Numbers

They shouldn’t be important … measures of “how much”.  It’s the moment-to-moment experiencing of people, of life, that should rule the day.

But my ego intrudes.

Four days ago I wrote about the number of views I got on Jetpack in January.  So strange – it kept bouncing back and forth between 1303 and 1304.  Today that number is 1304, one more than November’s 1303 (!)

I thought that writing about this might cause the obsession to float away but apparently I’m still hooked.

On a typical day, Jetpack tells me that I had 20 or 30 views.  I woke up this morning to find that yesterday’s total was 997!

My Jetpack day starts at 6:00 am Belgium time (midnight in eastern North America).  Right now it’s 10:45 am, so nearly five hours after today’s counting started.  How many views today?  506!

What is happening here?  Jetpack also tells me the country of origin for my views.  About 95% of yesterday and today’s views came from one country.  Any guess?

Canada?  No.  Belgium?  No.

The United States of America

What does it mean?

No idea

(And now 526)

  1. Good morning! Good afternoon Bruce… Numbers are fascinating! I watch my Instagram numbers daily! I did not always watch the, but I did not always realize I could do that either. Might the rise in numbers have anything to do with Mark Carney our new Primer Minister or the Olympics perhaps? Did someone share one if your posts? It is interesting for sure!
