last month marked the third anniversary of this site. In that time my life has changed considerably – luckily in entirely good ways. I closed my very own house purchase just last friday, next month I will be married in a small ceremony April 12, and then we’re moving into the house in late May.

The other date that I recently passed, in late February, was the 8th anniversary of my keeping a personal website.

but nevertheless, check out RE_INVIGORATE, a new stats service that features a great interface and a really nice real-time traffic monitor. As Tom Coates suggests it’s doubtful that it can scale, but for now it seems great. I just hope we don’t learn it’s some skunkworks project on behalf of a company that means ill will to all we keepers of personal websites and such.

Yay!
