The Daily Ping

Apple did not consult with us when they named Ping, Ping.

When will we be famous?

Last night I dreamt that Pinger Greg wrote an article for my alma mater’s paper about the Daily Ping. It was the front page story and featured a history of the Ping and highlighted various Ping “moments.” I was pleasantly surprised by the article because I didn’t know one was being written.

This got me to thinking: the Ping’s been around for a while now. A long while, really. And in that time, we’ve never gotten any press in a print publication. Paul and I have both have had sites mentioned in various papers, but the Ping has remained under the radar of most journalists. When will that change? Will 2004 be the year that the New York Times sends Jayson Blair to do a story on us?

I am pleased, though, that Dave Walls has discussed the Ping on the radio on a few occasions. At least one medium outside of the web has some love for us.

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
