It's a small world, after all

Yeah, I realize it's totally geeky to get meta about blogging, but I'm dweeby, so this morning I took a look at the "organization tracking" chart on my sitemeter. The 17% share for the U.S. Government doesn't mean that Big Brother is watching. Instead, it means that I park on Complicated Shadows at work far more than I should. There are far more hits from Canada than the chart suggests (via ".net"), and the one regular reader from Germany that I'm aware of uses a ".com" or ".net." I knew that Complicated Shadows has regular readers in Norway and Italy, but I had no idea that there were so many hits from Sweden, Japan, and Brazil. It's flattering to have readers from so many different places. Thanks, everybody!
