since it seems i hardly get to spend any time at my desk anymore, i thought i’d bring along the 2004 logs from the dance site to play with on the road… as a mostly pointless, but distracting exercise. so, with a couple tools and a pile of data, here’s some silly things i thought i’d share with you about this site. it’s sad when you’re looking for “something else” to do on the laptop just for a change of pace. blech.
first, some popular search queries… what’s bringing people to this little corner of the web? let’s go to the tape… the top 50 queries of 2004 are:
inul daratista (this post about inul datatista is one of the oldest posts here, so it’s obviously gathered the most momentum).
melodia pants (presumably coming for this post from marta)

(as an aside, if you’re one of those, or someone else people have come looking for, you may want to make sure your personal profile has useful information in it…)
