Summer Glau = Ninja

I’ve been getting a lot of hits recently from readers finding my blog by typing in the search engine term “Summer Glau.” I have made one post about Summer Glau (make that two now) — the actress of Firefly and Serenity, and now appearing in Fox’s Terminator: The Sara Connor Chronicles. Recently, Ms. Glau has replaced the long standing number one search engine term “ninja” as the front runner as to what subjects are bringing people to my site. Though “ninja” is till the overall champion. I’m not sure Summer Glau enthusiasts are exactly finding what they’re looking for when they visit my site, but I welcome the traffic none-the-less.

The same goes for visitors that come by looking for ninjas — I’m sure Ninja Bandito isn’t exactly what they had in mind, but I appreciate the exposure. But that got me thinking… Maybe I should do a web site dedicated to Summer Glau as a ninja.

Oh, and if this post brought you here looking for some juicy good Summer Glau content and you feel gyped, I apologize.

Free Ninja Bandito Preview

Of all of the search engine terms that bring traffic to my blog, none compare to the frequency in which “ninja” shows up. The people love their ninjas. It appears that it is my Ninja Bandito that is the “siren” attracting all of the visitors.

And while I appreciate all of the traffic that comes by in regards to the term “ninja” it doesn’t appear to be really generating any click-through traffic towards purchasing copies of the Ninja Bandito Preview. By no means am I giving up on my little masked sombrero wearing friend, but since WordPress.com (the host of this here blog) has graciously offered additional free space for file storage I thought I’d go ahead and offer the Ninja Bandito Preview online for free. The thumbnails below link to the individual pages.

But please remember, you can always purchase a tangible hard copy of the Ninja Bandito Preview at IndyPlanet.com. It’s cheap. Just throw it on top of your order when you get any number of the other titles that are offered there. Maybe the Ninja Bandito needs his own web comic. And if there are any publishers or animation producers looking for a fun and unique property, by all means, drop me a line. Domo arigato, amigo.

I’m starting something new this Tuesday — a little shameless self-promotion and and an attempt to drum up some support for my various projects (the ones on the front burners as well as those off to the side) in the works. I’m not sure if it’ll happen every Tuesday, but Tuesdays will be the days that you can expect to find T-Shirt Tuesday here at the ol’ blog. What it will be is a showcase for various t-shirts and the like that I’m offering at my CafePress store GeekPunk Gear. Like I said — shameless self-promotion.

Ladies and Gentlemen… The Ninja Bandito!

I couldn’t hold out any longer — here’s the big reveal… Ninja Bandito! This is a character concept that I’ve been kicking around for some time. Then I asked artist Dustin Evans if he’d be game on giving a little Ninja Bandito character design a try — and voila!

Dustin did a bang-up job — inspiring me to do much more with the character than originally planned. Exactly what are the new plans for Ninja Bandito? There will be a web site — ninjabandito.com. Ninja Bandito has a myspace page. And, I’m trying a few test products out at cafepress. This is all just the beginning leading to… Ninja Bandito: The Comic Book! Stay tuned.
