The Blog of Burgher Jon

I’m not publicly traded, nor do I make any sort of profit from my musings here and on Twitter.  However, I still think it’s worthwhile to do a bit of a quarterly status since we (both you the readers and me the writer) have invested quite a bit of time in this little effort.

I’m going to display popular posts, unpopular posts, twitter and usage statistics.  What I’d like from you is to post comments to this page of what you’d like to see in the blog.  This can be topics to cover, guest bloggers to invite, changes to the format, etc…  Anything at all.  I’ll open it up.

The 5 Most Popular Posts (based on Statistics).  This is a little skewed because of the enormous popularity of a single post, but I promised quarterly updates, so here they are:

• The Truly Scary Part About Facebook Open Graph (4/27/2010) – 27,076 Pageviews
• My TV is Better and Cheaper Than Your TV (4/22/2010) – 1,004 Pageviews
