For almost as long as I've been on LiveJournal, I've doing summary "year in review" posts around my pop culture consumption, specifically movies, concerts and books. My 2003 movie summary was a scant month after I joined LiveJournal, and my 2003 concert summary was just a month later.

Since I didn't start tracking my books until 2007, my book ( Read more... )

The eye that has been my user icon for LiveJournal was custom created for me back in approximately 2000. At the time I was doing a radio show called The Body Electric, and in a fit of enthusiastic optimism, I decided I'd put up some posters for my radio show on campus. I was also running a personal website off a server in my dorm room themed around ( Read more... )

Starting in late January, every week but one in 2018 I wrote a post that summarized my Last Weekend. As the original post stated, this was an experiment, although nearly a year later I can't recall why I thought I should conduct the experiment. The series started as a "top 3" of the weekend, but by April it had turned into more of a summary of the ( Read more... )

This post officially marks three full years with a post on every single Sunday. Of course, I’m getting in under the wire by posting this from my phone while on vacation, but it still counts ( Read more... )

So I got back from California and found that my DSL was broken at the house. 8 days later my ISP had failed to show up for two different repair appointments, so I'm writing this at the radio station instead of trying to peck it out on a phone.

My plan for the next few weeks is as follows:
- One goals update.
- The next four posts of the baseball ( Read more... )

Somewhat remarkably, I have now handled my top two ideas for the Sunday posts for 2017. It seems like it's time to go on to #3, which is making sure all my LJ posts are tagged appropriately, fixing any old photo links that may be pointing to other sites, linking to the FB cross-posts where interesting comments are happening, and generally ( Read more... )

As promised back in January, I have finished my Eating out in 2015 series. It took eight posts instead of the estimated four, and summary boiled down to "I do eat in restaurants a little too often, and a budget wouldn't be a bad idea." That seems like an obvious conclusion, but much as writing down everything you eat can help trigger dietary ( Read more... )

For the past many years, I've marked January by starting a new series of posts that runs on Sundays until such time as it finishes or I give up on it.

- In 2016, it was my day-by-day diary of my trip to Europe. That series lasted all the way to October.
- In 2015, I documented all the of the baseball parks that I'd been to. That one went into ( Read more... )

I'm fairly certain 100 posts is more than I've done in most of the 10+ individual years I've been on LJ, but somehow I've now posted 100 straight days. Allow me to repost a video from seven years ago.

I didn't intend to start 2014 by posting for 100 straight days. It wasn't until I was 2/3 of the way through January with plenty of Supper Club ( Read more... )

Somehow, I've posted something to LiveJournal for 51 days in a row. To commemorate this odd milestone, here is why there is a 51 in my user name ( Read more... )
