Blogiversary
Six years ago, I started this blog. I almost forgot it was the anniversary. I usually number crunch the anniversaries but just ain’t feeling it this year.
One year ago, I joined NRA. You’d think they’d send me a notice to renew. You’d have been wrong. I still outsmarted them and re-upped for a few years.
Update: ok, some numbers:
16,663 posts
60,723 comments
2,424,771 visits
4,326,722 page views
662,290 spam comments
Hacked twice
$1,084 spent on software and hosting
$7,669 income from the blog.
A whopping $1,278 per year. but I only started selling ads like three years ago so it’s more like $2,556!

Happy Blogversary indeed!
The Web would be a colder place without the ‘Unc.

Congratulations! Well done.
Do the google ads pay well? I remember last year you had problems with google.

Jesus.
Almost makes me wanna “go big time”… but my blog, for now, is far too specialized.

Congrats. You add a big voice to the web from a rational perspective with some wicked humor tossed in. Damn glad to know you!

Congrats, and here is to six more.
Of course, back previously when I was a member of the NRA, I could not go a month without renewal requests/spam mail… And after I let the membership lapse, they started getting rather abusive with the letters. Consider yourself lucky :).

I’ve enjoyed reading here, so I raised a glass of Highland Park in your honor.

‘$7,669 income from the blog.’ In the interest of full disclosure, you should also include the wheelbarrows-of-cash income…

My congratulations as well, to someone even more personable IRL than he is online. I’m glad the inner-tubes allowed us to meet, and I feel the better for it.
Here’s to the next six years!

One of the people who pushed me to start blogging.
The influence is wide and varied.
