Congratulations reader number 20,000! Tonight you, whoever you are, have pushed this little blog past the 20,000 hit mark. Not much in the grand scheme of things, and probably less than a nanoseconds worth of Google traffic, but a giant leap (made in very small hops) for this little blog. Thank you all who have [...]

This blog has just passed 15k on the visitor count. Not a big number in the whole tin of beans, but a milestone for yours truly. Whoever it was, I thank you.

I just noticed I had made 199 posts to this blog, so thought I would make it 200!
