Also, interesting is rounding out spots close to the top ten was twitter and facebook. Could be something to this new media thing.
What I gather from it is that most of my readers are readers. Not referrals and such. Cool. We have regulars.

Stat Counter says last year I got 47,853 page-loads and 38,272 unique visitors with 31,121 first time visitors – woot!
Good luck with the Twitter and Facebook thing, I don’t even text. The Stanford kids downstairs in the end unit all work at Facebook. IMO Facebook is AOL 1996.

I am definitely a regular. I don’t comment much, but read everyday. The short average time on page makes me think of the one thing that I do not like about your site (and I don’t even know if it is your site that causes it), which is that your links don’t open in new tabs. I know, trivial, but yours is the only site I visit that doesn’t do it. Very good blog, keep it going!
