Happy blogday to me!

As of today, I have been blogging for ten years. (Technically it was ten years ago yesterday, but my very first blog post on May 30, 2005 basically just said “I have a blog!”, so I’m not counting that.) My first real blog post was posted on May 31, 2005. It was… well, okay, this makes me a little sad now, what with everything that’s happened in organized atheism in the last ten years including Richard Dawkins revealing himself to be a giant douchebag, but my first real post was a brief review of Richard Dawkins’ book, “Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder.”

For a trip down memory lane, here are a few posts from my first year of blogging that I’m particularly proud of and that I think still stand up today:

Reading diary, 7/11/05: Existentialism and Human Emotions (note: if I were writing this today, I wouldn’t be as hard on modern philosophy as I am here, I’d be more precise in my criticism)
How to get married (although I really didn’t know how to do pics in my first few months!)
JT LeRoy and Hoaxes
Porn and Musicals: An Analogy
On the Rhythms of Writing and Fucking Off
Art diary, 4/18/06: LACMA, MOCA, and Why All Art Would Be Improved by Snarling Bears

Here’s to the next ten years!

    A bit belated, but happy blogiversary!

    I can’t remember when I first discovered your blog – somewhere between 8 and 10 years ago – but it was among the first blogs that I read on a regular basis.
