I’ve had a website of some form or another online since I was 11 years old and obsessed with Egyptology. I’ve been thinking about my journey, where I’ve been and what I’ve been through in the past 14 years (so you can infer from that number that I’m about 25; this December in fact).

Searching your history through the wayback machine can be fun, provided you remember the web addresses. I’ve had websites about Star Trek’s version of the 29th Century, frames, tables et al included; it was even designed for 640×480. Those were the days, huh?

Actually most of my sites were related to Trek in one way or another. The first was for an IRC sim (aka RPG); the second was based on Voyager, the 3rd/4th on my own version of Star Trek (see 29th century above.)

My first blog was called “On the Edge of Forever,” after my favorite original Star Trek episode. (Can you tell I like Trek?) I wish I still had the graphics for that site, but, alas, they’ve been lost in time and archive.org not saving the stylesheet. I was in my freshman (and sadly, only) year of college. It’s amazing what I thought was so important back then, that seems so trivial now.

That blog went online in March of 2004, so that means I’m coming up on my 6th anniversary as a blogger in just 5 short months; not that I’ve been active most of that time. A quick perusal of the archives of this site will tell you that. I tend to post for a while, then go for months without posting. I’ve stopped trying to analyze the reasons why.

A couple of years later, I started this blog. I originally intended it as a kind of “Pharmacy News without Corporate Influence” blog. Podcasts were all the rage, and I even recorded a couple of 10 minute podcasts in which I spoke too fast. I don’t think anybody ever subscribed to them.

So, as is my wont, I let the blog go for a few months, then made another foray into the online world, posting funny and/or annoying stories about my day at work. If you’ve been a long time reader (do I even have any?) You’ve suffered my puns, felt my pain, laughed at (and with) me, and given me an outlet for all my successes and failures. For that, I thank you.

If you’re new to the site, take a moment and look around. I’d like to think some of my old stories still hold their weight. For now, I’ll just say I’m going to try to post more, though the many gaps in my archive are evidence of how well that usually goes.

Otherwise, you can find me on twitter. Yes that was the whole point of this post. It’s taken me a while, but I’ve finally caught the twitter bug.

Well, not the whole point. Or was there even a point at all? You decide. I’m too tired to.

(Sorry for the rambling post. I just felt like typing this out, so, well, there ya go.)
