Two Hundred and Fiftieth Posting

Yeah, yeah, yeah, another shameless plug for reaching what may be a pointless milestone masquerading as a story. Once again I have joined the self-congratulatory ranks of other publications and have to blather on about as slate.com points out. At least my site isn’t a failed Microsoft media venture sold off to the Washington Post. 
 
Not bad though. I really took a more aggressive stance on writing more, taking/posting more pictures and finding things to share with you. It took me almost six months to achieve 100. I managed to post 150 more entries in five months. Course I stretched it here and there with those famous birthdays but I did what I could to throw in something interesting about them. No one posted a complaint and in America these days, silence means compliance and being uppity means you’re a Freedom Hater. 
 
I’ve also been pleased with my server’s blog solution. I wouldn’t give it an ‘A’ compared to what I see of my friends’ sites using WordPress, Drupal or Moveable Type but it’s easier to get up and running. So it receives a ‘B+’ because it’s faster than composing pages via GoLive on my pokey G3-based iBook. (I do plan to replace my iBook with a sweet, new MacBook before the year is over.) 
 
Thanks for following along and assisting me purge my past prejudice with blogs. Now if you would all just comment more often and in the current 15 entries, it does take some effort to find your comments when an entry is shoved into the archive of the topic. Okay, I shouldn’t nitpick, I should be grateful for ANY comments from you guys. 
 
What’s in store for the drive to 500 entries? I’m going to try to write enough in all of the Topics (except FAQ) so that they each have at least 15 entries apiece. (You bet that’ll create another milestone entry!) Now if I were only a faster reader for Books and stumbled upon enough trivia for Science. I will still be pushing on my other friends to post original reviews here. I will be exploring more of Austin to expand the Austintatious section. I think I will also write more succinct opinions on the CDs I have purchased in the Music area. I do promise there will only be an entry on entries 500, when each topic has 15 each and 1000, then probably every 1000 after that.
