Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Not Big Numbers


Taking a moment to toot my own horn . . .

Buster's Blog is approximately five years old, debuting in February 2010.  So far, I've barfed up 1561 posts and counting.  That's 312 per year on average, not quite one a day.

They've received just over 218,000 page-views, or 43,600 per year, 3600 per month.

In case you're thinking those are big numbers, they're not.  Websites like reddit.com and YouTube do that about every ten seconds.  Many personal blogs get far more traffic than this one.

Still, 218,000 hits ain't bad for a little ol' flyspeck like Buster's Blog, and it makes me wonder -- who are all those people?  I know it's essentially nothing, but it feels like a little bit of something to me.

For whatever they're worth, the two most popular posts (most page-views all-time) are Half Nelson, Full Nelson, Father Nelson (very short) and Buster Gammons' History of Religion (very long).
