500
This is my five hundredth published post on Pie Palace. That doesn’t include the half written drafts, nor the posts I deleted before publishing. But it does include:
- My first post, which, unsurprisingly complains that reporters are all too human. And adept at missing the real story behind an event.
- The coverage of the 2006 Green Party Leadership Race. And my complaining when David Chernushenko came in second.
- My eulogy for Rosa Parks. My belief that people who don’t know how to write also don’t know how to read was confirmed by the first comment. (Why bother to write a response when you haven’t bothered to read the post?)
- Waaay too many Green Party posts.
- Posts about my pet projects: Blogawa and engagement announcement.
- The progress of my masters thesis.
- I’ve seen fit to comment on 116 good things, but only 81 bad things. In the worst case, that means I’m an optimist.
- Only 26% (134 of 500 posts) are marked as being self absorbed, meaning I have to start commenting on my breakfast more often.
- My first post was in January, 2005. I’ve posted roughly once every two days. I clearly need a life.
Except for the occasional slip, I’ve managed to avoid posting personal information, compromising pictures, nudity, LOLcats, useless links, and drunken rants. I’ll try to do something about that over the next 500 posts.
