Cali Lewis, Dave Curlee and I had the good fortune to spend a day with the US Navy Blue Angels at the Alliance Air Show last weekend (thanks to our friend Rachel Medley).

The Guinness Book of World Records named the Honey Badger the most fearless animal on earth. After you watch this crazy little bugger in action you’ll definitely know why!

Yes, there are actually people who get at least 1,000,000 page views per day on their Websites. And yes, some of them use Woopra for monitoring and analyzing all of this traffic. Considering that we don’t often (if ever) get to glance at this level of traffic on our own sites, I thought I’d share [...]
