Twenty years of blogging, from sandwich diaries to AWS takedowns, coming out (twice) to becoming American. The blog has outlasted Slashdot, nearly outlasted Twitter, and documented almost my entire adult life. I was right about who I am and what I do. Here's to whatever comes next.

My blog turns 7: 1,298 posts, 350,000 words, more than a quarter of my life documented. It's now my longest sustained personal endeavor. I've changed enormously in that time, but the blog outlasted every school, job, and home I've had.

My blog turns three today. Rather than pretend you care, here's a self-indulgent timeline of my greatest hits anyway, from my first post in 2001 through politics, poetry, crushes, and controversies. Frequency of interesting posts seems to be increasing. Whether that's perspective or improvement, you decide.
