I'm not much for anniversaries generally. However, five years ago goNZo Freakpower was born and it hasn't stopped yet. Which is saying something, because I haven't stuck at much of anything for five years; school, university, employers, the girlfriend experience. None of that. But between good friends and this fine blog, it's been good enough.
From small and uncertain beginnings, this beast has grown over 1000 posts long. If it were human, it would be old enough to attend primary school now.
But was has surprised me most about doing this thing, is what gets read. See that spike? That was Iran. That was heaps of anxious and curious people looking for a clue as to what was happening. Glad I could help. Heh. Ayatollah Khamenei; my part in his downfall.
While the various bloggers keep a track of the local blogosphere, the only one that really matters to me is this. I'm OK with this:
Aside from the thrills of accidental popularity, it has been a rare pleasure to craft letters into meaning. Thanks for reading and a special ta to all the fellow bloggers who prod me into thought when the gears get stuck.

If five entitles a human for entry to primary school it would qualify a blog for university.
Congratulations on the longevity and thanks for the good reading.
Congrtaulations on 5 years.. ( mind you my paper blog has been going for 19 years!!!!) Enjoy your comments. As I did when I did a case with your father a few years back. A good man to deal with. Or was your father one of my ex colleagues at Fletcher Challenge? And Gonzo... I gave my elder son the great t-shirt " When the going gets weird...(other side) the Weird get serious'.
I think it was Tony at Fletcher. Nice one on the Tshirt. I was tempted to get a few when the online store was operating, but dithered too long.
Is your paper blog a personal or public diary?
One of the most intelligent blogs.
You have reminded me. I'm 5 in two months. See you on the naughty mat.
Oooops. Sorry. Only 4. Nowhere near your longevity:-)
