I launched this blog on 24-June-2007, after a false start on Geocities
earlier that month. 1,353 entries later, I can say I've met many nice
people and learned some interesting things. A special thanks to those of you who have taken the time to comment.
I took the
opportunity to review the topics I have covered so far. I still see some
personal interests that I have missed and will have to be sure to cover
in the next year. I went back to older posts and retrofitted some of
the labels to reflect my more recent practices. I count 967 labels.
