There Is No Cat

Two years

Two years ago today, I unveiled There Is No Cat. One year ago today, I wrote up a list of what I considered my best posts in that first year. I was originally thinking I didn’t write anything worth reading this past year, but looking through the archives, there are a few things that might be worth revisiting.

• Ten Year Anniversary, May 16, 2003, marking ten years of being on the web
• Finding New Music, May 31, 2003, about the many ways I find new music to listen to
• Adventures in the Trademark Zone, June 19, 2003, wherein I whap a greedy businessman upside the head with a clue-by-four
• No Sidewalks in Blogistan, July 20, 2003, explaining how blogs are a lousy way to make friends compared to the alternatives
• Staggering Across the Finish Line, November 20, 2003, is my post here about my entry in that month’s 26 Things project. The writing isn’t all that good there, but I’m quite pleased with many of the photographs
• One, two, three, four, December 31, 2003, where I count my blessings
• ¿Quién?, March 3, 2004, where I exercise my high school Spanish.

The good posts got few and far between as the year progressed. I haven’t posted as often, and I haven’t posted as well. Life tends to get in the way; I got married and bought a house in the past year. I got a new job, same as the old job. We had major construction done on the house. I got a new camera and started shooting a lot of pictures, perhaps focusing on that more than on writing.

Some times I think I’m burning out on the web after eleven years. So if the gaps get wider in the coming months, I’m just recharging my batteries.
