It would be trivial to write a script to scrape text.npr.org and send it to you.

Or you can just visit it, I suppose.

You could certainly use SQLite this way, as long as you don't need anything hefty. Add and commit your db file, then fork and modify as needed.
There was a push a couple years back to collect that data. Mozilla Test Pilot. They kept track of how long people kept browsers open, how many tabs they had and how they were used, opened, closed... All of this was anonymized and collected in all sorts of pretty graphs.

The site seems down, now, but that data was taken and helped shape the changes we're seeing now.

Possibly, but it popped the top open. Maybe it's possible to do that by just flexing some muscles.
