GWU Statistics Dept 75th Anniversary Celebration. Washington DC Sept. 25, 2010 © Rick Reinhard 2010

the main blog change between last month and this month is a new blog template, and of course now that its summer in the Northern hemisphere more people will be doing more sensible outdoor things than reading blogs, I expect the visitor statistics to drop-off across July and August

So, I posted some photos to Facebook yesterday and they seem to have been viewed thousands of times since then.

 

I think I'll post this one to FB and let's see if its views take off, too.

Behind the line

A magazine drop-out containing statistics on climate change. The concept was to communicate these overwhelming statistics so that the audience found it easier to grasp than the usual charts and graphs.

The result of having my photo of hideous beast air hockey linked from a semi popular bike blog.

Thanks to Inga who suggested the photo for the blog.

As of the week of July 20, 2010, GA changed this view, so that the menu options go across your screen, not down. All of the same options are there, however, in the same order, so you should still be able to find what you need!

The vast majority of cosmic impact events either land in the ocean or explode in the atmosphere. That can still be very dangerous. There are a lot of variables that can enter into an event and the statistics here on the graphs do not take into account some of the more unusual events that have been described in very old tales and word of mouth descriptions.

The Chinese have recorded things like " A rain of stones from the sky" that killed about 20 thousand people. Another Chinese very early record relates how "The sea rose up as a mountain" and flooded inland for 50 miles. It says that nothing would grow there afterwards because of the salt that was left in the soil. There is folklore from around the world about the deluge or a period of intense rain that went on for 40 days. Some describe this sudden event as starting in the night and others farther away say it came as a black cloud out of the west. It's those little things that give a eyewitness feel to some of these stories. There are sometimes meteor storms where the sky is filled with "falling stars". in 1833, 1899 and 1966 the Leonid Meteor shower was a spectacular event with rates of 100 thousand an hour in 1966 for a brief period. This just shows the variables I was talking about.

The odds of death from cosmic impact seem very remote but the problem is if it happens you are most likely going to die.

Apparently in the past there were intervals of increased comet activity. It seems that a large comet came into the inner solar system and broke apart. An increased level of impacts would lead to regional disasters and climate change that make today's issues seem trivial. On one of the graphs above it says a 250 MT airburst 10 miles over the ocean could cause a mile high tsunami.

The main thing in the above graphic I want to point out is in the lower right corner. This is what seems to be evidence of an airburst in the not too distant past over that area.

This place is in Minnesota and the area looks like a flood flowed in all directions away from this point of impact. It doesn't seem as though any real geologists have looked at this thing yet. I am real interested in when it happened. It seems very recent but I bet it's a lot older than it looks.

It is very close to International Falls MN.

 

Traffic for my weblog for 1st Quarter 2005. I believe the mid-month spike was when Yahoo! Japan mentioned me in an article about webloggers who had lost their job.

Returning Visitors: Total: 5,995 // Per-day average: 67

Finally, here’s a breakdown of use of Mobi by device type as the snowstorm continued. The most interesting line is the purple one. While iPhone and Smartphone stay roughly the same over time their was a doubling, percentage-wise, of use by computers. It’s interesting that while we target Mobi to mobile devices it is accessible, and was obviously used, by users at their desks. This may show that their is an untapped audience out there who may find the services Mobi provides useful.

 

Feature Phone has the bump just because the total page views for the 6th are low so any visit by a Feature Phone is magnified in the percentages.

Thank you to anyone who has looked at any of my pictures in the last couple of years!

Each month a new record. We like!

The science (and statistics) of traffic patterns, timing, flows, and accidents is a blend of physics (distance needed to stop a steel, glass, plastic, and rubber vehicle of certain mass), optics (visibility distance and width of the field of view), and psychology (normal reading ability for signage size, placement, wording). based on accident reports the default or general principles for determining where to put stop signs can be adjusted on a case by case basis, as needed. For instance added emphasis here places a verbal warning under the octagonal icon for STOP. Even though the cars in USA drive on the right side, where one stop sign & verbal message are located, this 2nd pair of signs is placed to the left, since repeated accidents must have come from taken a left turn without carefully looking for cross street (right of way) traffic.
