For the bloggers out there, Hitail is a pretty cool app to add to your HTML. It lets you view where your visitors originated from. If it was from a search, it lists the search terms. In the most disturbing news of the day, someone arrived at my site today by searching “Bill Gross moustache”.
After the predictable variants of Meb(ane) Faber and World Beta, the other most popular terms are:
Blue Ridge Capital / John Griffin (there is actually a student reunion tonight that I am missing in NYC – any readers attending?)
The Wolf of Wall Street (Grrrrrr…)
Endowment Investing variants
Maverick Capital / Lee Ainslie
A Life Decoded: My Genome: My Life
Also just arrived is Quantitative Investment Analysis

I once spent a couple weeks driving around the South Island of New Zealand with some buddies in college that were studying abroad – what an amazing country. Hedge fund legend Julian Robertson has built one of the world’s best golf courses there. Even more interesting is that he is holding a $1 million dollar tourney next January.
I’m thinking of joining an angel investing network such as the Keiretsu Forum or Tech Coast Angels. Any readers participate in such networks?
