Has it been one year already? To think a year ago I kicked this thing off, not knowing if I'd have anything interesting to talk about beyond two weeks (if that). Looks like I made it past the two weeks, huh?
Anyway, thanks to everyone who's stopped by over the past year. The growth in traffic has been very encouraging both here and at Secret Identity (my Cafepress shop). As I enter my second year of blogging, I hope to continue some of the more popular features as well as expand into some fun new areas (maybe some video shenanigans...who knows?).
Again, thanks for all the support. You've all helped make an incredibly fun hobby all the more rewarding.
Congratulations Mark!
I didn't even realize your blog was so young, indeed since it is so accomplished.
I'll be reading through to August 2008 at least!

Congratulations, Mark! Like Siskoid, I wouldn't have guessed you'd only been doing this for a year-- your work is so witty, stylish and fun that it seems like you are an old pro. Thanks for running such a great blog.

Thanks, guys...for the kind words and your continued support. Regular commentators like you guys make it a fun two-way conversation for me.

Mark, I'm a little late, but congratulations on your first anniversary! (as many mentioned before, I was also surprised at realizing the site is so young) I hope it's the first of many many more to come, and I also hope you post more worst.cover.ever.'s soon, I'm always fascinated at the stuff you find and your hilarious comments.
CHEERS!
