| 2008 | 2009 | % change | |
| Blog postings: | 423 | 357 | -16% |

| Average number of blog visits per day | 93 ((not sure why this value is not equal to the number of visits to my blog divided by 365 days. Probably some some of rounding error)). | 126 ((ibid)), ((at the time of writing this blog posting)) | +35% |
| Busiest day on my blog: | Sept 26, 2008 (460 views) ((thanks to the Hockey Hotties posting)) | July 25, 2009 (1,181 views) ((thanks to the Blogathon!)) | +156% |
Analysis of above stats:
- I talked less, but more people listened!
Other nerdery highlights of ’09 include:
- Started self-hosting my blog.
- Completed my first (and probably only) 24 hour Blogathon.
Books read this year ((undoubtedly there were more that I’m forgetting. This list is based on ones that (a) I can actually remember without prompting, (b) appeared on my blog and so I saw them when I went through my blog to write my year in review summary, and (c) I still have out of the library, so I saw them when I checked what books I have out of the library.)), in no particular order:
