Since I have some sort of obsession with patterns and data, I’m going to time stamp the day my photos reached 10,000 views. Before the Nikon, I had around 1,800 views of about 1,200 photos, and now it’s 10,000+ views of about 1,950 photos. That’s a 727% increase (1.5 views/photo to 10.9 views/photo).
OK, I’m done.
Here’s a table showing the uptime for Google, and I just have to say, wow. The table was compiled from a year’s worth of statistics. The worst case was 99.991% uptime, which equated to a downtime of 48 minutes in one year. That’s incredible.
Just the thought of their server farm scares me almost as much as this insane (and the exact opposite of fun) carnival ride. Actually, that ride scares me a whole lot more than any server farm ever could, but you get my point.
Amie mentioned a statistic to me yesterday. It came from a nonprofit institution in New York that compiles an “injustice index” each year. Here is one of the injustice’s reported (for 2006):
The average CEO earns more before lunchtime than a full-time minimum-wage worker makes in 1 year. The ratio of the average U.S. CEO’s annual pay to a minimum-wage worker’s is 821:1—the highest ratio ever.
That just blew me away. I know CEO’s are important and all, but for that to be the average is just not right. I wonder how the money-makers in entertainment/sports compare to a minimum-wage worker? I’m sure it would make me sick, as well.
