Last night, I noticed a reader in L.A. that did not come to my blog through Josh Griffin's. The site meter does not give names of readers, but it does give longitude and latitude coordinates. I thought I'd do some investigative work to see if I could find the street name, or at least the location...Maybe I know them.
So...I looked them up. The location? Smack in the middle of a cemetery.
Apparently those dead people can't get enough of my blog...they check it about five times a day.
I'm thinking about planning a road trip up to L.A. to take a photo with my reader...hopefully we can get him to stick his hand out of his grave and give a thumbs-up!
Here's proof: (Just call me Veronica Mars!)

...THAT IS SO WEIRD.
LOL!!! Alli, I am not dead, but I am almost 100% positive that the visitor there on your site monitor is ME!!!
The IP address fits mine, the computer OS, the monitor settings, everything on there... other than the location ... fits me. So, the longitude and latitude may be wrong - and maybe that is where the "server" is at - but I think the "dead person" you are looking for on those stats is really just located in Irvine.
that's creepy
oh wow. maybe they have soemthing to tell you
maybe they were visiting someone who died and they brought their laptop and had a sudden craving for you blog?
I think I saw this on a Twilight Zone! The phone kept ringing and the cord was in the ground at a cemetery! Yikes!!

it amuses me how fascinated you are by tracking your readers. and you're good at it.
makes me feel like you have a way of seeing me now, as i read your blog and write this comment.
maybe you're the creepy one.
maybe the cemetary as wireless internet.

you spend way to much time on your blog to look into locations of all your readers
i enjoy your blog, but now i feel like i'm being watched and that creeps me out

there is probably an internet node near there that most computers on a certain internet service provider route through. Not sure if you wanted an actual answer, or if you wanted it to remain scary...wwwwhahahahaha.
