Yeah, that's alright

Nevermind! It's not like I actually wanted to know or anything. So go ahead, Mr. 10,000. Just hit the next blog button and move on without even bothering to say hello.

You loser!

Countdown to 10K

My hit counter is creeping ever closer to 10,000. I've moved the counter from its normal place at the bottom of the page to the top of my main column to mark the occasion. I'm really curious to know who number 10,000 will be. If it's you, please let me know. Make a screen cap if you can. If I know who the magic visitor is, I'll be sure to give that person a nice flowery write-up. Or something. Whatever. I just want to know who it is.

Fun with search engines

Site Meter gives me reports on recent referrals. Sometimes those referrals come from search engines.

Within the past few days, people have stumbled on this blog in their search for ann coulter sex life, ann coulter speed freak (that's fantastic… I get hits for insults I don't make), and my personal favorite gay berlin.

So I guess I am now the destination for gay Berliners and the people who love them.

Site Meter also gives browser share and OS share reports. I'm always a little surprised to find that I have such a high percentage of MacOS/Safari visitors. Worldwide, MacOS has maybe a four percent market share. But on this blog, Mac users can sometimes top ten percent.

Do Mac people have a particular affinity for tossed salads? Maybe. Mac people do seem like a more artistic, experimental crowd. I'll bet it's merkley??? skewing the numbers. He seems like a Mac kinda guy.

Now that I think about it, merkley??? was probably the gay berlin hit too.
