Checkin' The Stats – April 2008

I can't believe it's May already. I thought March went by fast. Where the heck did April go? What a whirlwind month. Our water heater was going out, or so we thought, but a simple check of our warranty, and a call to the repair center, and I had the part in my hand to fix it myself. Total cost? $0. Things are looking up!

Let's take a look at the stats for April.

The top 10 referring sites for April were:

Musing Minds
Wild Heart
The Soda Stand
Insignificant Thoughts

The top 10 search terms that brought people here in April were:

hamachi service (highly recommended)
jack cafferty (way to piss off China, Jack!)
