Happy 7 years of this blogging
Readers, I’ve been blogging in earnest for seven years, as of today. Strange, I know, that it happens to fall on September 11th. So what was I up to seven years ago? Reading through the dead posts on my “nickblog” account on Blogger, it seems that I was:
- excited about Dusty integrating a blog for me into the now defunct AResultofBoredom.org
- about to be ripped off for 850 college-student dollars for a never-delivered Sony VAIO
- questioning one of many truly stupid decisions perpetuated by my high school/college girlfriend
- preparing to embark on a job interview at the Moxie cafe in West Halls
I can actually remembering hammering out that first post on Blogger, if you can believe it. Just me and the 2400c/180 in my first dorm room. I had been writing for an indeterminate amount of time using Blogger and HTML-based web pages. (Probably back to at least 2000.) But I can’t find any of these materials, so we are going to have to call 9/11/02 the beginning.
So, happy blog-day to me. Thanks for reading.
Yes i remember that day so well!
Your birthday, even! What are the chances?

Can you actually see anything from that blog? I haven’t found anything (which is fine, because I really do want it to be retired.)
