This is the one thousandth post on my weblog.
I started an 'official' weblog on January 21st, 2000. I had been posting info on the net for several years before that, but that was the moment I began using software to update my site. At the time, I was using software called Newspro that was all the rage.
I started the site because I was inspired by a site called Lum the Mad. Lum wrote about online gaming and was hilarious sarcastic in doing it. He closed down the site after a while, but he had inspired me to begin writing. Scott (Lum's real name) still runs a weblog at Broken Toys.
The first real content I posted on the net besides baby pictures is called The most expensive cup of coffee back in August of 1997. Even after almost seven years, it's still a funny story.
So there you have it, after almost four and a half years of pure weblogging and seven year of posting on the internet, I've hit a thousand entries.
While a few of my entries have been of the 'sorry I haven't posted' genre, for the most part, I've tried to make it interesting for people besides my mother, who likes everything I say or right (except fucking profanity, she hates the profanity).
I wonder what the next thousand will be like.
Here are a few entries you might enjoy:
When I liked Netscape instead of IE
A what I ate for dinner post
A lunch observation
That time I almost died in the hospital
Competitive Twinkie Eating
The death of Pom-Pom
Seven toothbrushes, four people
Photoblogging
Two things.
One, did I ever tell you that I read your entire weblog as part of my "should I take this job" exercise? Somehow it didn't scare me off.
Two, your winning twinkie form is forever enshrined all over my website. Here's an example.

The rest, as they say, is history.

I have family in the LA area, your site is a link to the SoCal culture that reminds me of them. Let the adventure continue !
