I started blogging on January 29th, 2003. We've been a little heads down trying to get Notches to launch and I completely forgot to write about this, but I've now been blogging for over five years.

I talked last year about my motivations for blogging, and they definitely continue to hold true even if I've been somewhat inconsistent in my writing. Jeremy Miller has a great post about the virtues of blogging (via Rob), and I think I've covered all of them (except the whole getting fired thing).

So far, I've written over 1,000 posts - some of them good, I think, and some of them trivial - which somehow amounts to a post every other day. Wow... really? Much of this has come in bursts and there have been dry spells, but that still amazes me. More importantly, there's been nearly as many comments.

So, once again, thanks for listening and making this a worthwhile and rewarding experience.
