Year of the Code Monkey
Because Jonah Bishop Said So
On June 18, 2005, Year of the Code Monkey opened for business. Of course, the only business being transacted was boring you, the gentle reader, to tears. I like to think that this site has improved since that time. You should now only reach a state of hopeless bleak despair. Maybe one day, that will disappear.
How things have changed in these three short years! Back when this site opened, Firefox 1.0.x was the current release and my new browser of choice. Games like Unreal Tournament 2004, Microsoft Train Simulator, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas were my current picks. I had also purchased my first MP3 player (which I no longer use) and a nice new notebook mouse (which still gets used every day, though it’s definitely time for a new one).
My web presence has shifted radically over the lifetime of this site. Prior to having a blog, my entire online existence comprised of nothing more than Born Geek and all of its many wonderful features. Blogging caused the site to fall into a state of sad disrepair, though its recent revival has helped a little. Interestingly enough, Born Geek is still by far the more popular website. I’m sure that says something, but I’m not sure what.
If you’ve been a reader since day one, I’m deeply sorry, but I thank you nonetheless; your perseverance is most commendable. To you, I raise my imaginary glass and offer this toast: here’s to another three years!
Update: I also forgot to mention that this is post #500!

Congratulations man. Now I am hungry for a cupcake.
