It’s time for some self-reflection.
January 2008 marks several important milestones for MadSilence:
• Our 150th post (this post is our 152nd)
• Our 24 thousandth hit (as of this post, our counter shows 24,039 hits)
Other interesting MadSilence tidbits:
• Actively posting since March 2007
• Monthly views have increased from about 600 in March 2007 to over 4,000 in December 2007
• 71 Categories and 279 Tags
• 191 Comments
• Number of links on the blogroll: 67
• Number of blogs that link to MadSilence (Technorati blog reactions): Approximately 46
• Blog reading level: High School
Two comments left by our readers sum up what we feel makes MadSilence unique:
According to Argot, “You always find the most interesting news, art, and STUFF!”
And from BookGirl, “One of the things I like best about your blog is the wonderful way in which you put things in context. In this case, a personal visit becomes a larger exploration of an art form.”
Of course, there is our other claim to fame: MadSilence is the only blog we know of that is co-authored by a multi-generational, father-daughter team residing in the USA and Japan, respectively.
Thanks to all our readers and commenters.

Thanks. We hope you return to read and comnent. As for the “blog concept,” that’s still evolving. We enjoy sharing our thoughts about art and culture with others. And comments provide a good opportunity for dialogue.
