I’ve been posting this on Facebook for the past couple of years, so I may as well put it here, too. (Yeah, I know. I forgot the comma in the ‘Tracks Heard’ figure. Oops.) For comparison, here are the past years’ figures:

Analysis: The 5th Hundred Books
Well, I’ve owed y’all some analysis of the last hundred books read for some time now—just over a hundred days, by my count. I can only plead that I’ve been busy with work and stuff, the stuff being a silly NaNoWriMo project, but I have also been reading at a freakishly breakneck pace since I …
Book List: 500 Books
As I told you over a month ago, I recently reading book #500 in my reading records since I began tracking back in June of 2015. When I announced this milestone, I promised both an analysis for the last hundred books read and a listing of the books themselves. This post is in fulfillment of …
One Hundred and Sixteen Thousand Songs (116,000)
Over 93 days after my last thousand songs were heard, I have just listened to my 116,000th unique iTunes track, a likable enough country number from Rosanne Cash, “Green, Yellow, and Red”, from her 1987 album King’s Record Shop. I am reliably informed (well, yes, I read it on the Interwebs) that Ms. Cash was …

One Hundred and Fifteen Thousand Songs (115,000)
So 57 days after my last thousand songs were heard, I have just listened to my 115,000th unique iTunes track, music familiar to anyone who has sat through David Niven’s turn as the famous British secret agent James Bond.

One Thousand Words
Just a quick note to note … erm … to take cognizance of the fact that, with last Friday’s Vocabulary post, my Lexicon now contains over one thousand (1,000) separate words. There are actually 1,010 entries, although 8 of these are entirely different definitions of words already present. (You can see these ‘duplicate’ entries by …
Analysis: The 4th Hundred Books
or, At Least The Unexamined Life Requires Less Math As I mentioned a little while back, I have now read 400 of the books in my personal library since I started tracking my reading back in June 2015. Below is a sketchy analysis of the books in this last hundred books. Of course, as usual, …
Data Analysis: The Eleven Myriad Things (110,000 Songs)
As promised, herewith begins the data analysis of my first 110,000 songs heard through iTunes. Top Level Saving the caveats for later, we dive in with the statement that I have listened at least once to 110,000 tracks in iTunes. Crossing this milestone occurred just before 5PM on April 17, 2019. Remaining to be heard …

110K Songs, for Real this time, no, seriously, I really Mean it
Yesterday, at approximately 4:51 PM, I heard my one hundred and ten thousandth track in iTunes. The particular track was a peppy instrumental version of “Fly Me to the Moon” from a Customusic sampler album. Customusic was — and still is, apparently (just don’t click on the main logo; the Customusic Web site does not …

300 Books: The List (Part II)
And now comes the second half of the list of the most recently read hundred books, books numbers 251 to 300. You may peruse the first half of the list here. This latter half-century has slightly more variety than the first had, though the mystery genre still has the lion’s share. Book read #251 is …
