Where You Are

We’ve crossed 100 readers on the Frappr map, so I thought a post to celebrate would be worthwhile. In fact, we’re at 106! Well, 105, because I think there’s one duplicate in there…
Notable facts revealed by the map:
- Most of the readers are in the Eastern U.S. and Europe. This isn’t surprising given the language the blog is in, I suppose.
- Some of you are clustered a bit. Likely candidates for “blog reader luncheons” are Chelmsford, UK, since Alice, Richard, and Darryl could all get there; somewhere between Manchester, Leeds, and Sheffield for the other UK folks except Jherad (he’s just out of luck, unless he wants to drive to London); the Los Angeles area; Austin TX; the DC area; the Seattle area; and small pockets in Michigan and Chicago.
- Those of you in Australia are all really far apart from one another.
- We have one guy in Russia, and he’s really lonely. Also one guy in Brazil. I’d sugget they get together, but’s a long hike followed by a long swim, then another long hike.
- Bruno in Brazil is in fact really far away from everyone else.
- Other places I never expected to have readers: Bulgaria; Turkey; Louisville, KY; and Broken Arrow, OK.
All in all, very cool. Of course, based on other web stats, there are folks in Austria, Spain, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Iceland, and so on who haven’t yet put themselves on the map. Around 11,900 of them, in fact.

Yeah Raph! You should definately come out to DC/VA some time! Maybe do a quick talk at an IGDA meeting out here? š
Why so surprised about Kentucky?
Just that there’s one lonely person there. I was being slightly goofy there in listing KY and OK. Not hotbeds of game development, at any rate! š
I spiritually belong to the grand old DC conclave. I merely lapsed into a rather prolonged programmer’s fugue, and woke up on the other side of the planet, in a state of profound dysgeographica.
Singapore reader? That’s me! But am I the only one?!
I went to Jr. High in Broken Arrow, OK. š
So Broken Arrow, OK is much like most of Michigan: A hotbed of people leaving to things elsewhere?
Believe me, I am running as far away from Tuscaloosa as fast as Possible.. Possibly to Austin, Maybe San Diego…
Hehe. Tuscaloosa->Austin->San Diego is the path we took. Is the best time to go to the grocery store during the game as long as you get back before it’s over? And does the Arby’s there just off campus still house the glass pyramid shrine to Bear Bryant?
3 years there was about 3 too long. *sigh* Oh well. we got a great dog out of it anyway.
“Those of you in Australia are all really far apart from one another.”
That’s the way of Australian cities.
