Why am I here?
Holy crap, I say! Hooooly crap.
Just doin’ some recon on the logs of late.
you w(t)f readers can be proud. Looks like I’m up to well over 17 readers. According to the logs, about 700 of you and your unique IP addresses stopped by last month. Not bad, not bad at all. Be sure to tell your friends.
If you are also a dbmini reader, you can count yourself among the over 2k readers there. WOW [insert wow smiley guy here]
If you also happen to be one that listens to the podcast, turn around and say to the over 5k of you that visit that site!
Not even going to take a guess at how many people read what I type over there. I know it’s quite a few.
So, yes, today I realized that there is a good chance more than 10K people, over the course of a month, read the words that come out of my brain, through my arms and into my fingers, where I 60wpm-type them out into the little Wordpress box.
I’m not bragging or anything. I just find it amazing.
Keep in mind this all started back in September of ‘02 with a crappy little Blogger blog that was a mix of MINI stuff and ‘personal’ blog faire. Maybe 500 uniques there a month when I started. MAYBE.
Then I split things up. During it’s peak, dbmini was experiencing close to 4K uniques a month, with it’s highest at close to 5K.
Then I started this little site. I had over 1K uniques once, but I couldn’t read the logs through all the spam.
Then I started the podcast. it’s grown faster than I ever could have imagined, which is nice.
Then I started posting at Motoringfile. Nothing great (yet), but people still read and comment on the posts I put up.
Like I said, I’m not bragging. But I will take this time to say thank you. All of you that read this also read the others and most of you listen to the podcast. I’m pleased you find my work enjoyable enough to return on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.
Ok, warm fuzzies are over. Thanks for reading!

Amazing to you but sounds pretty scary to me. Might have yourself a small revolutionary army in the making.

It ain’t easy being popular on the ‘tubes’… Wield that power with responsibility.
