A Blogger for One Year

It’s hard to believe, but this blog turns one year old tomorrow. So I’m going to take the day off, just like I do most days. Meanwhile, here is the official highlight reel from the past year.

5.24.04
Shiny, Point & Tall
The industry-leading source for pictures of people taking pictures of the Chrysler Building debuts.

6.3.04
Nielsen TV Research Activity Book
Too ridiculous to make up.

6.4.04
An Open Letter to Maritime Hotel Cabbies
This is later quoted in the NYT’s “Sunday Styles” section, where it is attributed to Gawker. No one is fired.

8.27.04
Guest Blogging at MoorishGirl
I am never invited to guest blog there, or anywhere else, again. Understandably.

11.2.04
I Vote
But it does no good.

3.1.05
Kurt Andersen Writes in About “Hobbesian Choice”
I take pity on him and offer him a job editing a magalog. He says he already has one.

3.5.05
McDonald’s and Child
Tomorrow also happens to be Alexandra’s birthday, so wish her well.

4.1.05
Boring Boring: A Directory of Dull Things
Encyclopedia Hanasiana logs its first non-Kurt Andersen visitor and promptly crashes.

4.4.05
‘Toothing’ Accidentally Revealed to Be a Hoax
I find this out by cleverly asking the source of all the toothing stories if he made the whole thing up. He says he did. Wired News recants, wins Ellie award.

4.10.05
We Resort to Poop Jokes
You know why? Because they work, that’s why.
