Somehow, the less I write, the more readers I get. Or seem to get. At least, according to Feedburner.
To be honest with you, I lost some blogging motivation when I could not break the 800 reader barrier for such a long time. Also, not one reader left me a comment after my customary self-made New Year’s card. The one lonely comment is from someone to whom I bitterly complained about this terrible injustice and thus does not count.
Just in case you cared, the seeds that I harvested from the pine cone given to me by a kind Rockefeller Center security guard, spent some time in a fridge and were planted. Well, in fact, I misplaced the packet with most of them somewhere on my desk, but the few that were planted resulted in one baby Rockefeller Center tree.
I am a long time reader, but I have to agree with the previous commenter. I used to check your site regularly, but the lack of new content has kept me away. I also had problems adding your blog to my google page so I could keep an eye out for your latest posts…I don’t know why, but I was not getting the blog entry titles to show up. :(
Anyhow, I love your writing and photos and I think you are a very interesting individual. Post more often and we will be here for you and recommend you to others!

Michael,
I’m a longtime reader, and I’d like to say that you are a great writer… and not just the words… also the ideas, the photos and the variety of topics that you cover.
I live and work in Japan, software developer for a large corporation. A few months ago, I went to the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo, and, I have to say, it may be in part from influence of your writings and travels.
Once in a while, I forward to my friends a link to an article in your archives. Compared to other blogs/websites, for some reason, I like your archives. Should I say many of your articles and reflections and writing are timeless?
…sushi, Ukraine, your grandfather, old magazines and comics, weird things in Japan… and of course, the Empire State Building!
So, thanks for letting your readers know your concern.
Best regards,
Mauricio
I started reading your blog on July 18, 2005 after it appeared in JoelOnSoftware.
( http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2005/07/18.html )
To be brutally honest, I can get away with checking in on the site once a month since there is not a lot of new content regularly added.
I like what I read, but there just isn’t enough to keep it on the “check regularly” list.
I’m one of your sixty-seven NetNewsWire people. I like being one of only sixty-seven of something.
I love your photographs, I love the stories and photos you’ve posted of your grandparents and other relatives, and I especially love the views of the Empire State Building, which has a special place in my heart. I grew up not far from the skyline, and when it changed something in me changed too.
I’m not much of a blog commenter, and nor am I much of a blogger, but I know the quiet frustration of feeling like you’re putting something into the world and no one appreciates it enough to say so.
So I wanted to say so.
That’s a lovely little tree you’ve got there.
Long time reader, first time poster:
You shouldn’t care about your active-person count unless you are doing this professionally. Even if you are, focus on your content! As long as you are voicing something that you think has meaning, you are good.
I enjoy reading, even if you don’t know me as anything more then passive reader #631 :P
Is the title a pun on your use of the golden ratio in that photo?
hi mr. deadprogrammer,
keep posting, and i´ll keep reading.
and Happy New Year! (yes, a little late, but hey! better late than never!)
regards,
Gabriel

And thanks for mentioning me anonymously…
