Well folks, this is my 121st post. When I started blogging last year, I figured it would be pretty easy to do, you know, throw a few words up about a given topic, get some readers, toss up some ads, and retire to a life of internet work. Boy was I wrong. Blogging has become one of the hardest, yet most fulfilling things I have done in a long time. I originally intended for this blog to be strictly about math and physics, but I have found that those topics take a long time to create, and my blogging topics have expanded. Despite the time involved, I still enjoy writing, and I hope that some of you, my wonderful readers, have enjoyed what I have written. I also hope that you will continue to enjoy it, and will keep coming back to read posts I make in the future.

In honor of this post being a rather fun square number, I present:

Some interesting facts about the number 121.

• 121 is the third smallest three digit palindrome.
• Like all powers of 11, the second to last digit indicates the power. In this case, 121 = 11^2. (14641 = 11^4, etc).
• 121 is the third row of Pascals triangle. Pascals triangle is also connected to powers of 11 by 11^(row – 1). The correct power is indicated by the second to last number in the row.
• It is the only square of the form currently known.
• Fermat conjectured that 4 and 121 are the only squares of the form .
• It is also one of the few square of the form

Some facts about the blog.

• At this moment, I currently have 121 posts.
• I have 75 comments, with them all being in either English, or Russian.
• Physics is my most talked about subject, followed by Economics.
• Over the year and a quarter I have had this blog, it has generated just over three dollars in revenue through ad views and clicks.
• My most viewed post is a guest post made by Dr. Gordon Watts. That one post receives almost thirty percent of my traffic, even today.
• I have been visited by the unwashed hordes from 4chan. In twenty minutes, they ate close to a gig of bandwidth, thirty to fifty times more then I usually use in a month.
• I have still have not figured out how to use RSS feeds, trackback, or content management for Wordpress yet.

For those of you whom have stopped by, I wish to thank you, and I hope that you will stop by again!
