Bee Log Birthday!

A year ago today I had just started playing Burning Crusade and also came up with plan to pay for a Day of Defeat and vent server. The plan was this blog or rather this blog was an experiment to see if the plan would work on a larger scale. The plan was to create a network of blogs amongst my friends and trade ad clicks to make each other money. The amount of money collected by each blog would be low, but the collective would have enough when pooled for server payments every month. The experiment quickly fell apart when this test blog got over ad clicked by those testing it. The ad company quickly realized what was going on and shut it down (the ads, not the blog).

This blog was birthed in sin. A strange thing happened after the ad revenue dried up though, I kept writing. Writing was never my strong suit. Most of college was spent half assing it for assignments the night before. Any attempt at actual trying to write felt forced and a bit Jane Austenish. After college was over my writing slipped to forum post and emails. Until my failed attempt at an internet scam turned me into a blogger. I enjoy writing like I could never imagine. I think blogging is a bit like writing in a journal, but a journal that is pasted on the side of your house three times a week. It is voyeuristic in nature, but I'm not naive to the small size of my audience. It is hard to describe, but undeniably fun.

After writing for two months I quit WoW and the blog went dark. Missing both writing and WoW I started up both again in May and shortly there after started up a second blog. The second blog was more of a personal journal as opposed to the video game (mostly WoW) musings of this one. I wrote a combined three times a week between the two for 6 months. Last month I finally decided to shut down the other blog to focus all my attention here.

My goal for the second year of this blog and 2008 is three post a week (posting 5 times this week was hard). I have already started to expand the scope of the post here and that trend will only continue. Expect more on cooking, cycling and vacation post. If I get back into WoW it may go back to a single topic for while, but the plan is just to write about my interest at the time. Hopefully my family and friends (my primary audience) can make there way here and be less confused about where I am writing.
