Someone (Named Leonardo?) Out There Loves Me

By grrlscientist on January 21, 2006.

Even though today is Saturday, my site meter tells me that Scientific Life is getting hundreds more hits than usual, even if this was a weekday (Scientific Life received more than 1,100 hits by noon, NYC time). So, worried that last night's party with PZ and pals was more entertaining than I recalled, I had to check Scientific Life to make sure that no one had posted a picture of me without my shirt on, or something equally er, horrifying exciting.

But instead, I found that besides the NYTimes mention of Living the Scientific Life (hey, that's ME!!), the whole lot of us at ScienceBlogs were linked by the very high-traffic BoingBoing, and of course, PZ is adding fuel to the fire with his weak attempt to refute the sad, cruel truth about the picture I took of him last night.

Yes, I owned this album when it first came out in 1978. A recent post by Prof Matt Nisbet raised some Saturday night reflections for me as to how one measures one's impact as a blogger if one is so inclined to do so. But does this apparent impact or "influence" actually mean anything? I've got…

I posted this comment over on Tara's blog, but it fits here as well:

BoingBoing beats everyone down - Instalanche, Pharyngulanche and Atrioslanche look puny compared to getting Boinged. And I should know: When I started Circadiana, I posted the first post in the evening and the sitemeter detected (my own) three visits. When I woke up in the morning there were more than 1000 visits on it already - Cory linked to it and all hell broke loose - that one post is still making the rounds on delicious, stumbleupon, LiveJournals etc, more than a year later, and I still, to this day, get hits from that BB link!
