Blogger says I have published 6914 posts since 2006. There are another 594 drafts that never got published. Statcounter gives stats on the visitors to the blog. Their count is significantly lower than Google's (who bought Blogger a while ago.) But Statcounter makes it easy to see details about who is visiting. I've posted about this before, but it's important for people to realize all the finger prints they leave behind when they visit a website. (I think you should be able to click on the image and enlarge it to see it larger and focused better, but after recent 'improvements' at Blogger, I can't tell until I publish it. After posting: Yes, click on it and see it much bigger and clearer.)
In recent weeks I've notice a lot of people visiting a post entitled "The Yeti of Creative Coding - Who is Mr. Doob?" When I originally published that in August 2013, there wasn't much about Mr. Doob and I scrounged bits and pieces to put the post together. It was a fun post to write because Mr. Doob was (at that time at least) an elusive programmer who made cool graphics online. I even found an interview with him that revealed a bit more of his bio.
So, the other day I collected from my Statcounter data all the visitors they reported who had visited the seven year old Mr. Doob page in the past 24 hours. (They keep coming and the Dutch example above is from the latest Statcounter pages.

This was the order of the visits. My guess is that you see more international ones when it's early morning (like midnight to 6am) in the US.
And if you want to see what's drawing them, below is the link. A fun break from the other issues we're constantly dealing with.
