Top 10 Viewed Posts in 2008

Personal

I just read the Top Viewed Posts of 2008 from blogto.com and thought it was fun to log that information so I can compare in the future. You may notice that my top 10 is slightly different as it refers to the “Viewed Posts in 2008” not “of 2008”. I say that because some of the most viewed posts in 2008 were actually posted in 2006, but anyways. Interestingly enough, one of the most viewed post here is a comment on an article that was also published on blogto.com regarding the big fire that happened on Queen Street not too far from our condo. I pretty much knew the result as I’ve been following the traffic of the site pretty closely, but some of the results actually did surprise me (I included the percentage of the pageviews for the whole year as well). I was actually surprise to see some of my more recent posts in the top 10.

  1. My Second Interview With Accenture (30%)
  2. My First Interview For Accenture (12%)
  3. Phone Interview With Nuance (3%)
  4. Tour de Bloc 2008: Ottawa, Ontario (3%)
  5. Interviewing at Microsoft: My Adventure to Redomond (2.5%)
  6. Preparing for an Interview Presentation (1.5%)
  7. Tour de Bloc 2008: Barrie, Ontario (1.5%)
  8. Robert Ballard, Kemosynthesis and Extreme Enviromnents (1.0%)
  9. A Six Alarm Fire Near Queen and Bathurst (0.6%)

Review: Why Do Men Have Nipples?

Literature

Authors: Mark Leyner and Billy Goldberg
Pages: 224
Book Cover - Why Do Men Have Nipples

i just finished reading this book and i’m already looking into buying their next book “Why Do Men Fall Asleep After Sex?”. it was a very interesting book, full of answers and simple facts on many questions you have asked yourself at least once but never bothered finding out. the subtitle is spot on: “Hundreds of Questions You’d Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Martini”.

Leyner is a writer, he can be spotted in the New Yorker and GQ, and Golberg is a doctor in New-York. you’ll love the mix of humor and scientific explanations on questions such as: “why do old ladies grow beards?”, “does coffee stunt your growth?”, and “can lip balm be addictive?”. when the authors write “we expect it to be toilet reading”, they are probably right, but i still think that it makes for a very entertaining read.
