June 12th, 2013: Yesterday night I got distracted by a cool empty building and biked straight into a construction barrier, in case you were wondering what it's like to be an internet cartoonist / all around cool guy One year ago today: in this comic, albert einstein was a dinosaur. if you compare this to reality, reality may come up wanting, and i sympathize. – Ryan

Hey! Check it out: On Monday we’ll be unveiling a new SITE DESIGN! It’ll be the same ASP you’ve always known but we’ll be updating the look of it to (hopefully) make everything as clean and easy to browse as possible.

And of course, with any new launch, it might be a little glitchy at first so as they say, “pardon our dust” in case there’s a “total meltdown” and “everything you’ve ever known and loved is destroyed.”

Thanks! You guys are “great.”
Wes and Tony

A new study attempts to determine the businesses that American consumers visit most often. Not surprisingly, the list is dominated by places that sell food; and that McDonald’s was by far the most-visited business in the U.S.

The study by Placed Insights uses data from more than 70,000 volunteers who have opted-in to sharing their locations with the company. And according to that data, nearly half (49%) of Americans over the age of 14 visited a McDonald’s location at some point in March.

In fact, six of the top 10 spots on the study were taken up by food-service chains — Subway (#3, with 37.8% of Americans stopping by), Burger King (#4; 24.3%), Starbucks (#5; 23.9%), Wendy’s (#6, 22.8%), and Taco Bell (#9; 18.2%).

On the retail front, Walmart was far and away the most-visited in the study, with 38.8% of Americans over the age of 14 visiting in March. The nearest non-food company was Walgreens at #7 with 22.7%, while Target barely cracked the top 10 with 14.2%.

Surprisingly, not only did Best Buy get beaten out in visits by both GameStop (#12) and RadioShack (#14), it didn’t even make the top 20 list, coming in at #35 of all U.S. businesses, and only the fourteenth most-visited physical retail chain in the country.
