#1 way to become happier:

I received a nice email inviting me to become happier. How could I say no? The short version of the story is that it is a good site and worth going to if you want to improve your level of happiness. (And who doesn’t want to do that?).

One of the questions asked is “What makes you happy?” Well, Independent Sources makes me happy and so I thought I’d list some of stories that have made me most happy. This leads to the…

Our first Melissa Theuriau post. If you really want to be happy read all of our Melissa Theuriau posts. She is smokin’.

Then there is the story of our first bona fide hit. Back when no one had heard of us (and for good reason), we became the #4 result on Google for “Cambodian Fighting Midgets“) resulting in much traffic and much celebration amongst our staff.

Of course, and sadly, life is more than just fighting midgets and hot topless teachers. Fortunately, we had some success with more important stories such as our battles with Michael Hiltzik and Conspiracy theory nuts.

But it hasn’t always been fun and games. In fact, Independent Sources’ first story featured possibly the worst title ever bestowed on a blog posting. Mudslide Victims Seek Bad Economic Policy. This posting went up when we were operating under our first name, Informed Sources, which we were forced to surrender when it became clear we were not particularly informed about anything.
