One Year Blogiversary!

Wow. It's been a year since I first started up this blog. Seems like a looong time ago. But I'm happy to say it's my very first Blogiversary!

Now, I don't have any hit quotas to meet, because this blog is more for me meeting other people, sharing cool things with people I know, and working out my own ideas, rather than be heard on a national scale. I simply don't update with enough substantial content for that. Nor do I have any desire for t at the moment. But it is pretty cool to visit Google Analytics after a year and see where I am:

• 10,692 visits
• My biggest keyword searches were "ramen and rand" (people are looking for me by name!), "japanese iq test", "rand quote opinion cannot validate me", and "tea party protest slogans" (I get a whole lotta hits during tea parties)
• My biggest traffic sources are Google searches, direct links (from feed readers I'm guessing), and Diana Hsieh at NoodleFood (there's always telltale spikes when she links to me)
• I've gotten hits from every continent...well, maybe not Antarctica
• My top five hit states, in order, are: California, Kentucky, Missouri, New York, and Texas. Colorado is an honorable mention at 6th place

Cool! Happy Blogiversary to me!
