Here we have your traditional Sunday evening open thread, with a Tech Note added, all sneaky-like.

Today I added live pageview counters to all the front page articles, in the article byline following the category and date. If you watch the “Views” number under the article’s title, you’ll see it increase every time the page is loaded by somebody or something’s web client.

(I say “something’s” because some of the page views come from web bots, not human beings looking at a computer screen.)

Was that sneaky enough? Are you ready for that open thread?
