So last month I got this thing called “SiteMeter” put on my blog. It’s fascinating. It tells you how many hits this page gets a day, what time zones the hits come from, what the domain addresses are that access the page, and other fun stats. For example, the most popular domains are AOL, IP addresses, Road Runner, “NFor”, Verizon and Optimum Online but there are some other unique ones that I noticed such as “harvard.edu”, “sanantonio.gov”, “sunoil.com” and “buckeye-express.com” One never knows who is lurking in the heart of the internet!

There were two great womens semifinals at Wimbledon yesterday. Maria Sharapova beat Lindsay Davenport in 3 sets. For Sharapova, it is her first grand slam final and it already establishes her as a better player than fellow Russian hottie, Anna Kournikova. Impressive as she is, she is likely to be overwhelmed in the final by Serena Williams who defeated Amelie Mauresmo in her semi. When healthy, Serena is the best player on the womens tour and she should destroy Sharapova. Doesn’t mean I won’t be rooting for an upset though! On the mens side, the semifinals were delayed by rain and will be completed tomorrow. However, its on track to be a Roger Federer / Andy Roddick final. They are the top two ranked players in the world and it should be an amazing match. I’m all set for Breakfast at Wimbledon!
