377 days.

I know it's bad to start blogging about your own blog, but I'm going to break that rule right now.

It's been just over one year since I started this site. I've actually had the domain since about 2004, but it's never been a true blog until last year.

Anyway, I tried not to force myself to think of topics to write about, and I think for the most part I was successful. I wrote my first entry on August 14, 2008 and I was planning on re-designing my website for its anniversary, but I'm a really good procrastinator, so that didn't pan out. I have a possible design I would like to roll out by the end of this month, but I've been pretty busy at home the past few weeks so it might have to wait until mid September.

So over the span of a year I wrote a total of 60 entries (if I counted correctly). In my first post I made a joke that I would probably look back at some with regret, but honestly I don't. At least I can't remember writing anything I regret. I thought about giving it up a few times, mostly when I couldn't think of anything to write, but I'm glad I kept it going.

Overall the experience has been pretty interesting. I've never been much of a public person, so writing about myself felt a little strange at times, but I kept personal details to a minimum and just rolled with it. I don't know if my writing skill has improved at all, either. It's hard to tell over such a long period. I have a lot of ideas for how my new blog is going to work, so I'm actually pretty excited to get it launched. This means it's going to be online sooner than later. I might make it a tradition of re-designing it once a year, but we'll see.

So here's to another year of posts mostly about organizing my music collection and/or complaining about my Zune!

I changed my mind.

If the post I made yesterday wasn't obvious enough that it was an April Fools' Day joke, well, it was. I am not really quitting my job, I didn't really leave Billie, and I will never sell my electronics. Ever.

I did it mostly just to spite Keith, who hates internet jokes on April Fools' Day.

If you absolutely must know...

After a couple requests and a lot of procrastination, I've created an RSS feed for the Facebook-esque newsfeed on my homepage. I don't know why you'd want to be alerted via RSS whenever I love a song on Last.fm, but now you can. It also includes whenever I favorite a video on YouTube, whenever I write a new blog post, and whenever I update Twitter.

RSS Welcome to Stalker Towne, population: You.

Jan 17, 2010 Update: I've changed my blog around and this link no longer works.

Happy New Year.

I am not at my computer right now, but I trust the trained monkey I left at my desk to deliver this message to you:

Happy New Year, everyone.
