Rolling over a big one
This blog received its five millionth unique visit this evening, as counted by the popular SiteMeter tracking service. The last time the seventh digit turned on the blog odometer was on January 11 of this year, which means that we racked up a million unique visits in 313 days, or 3,195 visits a day on average. The last million took 344 days, or 2,907 a day, and so our readership appears to have grown at a rate of about 9%.
The numbers don't matter nearly as much as the quality and quantity of interaction between us and our readers. To the many people who contribute in various ways to this enterprise, we are deeply grateful.

Slightly less than 3200/day! (3194.88817891 to be exactly approximate!)
Way to go!

This is how my day typically starts:
Check email.
Check Jack's Blog.
Scan news sites.
Get on with the day.
I like this little routine.

Much like my morning routine, just add a few more "check Jack's Blog" through out the day.

Bojack.org:
The interface of the left and right mounting joint assualts against local insanity.
With occasional dust ups to preserve the separation.
That and journlists come here to see what they could write about if they weren't hobbled by their own opinions and their editor's control.

Aw, shucks. We couldn't do it without you.
