One Year -- June 24, 2008

I launched this blog on 24-June-2007, after a false start on Geocities earlier that month. 197 entries later, I can say I've met many nice people and learned some interesting things.

I took the opportunity to review the topics I have covered so far. I see some personal interests that I have missed and will have to be sure to cover in the next year.
