a Facelift for Statcounter?

Looks like the good folks at stat counter are working to put a new face on their site. The current site is very usable and doesn’t seem to have any real problems, but there are a lot of little things they could do (sortable tables, extra options, an API :hint, hint:) that would make it a lot cooler. Take a look at the features they are planning to implement, and maybe leave some feedback for them, too.

Old Joomla Logo

I keep seeing this favicon in my browser and it looks like a company logo, but it’s not. I actually think this is one of Joomla’s earlier logos. I wanted to post it here for reference since googling “Joomla Old Logo” doesn’t turn up anything except their current logo. I’m not much of a Joomla fan anyway.
