Extraordinary Intelligence 200th Post

Almost exactly one year ago, I embarked upon a little project named Extraordinary Intelligence.  It was to be a web site dedicated to my favorite subject matter, The Unexplained and The Unknown.  I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best… not knowing whether or not the site would be successful, but vowing to dedicate myself to nurturing its growth.

Today, I am writing the 200th post on ExtraordinaryIntelligence.com, and I don’t feel a day over 199! I remember the thrill of my 100 post milestone, (See the self promoting fanfare here:  Extraordinary Intelligence 100th Post!) and to see where you’ve taken the site since then is exciting and humbling.

In the beginning, my readership primarily consisted of friends and fellow writers.  Over the course of the year, others gradually began to find their way here… and now we have literally thousands upon thousands of weekly readers.  In fact, we’ve long passed the 1 Million visits mark and we’re staring down the barrel at 2 million! I’m so thankful to everyone!

So….. tra laaaaaaaaa, I rock! And so do you! How should we celebrate? Hmmmm… for the 100th post we did a Retrospective.

I tried to remember some of the things that readers have really enjoyed seeing here on the site. One thing I’ve received a good amount of feedback about has been my Maaaaaad Photoshoppin’ Skillzzzzz. Here’s a brief selection of some of my faves. Click on the images to visit the post where they first appeared.

There is one thing that to date I had not yet done. And that is to make a video of my own. Being one never shy to take on a challenge, that is precisely what I did. BEHOLD!!! I give you…. Extraordinary Intelligence: The Movie! (Ok, that’s a bit dramatic, it isn’t that great… but not horrible for a beginner, right? Right!) Enjoy and feel free to copy the embed code and slap this video… well… wherever you want!

And thank you all for making and keeping Extraordinary Intelligence one of the things I look most forward to each day.  I will continue to bring you all of the paranormal pleasure and conspiratorial cranium candy that you’ve come to expect. Onward and Upward, weirdos and weirdettes!

      Congrats Nat. Although…at this time, I can’t see the video (damn computer).

      Look foward to seeing more of what you have to offer to those of us who revel in the weird.

    2. I just ran across your website because of my book, “Love From Both Sides – A True Story of Soul Survival and Sacred Sexuality.” An interviewer posted me chatting about having sex with my husband… after he died, that is, from the Beyond, the In Between, what ever you want to call it. Like in “Ghost” — only Whoopi Goldberg wasn’t around…;^)) Anyway, I tried to email you, but it bounced back. This is such a fun site! Good job — spread the “awareness,” that it’s all good!

      All I see is a white box.
