Blogging through the years

Some factoids as we reflect on our 3 years of blogging:

• First blog post: December 23, 2004

• 2004: 15
• 2005: 257
• 2006: 179
• 2007: 131 (but the year's not over yet!)

The rest of this data comes courtesy of Google Analytics, which started tracking this blog in November 2005. Kinda freaky how much it knows.

• Unique visitors: 1,601
• No, we don't know half that many people -- but I presume it's counting IP addresses or machines that you're visiting from
• Average time on site: 1 minute, 11 seconds
  
• Page views: 9,623
• Browser breakdown
• Firefox: 59%

• Connection speed
• Cable modem: 47%
• DSL: 28%
• Unknown: 18%
• T1: 6% (greetings, work surfers -- aren't you supposed to be working?)
• No idea how Google figures this out (IP address?)
  
• Peak traffic day: 1/21/2006 with 27 visitors
