We’ve got some pretty good website statistics software but I’ve been wanting to compare it with some others. I am tired of waiting to be invited to Google Analytics and thanks to a heads up from our web developer I’m giving Performancing Metrics, a new blog statistics service, a try. I just got tired of being invited to Google Analytics.

Bust Your Sinus With Some Hot Pepper Spray
If I hadn’t been having so much sinus trouble this winter I would have passed this by but somehow the idea of hot peppers and a sinus spray just grabbed my attention. I would be seriously afraid to try Sinusbuster. Sometimes you wonder what’s worse, the cure or the disease.
A March Meaty March
After just finishing a Quiznos salad that must have contained about a pound of roast beef and bacon I was very happy to see the Colman’s Mustard, Meatylicious March website, (thank you Chroma, via AdJab).

Plump, Juicy Purplo’s
Just the other day I was having a discussion about how sometimes food doesn’t always come out the color you’d like on a bilboard. Like seeing one that’s been up a while and a red, juicy steak starts to look kind of purplish. Well this product is purple on purpose. It’s Hellers Purplo’s Honey Cocktail Sausages. They came out with them at the end of last year but I just noticed them on AdJab.
