My Author Name on Google

I thought it might be interesting to review how many pages are connected to my author name on Google during November 2011, since I had three online publications that month. Would the possible links to my name rise accordingly?

Back in 2008, right after my first online publication in seven years, I had about four pages of links to me (in other words thirty to forty links). By 2009, it was about seven pages. In 2010, it was around fourteen pages. And it's tended to over around that number since. Note how added publications actually seemed to drop the number of pages of links sometimes:

Shoes Women Wore on Dates

A friend of mine asked me to make a chart of this. Unfortunately, I don't remember more than six dates back (that is, in one and a half years), so there isn't a large contingent from which to gather data. On the other hand, given the paucity of numbers, I at least can remember these. Here are the types of footware that women wore on the dates I went on (one date involved multiple shoes):

My own footware would be much more consistent:

Timing of Dates

I don't go out on a lot of dates, given the fact that I prefer to date within my faith (long-distance phone calls make up for that somewhat). The following schedule shows just how rare dates are. I had a nice string this past summer, but since then I've hit a dry spell again, for which I don't know the likely end (as evidenced by the "no's" and cancellations, although the last three cancellations were with a woman who, by then, was an established "friend only," so those probably shouldn't count as dates):

Local Driving Trips

I was out with some friends just before Thanksgiving, and they brought up an interesting subject--namely, how often I drive outside of trips to church or the grocery store. I used to drive to work twice a week, but now that we're in a new office, I don't drive to work at all. This means that the car typically gets taken out only three times in two weeks: church on Sabbath and then, every other week, a trip to the grocery store. Most other things I can accomplish by walking, given enough time: most of my friends live close by and downtown is just a block away.

I wanted to see how often I drive outside of the two main destinations. As it turns out, not much--just one to two times a month. And here's what I drive to do:

The outer ring represents out-of-town stuff, the inner ring in-town stuff, with the in-town drives outnumbering the out-of-town drives by exactly one. Here's a breakdown month by month:
