On my Contact Me page I've got a Meebo widget that actually provides visitors to that page with an instant messenger connection with me. I use Meebo throughout the day so I know when somebody loads that page.
Today I saw somebody sitting on that page for a while, so I checked out the IP address and saw it was someone at Ryerson University. For fun, I turned the tables on this visitor and sent a "How's it going at Ry High" message. This little gag usually freaks people out because they wonder how the heck the site is communicating with them in real-time and then they wonder how the heck I know where they are.
I got back a pleasant response from a Joey Kehoe who was sitting at my contact page while he wrote this note.
Greetings,
My name is Joey Kehoe and I am the assistant producer of "Riot", a 50+ year tradition of annual sketch comedy, combining video and stage sketches. Riot is performed, produced, written and directed by Ryerson's Radio and Television Arts students, and is viewed as a professional production by all of those involved. It runs from March 13th to the 15th, and icludes the infamous midnight show on the 14th.
I visit your blog frequently and was wondering if you would be interested in writing anything on our production, as it reflects local Toronto art and culture. Thanks so much for your time,
Joey Kehoe
Assistant Producer
