It has been a very eventful past few months. And Like Mike Keyes I am trying to get up the gumption to post more. Here’s a run-down on my recent whatevers.
- Got a new job, and have begun the transition to Chicago. And while the switch was not fomented by money it is nice to see that I am now being compensated in a fashion that is in line with my 4 years of experience.
- I am expecting child number 2 with my wife, which is awesome. Could I hope for a girl? Either one would be awesome.
- Saw the fizzling of a very promising side project, on account of items one and two, but that’s tuff.
- After a brief review of the data for this blog, I have established with relative certainty that the more you post the more traffic you will get. In web analytics circles we could call that the Marshall Sponder rule.
- I have recently decided to become an Excel expert, and began by downloading every sample Excel spreadsheet I could find by Juice Analytics and Clint Ivy. (You guys make me look smart)
- I watched an amazing video on the TED web site of Hans Rosling explaining some world health and wealth statistics. I dream that web analytics data can be that engaging.
- I still read many many blogs each week, including you if you blog about web analytics, and now since it is officially 2008 I give myself permission to start being engaged with the upcoming presidential election.
Well, that’s the news from this Panera in Elmhurst. May you hit your conversion targets in ‘08.

Hans Rosling, yeah! I’ve got a Google Alert going on that software, which was bought by Google last March, and Google seems to have deep-sixed it. No news about it at all since the big announcement of the purchase. Pity.
My best source for the excel learning curve has been http://www.vitalnews.com. I subscribe to his Premium list. Much of it is “new to me” but I find “new to me and something I need” about every third week.
