My 1,000th Post
Woohoo. Hard to believe, but this is post number 1,000.
I think this blog is now about a year and a half old and it’s been an entertaining ride.
Highlights: Three front page diggs, links from Valleywag / Techmeme / various others, iPhone correspondent in the field, writing for the Blog Herald, contests, funny / unique responses to posts.
Lowlights: Disparaging comments, scads of spam, site going down, fatigue.
Truth be told, I have a fair amount of bad or terrible posts – especially during the early days or the period of a few months where I was trying to post three times a day with mixed results.
Anyhow, after a quick review here are five posts I’m most proud of for various reasons.
- The Best And Worst James Bond Films: Took me a while. I need to find another project like this.
- Blog Growth Stalling: Some Reasons Why I Nearly Quit Blogging: Obviously, I didn’t quit.
- Movie Notes: Seventies Sci-Fi: Do I watch too many movies?
- The Beatles: Ten Best Songs: Still a Beatles fan.
- Battlestar Galactica: Who’s The Cylon?: Turns out I was pretty much wrong.
Thanks to all the readers – at this point you’re the #1 reason why I’m forging ahead to post #2,000. A third contest is in the works after #2 is complete; shortly, to “give back”!
Let me be the first to congratulate you on a real accomplishment. It ain’t easy pumping this stuff out and you do it with style and reliable consistency. I especially like that your blog isn’t too niche but represents a cross-section of your interests that let the reader get to know that there is a real person behind the effort.
Onwards to 2,000!
“Gratz” Jase. I’ve enjoyed a lot of your posts including the Beatles series, the Salty Snacks article and the so-bad-they’re-good movie reviews.
I actually dug it when you posted 3x a day. I started getting my tech news from you when you were doing that (does that frighten you?). But I can see how that would be tiring.
Anyway, here’s to the next 1000 and %*!@$&!( all the comment spammers!
Congrats! 1,000 posts is a huge milestone; especially since you’ve consistently put out quality posts. I look forward to the next 1,000, and can’t wait to see what Webomatica has in store!
Awesome … I just hopped on as a reader recently but the fluidity of your writing and other factors made me think this site was much older
Congrads!
congrats,
are you guys (you and dave) going to hawaii for xmas?
congrats on the 1000 posts, that’s a sincere milestone for any blogger. it also shows determination and passion.
Thanks for all the fun comments. Dave – yeah doing tons of tech posts is pretty great from the reader point of view – but for a working stiff like me, fitting in after the day job was pretty challenging.
Sang I think we’re sticking around here.
Lastly I’m up in Portland after a wedding – might be coming home with a small impulse Mac related buy. No sales tax…
Congrats! Keep on, Keeping On!
Congratulations! Some feat, given that I was feeling proud at having made (only) my 100th post recently.
Congrats, 1,000 is a huge accomplishment! I’m closing in on 200 for my “new” incarnation at Online Media Cultist and feel I’ve learned a ton in that span, so I can only imagine the wisdom that a grand tacks on.
Grats on the 1000th post, that’s unbelievable. I’m lucky if I get two posts in a week (though I’m trying harder).
Spam hits everyone. I approximately 20-30 spam comments per post (and I’ve only been up for about a month).
Keep up the great work.
