Yesterday adot's notblog turned 1 year old. I didn't even notice until I was reading Chris Nelson's birthday blog. I remembered that I started mine about the same time and sure enough it was April 12, 2002.
I can't say that it's come a long ways because there isn't much more of interest here now than there was then. I'm posting a wee-bit more regularly (I think) but covering just about the same beat - Mozilla, my health, my science and astronomy interests, other Mozilla bloggers, the occasional cat picture, etc.
A few people are still reading this thing and while it's mostly for my own pleasure, I'm happy to hear any suggestions for making it more interesting/entertaining. I've carefully avoided talk of politics and war and I don't think that's gonna change any time soon, but if there's some aspect of any of the topics that I've been covering for the last year that you'd like to see more about then fire off an email or post a comment here.
Posted by asa at April 13, 2003 11:09 PMHey Asa,
I have noticed your lack of coverage on war, etc. I had a War post up myself briefly, but eventually took it down. Basically I realized that I didn't want people not coming back to my blog because my opinions on certain issues ticked them off.
One thing I've been burning to ask: What the heck is a "notblog"? To me that means "not a blog". If you meant "noteblog", then that would make some kind of sense. I'm an editor, so this kind of thing drives me batty.
I thought it was cool when you were tweaking your CSS, although you did wind up with some horrific pastel green at one point. I think it would be cool if you tried tweaking again. The current setup is readable but extremely uninspiring. This time around people can comment, so you'd have more feedback.
Oh, and thanks for the reminder re: blog birthdays. My first post was April 17th, so I'll have to post a note myself in a couple days. I cannot BELIEVE it's only been a year. It feels to me like 10, but that's largely because the last year has been so tumultous for me.
Anyhow, keep blogging. You're very well-spoken and have a lot of good insights.

Posted by: Rob on April 14, 2003 06:48 AMI think you should talk more about porn. That always makes things interesting! ;)
Posted by: David Tenser on April 14, 2003 02:20 PMHow can there not be a posting about the new names? And why don't I see it on Slashdot yet?
Well, now that there's a name maybe things will take off.
