Happy birthday, mamamusings from Radio Free Blogistan on October 22, 2003 10:22 AM

Today is quite the day from Left in Front on October 22, 2003 12:28 PM
Excerpt: Wow. I started off this fine day with a test in Macroeconomics. It wasn't pretty at first, but then I just seemed to get what the hell she was talking about. I'm not sure I did well, but I didn't...

Excerpt: An interesting thing has happened over the last few days, maybe longer (Thing - yes thing). It's that these characters that have populated comments here, and those that I visit elsewhere have taken on increasingly tangible qualities. There is evidence...

Mama's Got a Blogoversary from An Unsealed Room on October 24, 2003 4:00 AM
Excerpt: Happy one-year anniversary to Mamamusings -- it was the wonderful Liz Lawley, together with MB Williams, who made me aware and later addicted to this thing called blogging. Should one be grateful to one's "blogmothers?" I suppose so, but in...

Excerpt: It hasn't been that long, really. I only started doing this blog thing in June. Well shy of a blogiversary. Yet, in this short time we have developed a cluster of sorts, interlinked like-minded folks with tangential arms. I can...

Happy Blogiversary. Was great meeting you in Toronto (although I hesitate to speculate on how that picture turned out) ;)

Cele-brat-ory challenge from the comment creature.

Fascinating cathexis in the mind of the blogger.

The microphone metaphor both in the first post (... is this thing on?) and in the track back from Many 2 Many. Very suggestive. Microphones amplify voice and instruments. They do the actual recording.

I think that there is another anniversary date to celebrate... re the skin of the site. Especially given recent comments on aggregators.

What was it like re-reading that first posting wrapped in the new skin? And is there an archive of the other looks?

Will some blogger adopt a seasonal approach to styling? Will the software developers build in such features as shifting style sheets based on local time of access?

And in celebration of your aniversary I just had to run the word "microphone" through the search engine -- it of course appears in a comment capturing a track back but not in any of the entries per se. So what about "thing"? Which leads me to a friendly challenge... can the next year be free of the word "thing" in all the blog entries (very permissible in comments) [certainly a little content filter script could help Liz manage this feat] Okay let's start small a "thing"-free month.

Look - it's almost a thing song. Not a month with out the "thing" word appearing: [too bad the search doesn't return KWIC}
