The New Hotness

The numbers as of yesterday:

That green block highlights the flash mob from hackaday.com descending on the bed bug posts; other than that, things are pretty quiet around here.

Half of the daily traffic arrives by search engine for topics of general interest. The hackaday firestorm skews the numbers (the Alpha Geek clock was hackaday’s favorite a year ago), but a few other topics peek through.

I knew Arduino hardware and programming was interesting, but I would not ever have predicted that the fourth most popular search term would land there! Must be a lot of bicyclists with chain troubles out there…

And I seem to be the go-to guy for pictures of staghorn beetles and turkey hens. Who knew?

So much for my tech interests…
