    It’s updated daily with web log- statistics about visits to my eponymous site. The use of the term “log” is a pun, because the scale is log-arithmic, and it is about a “log”.

    Barcharts and sparklines are selected from a two-dimensional index grid, by time and by rank of number of hits, to what page or image – and from what IP address. What comes out is a classic Wiebel distribution with a long tail. Hover over any barchart and get a tooltip with all the juicy data. I find it all very interesting – and enjoyable.

    Thanks for the excellent writing, great article, and it really helped. I just decided to make all links hover differently and changing one line of CSS, the entire site behaves better, including the barcharts and sparklines in the weblog page.

    Keep up the good work, let’s have more – a whole-enchilada CSS-driven minimalist data-graphing tool. Or did you already and I missed it?
