This was the best year ever for traffic here: 4.5M page views. This brings the all-time total to 19.5M. There's quite a market for free Internet blather.
And this year's over 1000 comments from you is (I think) also a record. Many thanks to everyone who keeps coming by and especially for commenters.
Top referrers:
- Knuckledraggin My Life Away (thanks, Wirecutter!)
- The Feral Irishman (thanks, blog brother!)
- Raconteur Report (thanks, Aesop!)
- Normal American (I hope you haven't hung up your blogging shoes)
- Busted Knuckles (thanks, CederQ!)
- The Silicon Graybeard (thanks, buddy!)
If anyone cares, here is a list of the top posts for traffic. It's interesting that most are pretty old:
- I Am TJIC (after 14 years this still gets a ton of traffic)
- I Confess, I'm Not Opposed To Gun Control (this was fun to write)
- This Blog Belches Carbon (from all the way back in 2010)
- A Layman's Guide to the Science of Global Warming (needs updating)
- Dad Joke CCCLVIIII (I have no idea why this got so much traffic)
- Dad Joke CCCLXII (Tuna is doing most of my Dad Joke blogging)
- Should You Be A Global Warming Skeptic? (from 2009 but superseded by the Layman's Guide post, above)
- Aaaaarrrrrrgh, Matey! Don't be shiverin' me timbers! (A blog meet from 2009)
- Google Play Store filled with malware (a post from 2025!)
- This. 1000x this. (another post from 2025! Go figure ...)
So a lot of old posts still drawing traffic. It's gratifying to read them and see how well they've held up.
So goodbye to 2025 blogging. On to 2026!
