Fit the fourthTuesday, April 15 2008 @ 12:31 AM Tax day. April 15th. Candleblog's blog-o-versary. This morning I'm giving a talk on blogging and other new media writing to an electronic media writing class at Champlain College, which seems fitting as it's my blog-o-versary. I started Candleblog on April 15th 2004 in the wee hours -- almost exactly 4 years ago as I type these words. Can I get a w00t?

W00t! indeed. Four years of top-notch writing and linkage. I raise my digital beer stein to you, Mr. Simmon.
Shameless plug: I'm nearing my third year as a Childe of the Blogiverse. I've undergone a transformative rebirth as head of the The Contrarian Media Group, but the best data available holds that ye olde Solidstate came to be on June 30, 2005. Resmer likely knows better than I. Happy anniversary!! --- Fit the fourth

Huzzah!
Do you think it's odd that your friends have been anxiously reading your exploits/thoughts/recommendations every day for the last four years? I think it's safe to say that we know more about you than you know about us. Which gives us ALL the power! w00t!!! Fit the fourth

Flameape, great list! I should just point out that, re HB847, the important fact wasn't that it passed the House, it was that it cleared the Legislature and was signed into law by Governor Dean. Also, not to quibble, but for accuracy's sake, that happened on April 25, not Candleblog's birthdate of 4/15. However, as April 25 is my birthday, I'm always glad to see important stuff that happens on it. [:-)]

Flameape's comment actually does specify the 25th. I guess he just added it for the local relevance.
