They should add annotations to that graph, like Google Trends. The first annotation in May would of course be satoshiDice.

So 1847MB is the current total size? For some reason I thought it was over 2GB.

That reports the size of the data stored, not including headers and indexes.

Right now, blk0001.dat is at its max, 2.1 GB, blk0002.dat is 0.5 GB, and blkindex.dat is at 0.9 GB.   So a total of about 3.5 GB.
