RSSTake a Penny, Leave a Penny?
Typical
I see a more people viewing these posts every day than I physically know in the real world, and I can’t understand who (other than #1GF!, a couple of co-workers, and maybe a few buxom Swedish models) is actually reading this site. So, do me a favor. If you read this post, leave a comment. I don’t care if you actually have anything to say. Just put your name and just say Hi or whatever just to prove to me that you were here.
Custom (For Advanced Users)
If you’re a regular reader (the stats say that you’re out there) and you haven’t already, step up and answer the call of the CD Challenge. If you take the time to make the CD, I make the time to listen to it a bunch of times to figure out what about those particular songs draws you. A lot of people seem to worry that their music is not my music, or think that I skip through these things and toss them. I don’t. I think that it’s irrelevant as to whether your songs fall within my musical taste or not, and the skip button is off limits for the first 3 listens. When someone leans in to tell me a secret, I don’t judge or cut them off. I just listen.
Let me feel like I’m getting inside your head for once.
Install Complete!
Either of the options will probably take you less time to put together than it took me to write this, and you will make a guy feel like a motherfuckin’ rock star. And everyone needs to feel like a rock star every now and again, don’t they?
Note: Just like Take a Penny / Leave a Penny, this is all optional, and only you know if you take more than you leave or leave more than you take.
Update: Thanks to all of you who posted comments and huge thanks to those folks that have taken up the CD challenge! Now to you other folks, why are you listening to a monologue when you could be creating a dialogue?

I found your site through that link on Hack A Day about your CD dividers. I read back some entries, liked what I saw, so I came back.
& I’m more than willing to send you a CD, just hit me back with your address.

One of the few “online” thing-a-ma-jigs I read. But I think you already knew that. Keep up the good work, daaaaaawk.

‘Sup my nizzle?
Ooh, I soooh want to make a cd for The Challenge – but how in holy hell can you limit yourself to one cd’s worth of music to send to someone who will perhaps base their opinion of you on said cd??! Huh, huh? It’s too much pressure. Plus, I totally can’t find my Kenny G cd to rip – and well, that just ruins the whole thing.
I think this is more than a penny – can I get change?
