I had a much longer post, but a browser crash ate it. Sunday marked the fifth anniversary of the launch of my first "official" blog. Aside from the first two test posts, I didn't really start posting in earnest until a year later.

As a historical note, I find it eerie the county changed forever after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks just a few hours after that first post. I regret not posting more in the aftermath and generally over the past five years.

Ultimately, I've enjoyed keeping a chronicle. I hope it's been enjoyable for those that drop by. Including work, I've created nine blogs over the past five years. This week, I'm going to launch a podcast and start blogging about TV at TV Guide's community site.

The site's 10-year anniversary is in October. I'll have more to say and show off then.
