Site Views [sittes.net] is a simple blog that is solely focused on publishing its own real-time website access statistics. Will there be an infosthetics peak?

This perfectly summarizes my current feelings towards the infoviz scene.
then again it's a bit more complex, it shows the access statistics to its umbrella site www.sittes.net where there is more than just this blog
@Kyle: I guess there are different flavors of infoviz?
i don't understand how such dequantified, uninformational and boring charts deserve to be listed on infosthetics ...
if this is something then it is art at best.
While the graphs may be visually boring, the concept of a self-relating loop between a simple, self-updating visualization and people visiting a site because of that visualization seemed interesting to me.
Lovely. Making believe these boring charts are landscapes is funny too, besides the recursive thing. The author of Sittes.net is Claude Closky, a quite famous european artist. BTW, I enjoy very much infosthetics.com.
Looks like there was an infosthetics spike http://blog.sittes.net/?day=188
