their prospective future partners are indeed single: Brian J. Smith, Janina Gavankar, and my ex wife.  Also, I sincerely hope that whoever searched for "psych symptoms include speaking in accents" found the sound medical advice they were looking for here on this blog.  Finally, what the hell is a "raccoon lottery"?
