Tell Congress NO to SOPA and PIPA, the laws are gateways to censorship.  We want laws to stop internet piracy, not a government agency to dictate what we write and read.

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 8,700 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
