Hottest Geek Links & IPSC Videos - October, 2007

Here are the links to the most popular articles and videos in Cogito Ergo Geek as of October, 2007.

ARTICLES:

Criteria: ONLY articles which were published more than six months ago are included (because most recent articles may be temporarily more popular), and inclusion is based on 10/06/2007 traffic as registered by my STATSCOUNTER ratings. Also note that regardless of the number of "hits" on a given day, the articles are not ranked, because of the transitory popularity of some articles on a day-by-day basis. (But the first 4 articles almost invariably rank somewhere in the first-four, although the relative rank of the 'others' may vary dramatically from day to day.)

I notice that only four of these videos are significantly over 90 seconds in duration. This suggests to me that long videos depicting several shooters engaging the same shooting problem (one stage) are not very well received.

Not a problem. I'll continue to offer long videos, for the enjoyment of people who were there and want to see how they look when they are shooting. And you will continue not to watch them.

That seems fair to me.
