Every once in a while, I wonder exactly who out there reads my blog. I get these anonymous comments like:

– “somewhere… there’s a SJND 1993 student council jacket crying out ‘wear me! wear me!’ “

– “what were you thinking?!!! super glue aint no elmers. for future reference (based upon personal experience)…having all sorts of colored paint on your hands and underneath your nails (and a little bit on your clothes) makes for good conversation starters. People see the paint and wonder…are you an artist? And then they want to know more about you and what you do. Now you can’t say i never tried to hook you up.”

I wonder if this is the same anonymous person? Are they two different people? Someone from high school, obviously, for the first one. I’m always amazed to hear from people who continue to read it. Beyond that, it’s weird how writing a blog changes how I interact with people. I tailor my conversations depending on whether or not I think people read my blog regularly. Or when I find out someone hasn’t been keeping up-to-date, I think, “Wow, I have a lot of stories to tell you, then!”

    It is free log isp tracker that can approximate the isp of the person that clicks on your blog.

    You have a choice of having it visible or invisible on your blog

    I use it on my blog 🙂

    It’s great when people read your blog at work because then you know who really reads your blog — especially at work — instead of reading at home where it just states ‘Comcast’ and SF
