Since that time, this blog has:
- Received 145k page views since August of 2009. It obviously had a non-trivial amount before that as well, but it was at that time I began using google analytics.
- Received ~28% of its traffic from the US, ~27% from Canada, ~11% from the UK, ~6% from Germany, with Australia, the Netherlands, France, New Zealand, and Estonia each clocking in near 2%. Since Black Friday the traffic breakdown has changed drastically, with US visits dropping significantly.
- Had 380 posts including this one.
- Never strayed from a very basic and somewhat boring blogger theme, which is kind of odd given that I'm a Software Engineer and my last job was maintaining a fairly cutting edge web application.
- Had multiple offers for advertising, none of which seemed appealing to me. This included one offer to become a "team pro" for a smaller skin on a network which doesn't allow Canadian players. They obviously did their homework.
- Chronicled my journey turning five hundred dollars into more than half a million, through a lot of hard work.
To be honest, I'm not entirely certain why I feel like I should continue blogging. I do mildly enjoy writing, so I suppose it is mostly a self indulgence on my part. I certainly get more traffic than I would have dreamed of in February 2008.

Up the UK!!!!
followed your blog from the start, shame if you stopped.
I think its the simple, no nonsense, just huge results format that makes it appealing to read.
hope you keep blogging.
I've been reading you for over 2 years now I think, and it's been a great ride.
You've always been one of the players I looked up to when I was playing in the same games as you. Now that I'm not it's even easier to root for you, hahaha.
Keep up the great work, Jason!
It gives me something to read at work...
I've been following for quite some time now. I had to go back and read from the beginning though which kept me busy for a while. Would definitely suck if you stopped. Keep crushing!
