Who's reading this blog?

So we've had Google Analytics watching this site for a little over of a month, and I recently took a peak to see a few things, such as:
  • Who's dropping by
    • Not that many people (<100 visitors a week)
  • Where you are coming from -- as one would expect, mostly Bay Area folks, but in the past two weeks, we've had visitors visitors whose ISPs are reporting they are located in:
    • Pittsburgh, PA
    • Choi Hung, China
    • Lake in the Hills, IL
    • Clawson, MI
    • Suffolk, VI
    • Lawrence, KS
    • Winkler, Manitoba (Canada!)
    • Aylmer, Ontario (Canada again!)
    • Bangalore, India
    • Caracas, the capital of Venezuela
    • And some city in Sweden that I can't even copy and paste correctly into Blogger's text editor: it's filled with cool letters I can't type with my US English keyboard
  • What browser and display resolution you're using
    • About half are using IE 6.0 on Windows XP at 1024x768 screen resolution
    • May I suggest a leaner, faster, more customizable, less risky browser?
    • Also, indulge in a bigger monitor :-)
  • Where you're coming from (in other words, what Website were you on when you clicked through into this blog)
    • About 1/3 come directly by following a bookmark or typing in the URL directly
    • A little less than 1/3 come from some other blog
    • The rest Google can't figure out
I have no idea how accurate the data is (I would imagine the browser type and screen resolution data is more accurate than the location data), but's it fun to watch nonetheless.
