Hmmpost

In years past the logo was changed on our blog birthday to the following:

This year, just keeping the logo in this post. I’ll be out all day volunteering – call this my first big volunteering year, I guess - at the local 4th of July event. Thank you one and all for reading, both new and long time readers alike. Stats and some links to past posts over the six year period Most words to date for a single published post: 4,791 How I fought a following too close ticket in Oregon published December 9, 2008 2009 1,673,808 total published words from 4,956 posts – 5,000 is just around the corner! 86,345 unpublished words from 332 posts = 1,760,153 total words from 5,288 posts = 332 average words per post February 8, 2009: Maybe Wheaties should become the breakfast of pot smoking champions – Pot smoker or not, Michael Phelps will always be the man inside the pool of this decade. 2008 July 16, 2008: AmazonMP3 shows how to monetize Twitter – Of all the Twitter talk out there only a small few are monetizing this third party phenomenon. Will be interesting to see where things are at with this site in six more years. My guess? Something else will be more buzzworthy. 2007   July 5, 2007: Study finds that men are just as chatty as women – Plenty of other more deserving posts to be spotlighted here but this is a small example of the kind of subject matter that makes me go hmm. 2006 July 15, 2006: Auto date and timestamped entries in Notepad with handy .LOG trick – this still works! Once in awhile there is something real world useful at this site. 2005 July 1, 2005: $10,000 forehead caught on film – I wonder how much it cost to get this tat removed? 2004 July 21, 2004: Review: Flickr – photo sharing, photoblogging, groups and more – before Y! bought Flickr and it became an internet household name. 2003 July 30, 2003: Segways to be tested by Police in NY – remember how big the Segway was going to be? Despite having the chance to ride one, I still haven’t. You? Thank you again for reading and, health willing, here’s to many more years of Things That … Make You Go Hmm.
