My good friend Andy Abramson got an early birthday present this morning, in the form of very public recognition for his pioneering blogger relations programs.  The Washington Post ran a story about blogger programs like his Nokia program, and quoted Andy at the top of the article.

Congratulations, and Happy Birthday, Andy!

Four years ago today, I wrote my first blog postings using Radio from Userland Software.  There were a bunch of other crazy canucks at the time writing, mostly, about politics.  I was between jobs, and wondered what the blogging thing was all about… turned into a bit of an obsession, I’m afraid.  On that day, I wrote about my experiences using Radio, stock option reform, global warming, and rising bank card fraud in Canada.  Unfortunately, many of the sources I pointed to have since succumbed to link rot.
