Happy Birthday to Me…

My Birthday

It’s my birthday! Yay! I wish I could say I was taking the day off, but I have too much work to do. Oh, well.

There was another birthday recently that I totally missed. On May 1st, this blog turned 2. I started it on May 1st, 2004. Check out my first post. I had no idea what this site would become, or if it would last long. I was just curious about blogging.

On a related note, I had an alternate image for this post, but it seemed a little cheesy, or spooky, or somethin…

UPDATE: Oh my god, I was totally wrong. I didn’t start this blog on May 1st, I started it on May 28th. I guess I’m early for once.

  4. “How did you do that pop up image trick with the alt image?

    It’s very easy to do. I used some prebuilt scripts called Lightbox JS.

  5. Happy Birthday Paul. Thanks so much for the blog.

    Your slogan should be

    one digital life: giving people in windowless offices a window to the outside world.

    :-)

    Congrats on the second odl birthday as well.

  7. Very Happy Birthday to you and your blog Paul :) - I kinda like the alt image better, it fits the entry more I think, anyways, best wishes and I hope you get something good (MBP anyone?) ;).

    I wish I could remember how long I’ve been reading ODL. Honestly, I don’t even remember how I found it… I’m just glad I did!
