File under: Material Interest by the numbers

Over the course of 2,720 posts (and counting), our humble blog managed to cover a range of topics that helped define 2008, from Bruce Willis' man jewelry to Elliott Gould's unlikely superstardom. But there were a few subjects we came back to time and time again. Here, a fond, numerical look back:

- Number of posts mentioning Don Draper: 12 (including both "What would Don Draper drink?" and "What would Don Draper browse?")
- Number of posts referencing James Bond and/or Quantum of Solace: 18
- Number of posts mentioning Barack Obama: 17 (including three devoted to his tie game—here, here, and here)
- Number of posts referencing workwear: 15 (none of which mentioned Don, Bond, or Obama)
- Number of posts mentioning the iPod and its various accessories: 23
- Number of posts referencing the Zune: 5 (Sorry, Zune. The Joy Division model was a good idea and all, but Curtis and Co. are a little overexposed.)
- Number of posts mentioning Joy Division: 9
- Number of posts showing concern for the order of your file cabinet: 29 (including such memorable recommendations as "File under postapocalyptic environmentalist porn," "File under psychedelic golfwear," "File under TV shows you probably shouldn't discuss in public," and, of course, the market-sensitive File-unders: "...bad timing," "...bad timing," "...seriously bad timing" and "...good timing, unfortunately.")

The fairer sex drew our attention, too; in fact, we posted numerous items this year containing scantily clad babes, a full six of which also included the phrase "you're welcome." (Think of it as a sort of stimulus package.) So here's our pledge to you, dear reader: We will raise that total in 2009. Um, you're welcome.
