Dorks And Losers

I try not to get caught up in all of these ana­lyt­ics stuff with regard to web stats and such. A lot of the time, that kind of talk is just grat­i­fi­ca­tion for how much traf­fic some sites get. For a smaller site like D&L, though it is inter­est­ing to see and track growth.

Here are a cou­ple of screen­shots of D&L’s most recent traf­fic patterns.

Please remem­ber that March is not yet over. I have no clue as to the rea­son­ing behind that big Decem­ber 2007 dip.

Stere­ogum unveiled their new redesign last week to coin­cide with SXSW. It looks good. I like how they retained much of the old look, espe­cially the color scheme.

They switched some of the side­bar things since the last time I took the screen­shot.

Music fes­ti­vals are great and I’m glad San Fran­cisco is get­ting another one. The west coast is a good place for indie music and the new Out­side Lands Music And Arts Fes­ti­val invades Golden Gate Park from August 22–24 later this year.

Radio­head, Tom Petty & the Heart­break­ers, and Jack John­son head­line the three-day fes­ti­val, which is shorter than both the ear­lier Noise Pop Fes­ti­val and the recently con­cluded South By South­west Fes­ti­val. I plan to go, but it kind of sounds like a mini hippie-fest.
