One more month gone by, one more time to look at the server logs. For the second month in a row, the MBT Shoe Article was ranked higher than the Autogyros Article. I guess there's still some interest from the recent Skechers lawsuit. The Response to Ken Huber's Editorial moved up in the rankings to 4th place. One page made the list that hadn't made it in quite a while, Ray Comfort: Quote Miner Extraordinaire. And two pages made the list that hadn't ever made it before, Book Review - More Than a Carpenter and Science & Engineering Indicators 2008. One of my personal favorites, Ray Comfort - Still Ignorant on Evolution, missed the list by two places.

Overall traffic was down just a bit again, but still in the general range of what it's been recently.

Since I don't want to make another entry for this, I'll mention that I've finally started to work on the facelift to the site that I mentioned a while back (wow, it's been almost a year). I'm trying to do at least one or two pages per day, but I have around 300 pages to get through, so it may take a little while. I've made some decent progress to the Essays, if you want a preview of what the site will eventually look like.

Anyway, here's the top 10 list for last month.

Top 10 for June 2012

1. Blog - A Skeptical Look at MBT Shoes
2. Autogyro History & Theory
3. Blog - Origin of Arabic Numerals - Was It Really for Counting Angles?
4. Blog - Response to an Editorial by Ken Huber
5. Factoids Debunked & Verified, Part II
6. Blog - Ray Comfort: Quote Miner Extraordinaire
7. Blog - Book Review - More Than a Carpenter
8. Blog - Science & Engineering Indicators 2008
9. Blog - Running AutoCAD R14 in XP Pro 64
10. Blog - Casio EX-F1 - First Impression of the High Speed Video

Another month has come and gone, so it's once again time for me to go through the server logs and tally up the most popular pages on this site.

A blog entry from 2012 made the list for the first time - Response to an Editorial by Ken Huber. All the other entries had made the list before, but a couple, My Favorite Airplanes and Programming, hadn't made the list since last year. It had been a couple months since the Ray Comfort entry had been on there, too.

A Skeptical Look at MBT Shoes was at the top spot for the first time in almost a year. I'm pretty sure that has to do with the news of Skechers reaching a settlement over their fraudulent claims about their similar 'Shape-ups' shoes.

Overall traffic was down just a bit, but not much.

I've had this website for years. It started off as fairly non-controversial, but I slowly drifted into offering my opinions on controversial topics. I try to present my opinions in well reasoned, non-inflammatory essays, but I realize that some people will still find certain topics offensive just by the nature of the topics being discussed.

I've also discussed my job a few times on this site. As I shifted towards discussing more controversial topics, I've tapered off on discussions of my job. But, since this website is moderately popular, I know people are finding it, and making the connection between me and the company I work for.

So, let me just say, all thoughts and opinions on this website are mine alone, and are in no way indicative of those of the company I work for. The company itself has no official policy or position statements on most things I discuss, because they're just not related at all to the type of work we do. As far as co-workers, from the little we've discussed any of these topics (which is very rarely, since they're not relevant to our jobs), I can say that my co-workers and I have a broad range of views and opinions.

So, if you happen to come across this site and you happen to know where I work, don't let my views on these topics influence your opinion of the company I work for.

April is over, so it's time again for me to go through the server logs and determine which of my pages were most popular last month.

There was one page that hadn't made the list before, What's the Point of Intercessory Prayer?. My Ray Comfort entry just missed the list this month, coming in at 11th. My 2011 entries are starting to gain more traffic. One made the list this month, and a few more were right behind in the top 20.

Overall traffic was normal - down a bit from last month, but still within the range of what it's been for the past year.

Top 10 for April 2012

1. Autogyro History & Theory
2. Blog - Debt Ceiling - Frustration With Politics
3. Blog - A Skeptical Look at MBT Shoes
4. Blog - Origin of Arabic Numerals - Was It Really for Counting Angles?
5. Factoids Debunked & Verified
6. Blog - Letter to Pharmacy about MBT Shoes
7. Factoids Debunked & Verified, Part II
8. Blog - Running AutoCAD R14 in XP Pro 64
9. Blog - Casio EX-F1 - First Impression of the High Speed Video
10. Blog - What's the Point of Intercessory Prayer?

Well apparently, the link that I first got to sell my book on Lulu has changed, and I never realized it. So, anyone who clicked on the link in the sidebar of the blog homepage got an error message from Lulu saying that the product couldn't be found. I'm sure that explains why my book hasn't become a runaway best seller.

So, I fixed the link on the blog homepage, as well as in the Religion section of the site (where you can read the essays for free), and in all the blog entries that mentioned the book. I guess that now I can expect the profits to start rolling in.

Anyway, here are links to the various formats where you can buy the book.

• Paperback (my favorite)
• ebook - Lulu
• ebook - iBookstore
• PDF - Lulu (I'm only listing this last one for the sake of completeness. You can download a free PDF from this site here, so don't waste your money.)
