Well this is the third time in a row that I posted on a Saturday. Looks like there is no going back now!
Welcome to the weekly Saturday “Quick Hits and Weekend Reading” post.

Time for another update about the the Yakezie challenge. I started with an Alexa (global website rank) of 1,178,184 on August 18th with a goal to get in the top 200,000 by mid-February, 2013. As of this writing I’m at 465,967 with a goal of getting under 400,000 by the end of September.
