Folks,
I was reading an article this morning that discussed the use
of Google Trends (trends.google.com) to perform statistical
procedures on Internet usage. I thought I would give it
a try. Here are the top ten cities by visitors to my web
page. Notice a trend here?
Garching, GERMANY (outside Munich and home to ESO)
Greenbest, MD (NASA Goddard)
Boulder, CO (LASP, and ITTVIS)
Berkeley, CA
Pasadena, CA (JPL)
Tucson, AZ
Cambridge, MA
Toulouse, FR
Beijing, CHINA
Lima, PERU
Berkeley, Tucson, and Cambridge all have big astronomy
centers, too.
But Lima, Peru!? I don't know what is going on there,
but my Spanish is getting pretty darn good. Anyone looking
for an IDL course down there? I'm sure we could work out
some kind of a deal. :-)
Cheers,
David
