One Year of Open Source Traffic

In one year, there were 743,557 unique visitors to my various open source projects. SuperScrollorama was the most popular with 487,475 pageviews. Unbelievable! And I noticed that I wasnt even tracking Responsivator or BigVideo.js, so it was undoubtedly a lot higher, probably over a million. Amazing.
