New design, new statistics

In an effort to test my statistical know-how, and to publicize the heightened viewership here at pyktech, I have constructed this detailed graph of unique visitors per month (during 2006)

My next post will outline other important statistical guides, such as what growth measurement models work the best with modeling website traffic—moving average, exponetial, seasonal etc… The predictor used on above plot is a, “Cingular, Raising The Bar,” model-type, showing obvious growth into the month of August, as noted by the arrow bursting through the top of the graph.

In other news, I put up a new design. WordPress rocks for ease-of-use, no lie.

Uncomfortable? Comfortable?

Are these bricks supposed to be comfortable? They are an interesting idea and look comfortable, but I mean, c’mon, cork? How sweet would it be if these were pillows instead. Mini pillows that you could stack like Legos. Pillow blocks would definitely be better than a Birkenstock-esque floor-wall-“sofa.” Granted, I understand the “design” concept… (except for the one in the bathtub, but maybe someone else can explain that) but regardless. The “sofa” brick is just not quite sofa-enough.

*cough* Perhaps a free sample brick would change my mind.

July 4th and the preceding days

Recently posted some camping pictures in the gallery involving the Rochester crowd. Check them out—

Camping 2006

Check it. Yes, those are Bigg3ie’s legs.
In addition I will be posting some sweet stuff in the coming week. New pictures from the previous semester and books I have finished/will be finishing are first up. You (yes you) might be in one of them. Ridiculous.
Other bloggable things to look forward to—

  • UW Madison study places
  • Premiere State Street and surrounding area restaurants
  • Pictures of food that I enjoy eating

Until then, go outside.
