That was the year that was

The year 2008 has a few hours to run as I write this, but I don't expect a lot of visitors today, so it's a reasonable enough time to wrap things up and call it a year.

First, some stats. This table is the "Top Content" report for 2008, give or take the few extra views that will come in today:

Note that those figures are slightly less than the figures I show at the bottom of each page; Google Analytics can't count a view if Javascript is disabled and does not count its own accesses. I count all page loads, regardless.

For the year, Analytics reports 2,853,966 Pageviews and 2,528,146 Unique Views. That's a lot of page peeping!

Those "Top Content" pages may have been popular, but I have my own favorites. I also have favorites from 2008:

Finally, here's the breakdown by topic of the 330 posts made this year (in case your favorite topics have been carelessly neglected - now you have proof!):

So that's it - it's over, see you in 2009.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
