Wow.  So yesterday’s post was #500.  I guess that’s fine that my 500th post would e a long, quasi-incoherent blathathon about a book I read.  That’s pretty cool.  th efirst post was back in August of 2004.

In August of 2004, I was living in Houston and I was writing for what I endearingly called the “brettlog” on the make or break site.  The tone is a lot different now than it was back then.  I think in ’04 I didn’t even shre the link with anyone.  I had spent the summer working at a furniture warehouse, and I had just quit that job to do some market research.  The market research job was a lot of fun, but I still had two weeks left at my warehouse job.  I remember going into the warehouse job and asking if I could leave two weeks early, and they looked at me in a rather confused manner and said “We thought last Friday was your last day.”  So that was that.

Anyhow, 500 posts.  That’s about 1 post every three days, 6 hours, ~10 a month, etc.  So I guess, if past performance is any indication, it’d be a good bet to visit here every three or four days, and chances are there will be something new.  (Of course, I know there was a lot of blank months between August 04 and May 05, and so on and so forth.  So my average these days, in the brettroyal era, as it were, is probably closer to every other day.  Oh well.)

Happy 500, me.
