For about 5 weeks now, we have been on a sacred quest - a quest to get ONE visitor to our blog from Greenland. If you've been following along, you'll know it has been a miserable failure, giving me 5 weeks of frustration.
But today it all changed.
I got this email from one of the labbies, Heather - an undergrad researcher - at about 2:06 PM
Within about 13 minutes after getting Heather's email, I received the following email from our new favorite Greenlander, Ole Lange, who hails from Ilulissat, Greenland:
And, while there is yet to be a Greenland flag on our FEEDJIT traffic map (I am beginning to doubt if FEEDJIT has a Greenland flag available), I have taken the liberty of adding one to a recent traffic map for the blog. I have to admit shedding a tear while I did so...
As promised, Ole will soon be sporting the "old school" Gilbertson Lab T-shirt and writing with our official pencils. As they say, Ole, "it's in the mail".
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED thanks to Heather...
now, I just need to figure out what this Facebook is all about since it could accomplish in ten minutes what I couldn't in 5 weeks...
now what country is next?

YES! I sent messages out to 3 Greenlanders, and 2 wrote back saying they'd visit. I can now say I feel complete. I think we should make Ole Lange, and Pipaluk Lynge - the 2 who took a look at the Tasteman- honorary labbies for life!
...13 minutes though, that is pretty impressive especially since it took me a minute to log in to facebook, track down some Greenlanders, and explain why they should visit the Tasteman after I left the last comment... facebook really is amazing...
Tuition: $2,200
Books: $435
Seeing my name in print on the front page of the Tasteman blog:
...priceless
here is the actual traffic map after the hit(s) from Greenland showed up...
Hala is the most professional labby for facebook, although almost everybody in the lab has one. She will gush on and on about how amazing it is~
I understand her Facebook page is legendary...
I am equally sure that all of you would want your major professor as a friend on your facebook pages... kind of like having a parent there... (I am being sarcastic, by the way).
