C-Note

This blog turns a hundred today, since this is my 100^th post since moving my blog over to Blogger. I wanted to make this post special, so after a lot of deliberation, I decided to post some facts and statistics about my 99 posts so far. I'm not sure that makes this post special; that's just what I decided after a lot of deliberation. I apologize if that sentence structure suggested any connection between the two.

Number of Events pubbed: 9

Number of Quotes quoted: 9

Number of Questions asked: 81 – Even though I started the "of the Week" features about 8 months in to my 13 months of blogging (roughly), these past five months have not been very bloggy. So the numbers here are pretty uneven.

Worst month for blogging: Evidently November. I only posted one blog for the whole month in 2009. Ironically, it was the following blog (in December) that garnered the title "Blog of the Month."

Bloggiest month: August

Number of blogs with zero comments: 3 (Come out and play, Leftovers, and Fluish)

Number of blogs with comments from random people that I don't know: 3 (Brett Writin' Stuff, I'm [a] PC, and Movember Madness)

Blog with the most comments (all by the same two people): D-pad or joystick? (7)

Number of blogs that reference the St. Louis Cardinals: 20

Number of blogs that mention UNC: 17

My favorite word to use that has the letters "unc" in it: announcer/announced – When I did a search for UNC, Blogger brought up all instances of those three letters contiguously. Other than UNC and UNC-W, announcer/announced was the most common find.

Number of blogs that mention Arrested Development: 6

Number of times I've used the word "dichotomy": 3 (Two in a row is not a streak, BISsie blog, and Chicks dig the long ball)

Longest title: Event of the Day: the premiere of the Event of the Week

Shortest title: B.

Number of titles that include (or are) obscure cultural references: I counted 29, but then this really depends on what you consider "obscure" and what you consider "cultural." And you have to imagine those quotes are air quotes from James Franco's guest appearance on 30 Rock where he used air quotes to set off things like "too controversial for America."

Number of times my initials (BIS) appeared in a blog title: 4 (BISness time, Just call me BISdom, To be fair: "The Daily BISdom" isn't "daily", and BISsie blog)

Amount of time I spent researching and writing this extremely narcissistic blog: about 45 minutes or so

Question of the Week:

What do you think of the first hundred blogs?

My take: I've gone a lot of places in my first 100 posts, some of them not worth revisiting. I'm even proud of some of my blogs but, importantly, I'm comfortable with where it's at now.
