Hey, man, it's been almost a year. Happy near anniversary!

At $250 a bulb count me in :)

So, perhaps April 26th should be a holiday? I mean, shouldn't we mark the anniversary of the first post (notwithstanding most of us were not around for it)?

There is still plenty of time to get ready for a 3-year celebration this year. Someone should alert the press.

:P

Rory's taking a break... THE BEST OF RORY -- #1.

Four years. That's how long I've been doing this now. Each time my blog's odometer rolls over a year,...

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that you were so funny in your podcast, I'm vowing to read at least one page/day of your blog. Starting with this entry. It may not be a big goal, but I take pride in creating a plan to waste time and following through. Wish me luck.

Thanks for liking the podcast, yo.

I've had a lot of people write in who decided to read my site from start to finish, and it always shocks me.

If I had known *beforehand* what they were going to try, I'd have warned them that there were a lot of dull, very serious posts in the first year. The funnier stuff is still worth a read, but the serious stuff is... blah.

If you try to read everything, you might find that you're putting a lot of work into something from which you don't derive as much pleasure as you ought to.

Trust me about skipping the boring posts - it'll make your neopoleon experience *much* nicer :)

Anyway, hope you like it.

We also just started releasing new episodes of The Smartest Man in the World. We stopped for a while because the producer canned the editor, and my show got bumped until a new editor was brought on board. I'm also going to start recording some of my newer material, so there'll be plenty more new stuff.

Yep.

So...

Tah :)
